This is embarrassing. I can find all kinds of information about this EVGA Queue 3.0, but I can't figure out how to actually get my name on the list. I can't even find a thread here where someone else has asked this question.
I've found the product I'm interested in and it says: "Due to high demand, the notify queue sign-up is temporarily disabled." Well, that's nice, but how do I know when it's re-enabled? Am I supposed to browse to the page repeatedly until that message goes away? Am I supposed to turn on a notification somewhere to let me know that the queue is open? In one of the threads here, I see mention of a 20 hour window. In another, a 90 minute window. Am I supposed to check back twice a day? Every 90 minutes?
Sorry for being confused.

Only way to get into the queue is to sign up for auto notify on a video card. The only video card with the auto notify at the time of this comment is the RTX 3050 XC Gaming.

OK. Thanks. Any idea why that's the only card with Auto Notify available? For any other card, I'd have to come back every hour? Every day?

As mentioned above the only GPUs in queue 3.0 are the 3050s and the 3080 12GBs. Everything that was released prior, are in queue 2.0 which is all of these https://forums.evga.com/FindPost/3522435 and we have no idea when, or if for some SKUs, those queues will reopen as EVGA is trying to fulfill the masses already in those queues. The 3090 Ti is supposed to release next in queue 3.0, but that was delayed by Nvidia and again NFI. This also affects the KingPin version of the card. The times you mention above, 20 hour and 90 minute, are a mix of posts. Nvidia decided to do a quiet/no notice release of the 3080 12GBs and the window to auto notify was maybe 90 minutes or less and then it was closed. Under queue 2.0, if you receive a notification to purchase, i.e., your number came up in the queue, you have 20 hours to respond to the email. However for queue 3.0, it is now 24 hours. Unfortunately this is the situation as it stands now.

I'd rather have my name on a list than there be no list at all (like every other retailer).

Well, the 3050 queue closed quite fast, and didn't expect that. However I aim for the 3080 12GB, and was afraid I missed it, guess I will still keep an eye on.
Is twitter the fastest way to find info on a new queue opening?

The 3050 XC Gaming queue remains open to registrations.
