How do Elites see this 24 hour access window?
Go to the product page and click the notify button. If you are logged in, and you have access (Elite requirement or whatever requirement EVGA decides), if it is available, there will be a button to sign up for the queue and be notified when your queue position comes up. If you don't see the notify button on the product page, the queue isn't open.
What time and time zone did 24 hour access start for the RTX 3080 12GB card?
6 am PST. When EVGA opens for business, you better hope you called in sick for work that day (I know, dumb as hell if they are supposedly catering to the average working person and not the jobless scalper).
Was anyone able to buy a RTX 3080 12GB card during that 24 hour access window?
I assume you mean "anyone" as in non-Elites as well. I don't think anyone knows for sure. It was a mess. Was it just Elites? Was it also non-Elites? I haven't heard for sure either way. I don't think people had the time to log in, see it was available, log out see that it was no longer available, log back in and order it. It's a mad scramble trying to get it and get around the site breaking.
Was there a 24 hour access notice for the RTX 3050 already or should it be coming shortly?
Nope. Will there be one? It's impossible to predict. If the the 3080 12gb is anything to go by, don't expect a heads-up.
Did the Queue close before the 24 hour access was over?
Yeah, it closed after 90 minutes, max. Some people said it was broken multiple times during that 90 minute window, so who knows the exact amount of time it was accessible. It was already closed before my first work shift break started.
