For real, I had never owned an EVGA card before, but because I was spending a....lets call it excessive amount of time hunting cards, I became aware of the release dates. This led me to researching when they were likely to drop day of, adjusting my schedule, and being ready. I've also been there for AMD drops, successfully, and been fighting the scalpers at Best Buy since February. Literally everyone in my family has a GPU now, a few 6700XT's in there but beggars can't be choosers  I've also spent literally DAYS worth of hours at it, as well as using vacation here and there.
 
People like this keep popping up, because their GPU died yesterday or they finally have enough money to upgrade, upset because they can't just 'go buy' something at MSRP, welcome to the club dude. Okay now they're actually looking into options, and as you say this is the ONLY manufacture offering a queue. So the only option they see borne of what I can only assume is basement dwelling entitlement is to complain and moan that they can't cut in line ahead of people that have been waiting over a year in some cases? Sorry, not how it works. That's like saying you already have a car, you can't go buy another car until I have one (kinda relevant as there is an ECU shortage as well). Well, my wife needs a car, and my nephew, and my dad. So if I know how to get a car at MSRP I'm going to get one for everyone I know that can't and if you show up 6 months into the shortage because your crap-mobile died, that's not my fault nor do you get preferential treatment.
 
On a related note, LOVING my 3060 ti in my little H1 XBox build. I have all the frames I'll ever need (for at least 3 years). EVGA

Haha, thanks for understanding where I was coming from. The part that bothers me the most about these peolle that dip into the thread to just complain real quick then disappear is how they give everyone else in their situation a bad name. I'm one of those people that only queued for the one card they truly wanted. On top of that I was a little late to the game. I'm now about 4-4 1/2 days away on the kingpin hybrid queue, 7th in line but it hasn't moved since Oct 25th. Thinking I might have to wait for the next sku release. But that doesn't turn me sour towards a system that I filed to take full advantage of...

Thursday morning, ~6:55AM PST, show up on AMD for the AMD que. Not sure what you're running now, but I had a 6800XT in my old build and it was pushing 3090 level Timespy scores (21.3k graphics) and only pulling like 300w. It would DEFINITELY be a good placeholder until your queue pops, and you could sell it for MSRP used and still be viewed as a saint ($649 still I think). 
 
Best Buy is a flustercluck, but if you're on something like the Fixitfixitfixit discord and have alerts turned on you can snag something there (just sent a Aorus 3060ti off to an old WoW buddy a few weeks ago from a BB drop).
 
Times are hard, but salty ain't going to get you anything but a sour taste in your mouth. Good luck dude!

As someone that is SUPER impatient I understand.
 
I'd be more than willing to impart what I know to help peeps (see above), but they have to be receptive.

I wonder if they will be dropping old SKU-s again when the "super" variants come out and you need to rush to add new notifies?
I doubt they have the capacity to manufacture both SKU-s at the same time.

Or how are they planning to introduce new ones.  They stopped all notifies and you are stuck on 2 oldest ones.
Even if they open, you still can't remove the other SKU-s anymore. Make new accounts with new emails?

I imagine a few old skus may be dropped, especially the 3090 as the 3090 Ti is expected to replace it at the same msrp. The 3090 Ti will use Samsungs new 2gb ddr6x module so all 24gb of vram can be put on the gpu side and all make contact with the cooler.

Also heard rumors that the current Ti cards will be dropped and replaced by the Supers with msrp staying the same but performance obviously being slightly worse

Wait, the Ti's will out perform the supers? Or vice versa?

The general consensus is that Normal < Super < Ti, given past Nvidia's behaviors, but it's really everyone's guess how the new GPUs will perform.

That is interesting. 20 series only the 2080 had a ti, and a super right?

So it turns out those camels won the D3 Men's Soccer Championship. Hopefully that will bode well for us this week...Wednesday is just a few short days away.  
 
In the meantime, weekend saltiness notwithstanding, it is time for us to go again. Hopefully EVGA has some rewards for our patience today.
 
Best of luck!

Indeed.

I decided to step up my 3080 ti to a 3090 took just 19 days to get thru the step up queue was not expecting it that fast, thou now that the 3090 ti seems real maybe I should have waited.

Wow, I didn't realize the salt farms had so much excess salt last week.  Going to need some of that over here in the north eastern usa, winter is coming, lol.
 
Hope all are well, get them shopping lists done, just your daily reminder, lol.

Just received a notification for 24G-P5-3987-KR 4/28/2021 12:55:04 PM PT. They really seemed to crank the delivery of those cards up. Will probably wait a few hours to think it over. Really want a 3080 () but estimates have my position of June 1st at 900 days away...

Thanks for reporting back. Best of luck with you decision.

im confused about how many hybrids have come up on the queue considering we were told to only choose ultras and gaming gpus. I gave up on my hybrid and kept a card that hasn't showed up in months. oh well.

it's completely random...but...Asetek makes the hybrid coolers for the 3080/ti and 3090 pcbs...they make a much larger amount of these coolers than evga can produce for the hydro copper series...this is because the hydro copper blocks have to be cnc'd....it's not an easy/quick process for hc blocks...but asetek does deliver hybrid coolers pretty often. Soo there won't be as big of a gap between hybrid releases and hydro copper releases

Gmail sent my 11/18 notify to spam... I didn't realize until I logged into the website and saw NOTIFY:YES...  I missed out and feel sick to my stomach.  Better luck next year I guess.. Good luck to you brothers, I recommend adding ordernotify@evga.com to your safe senders list. 

Reply to the invite to purchase email and in your reply indicate your desire to purchase the card. EVGA may do you a solid and rehabilitate the invite.  Best of luck!

If it helps, the step ups for the 3080s are closer to October so once those are fulfilled, might have some of them being allocated for the queue.

I think I will go ahead and purchase the 3090. So naturally, I would expect the largest shipment of 3080's to ever happen in the next few days. I'm talking the queue will move months.
