do you think the same thing is gonna happen tomorrow when autonotify is opened up to the rest of the people on the site?

lol probably worst.

didn't want to spam the forums for elite in order to get a card, but seeing how the situation now, I don't think it would've made a difference if I did or not.

If you get an error on the auto notify screen, right click anywhere in the white box, select "back" then try again. If the black "Something Broke" page pops up do the same thing on there. If access denied pops up DO THE SAME THING until success. Then refresh entire page.  
 
Works for Chrome, haven't tested other browsers.

Dude, thanks. That actually worked on Edge as well. I was refreshing the page every time, this probably saved me 20 page reloads/crashes/fails.

2nd verify, this works!

I got close a few times before hitting walls in the last minute on the auto-notify page, but finally got through 9:41AM CST
 
Several times the auto-notify page would have an error about other page tabs being open when I had none, had to completely close all sessions out.

Yea, so how does the Elite thing work if anybody can access the auto notify button??????  Do they hand sort through all the members auto notify list or what??

 
People who aren't Elite members don't get an auto-notify button.  See image:
 

 

Btw if we queue for four cards can we purchase them all once we get to our turn in the queue? I know it won't be all at once obviously.

Imagine you wake up one day having not enough sleep and struggling to get into a queqe position which from you will probably still have to wait months to get a gpu thats 1199.99 and 1399.99 (I think) for the cooler version.

LoL just threw a top 100 mario songs of all time and after one hour and 56 minutes with "Mario Galaxy ending playing on the background" quite hilarious I managed to get into queqe. What a disaster of a year but I will post again whenever I get the chance to buy this 3080ti. Who knows if this Elite thing really do it´s job although this Elite status is relatively new. I am in queqe for normal 3080 since september with no luck but that´s the thing right if there is a system why the need of any luck?. Love EVGA. Gamer since FX5200 128mb video ram AGP 8X, 250 Mhz, remember playing Time Comando, Twinsen´s Odyssey and the Sims 1 yeah (I´m that old) Even remember my brother erasing Windows files to get room for games and crashing the pc requiring calling the tech. Customer with EVGA since GTX280, excellent products. Well now the play list which is on youtube btw is playing "super mario 64 inside the castle walls" and that´s get me the feeling I gotta get back to work. 

Good luck for all of you gamers. See you in whatever lobbies life put us together. 

- Do not stop trying
- Use one tab browser only
- Make sure you are logged in, if notify button appears in blue elite members, it doesn´t matter if you are one. It just means you are not logged in. Once you are, notify button will just appear orange normally.
- Do not look only for the product page, try to re direct from other places from the website
- Do NOT buy from scalpers
- If you need to resell, re sell MSRP. Nvidia is already the scalper it self
- Characters to Blame (if you feel the necesity which I understand). Scalpers, bots, miners, tutorials of the previous ones.
- Do not despair. Not getting it now doesn´t mean not getting it at all. It´s just a privilege of first timers.

so do you get to buy one or just get an auto-notification email? how do I check if I am an elite member? each time I go to the access link they all say out of stock and sign up for email notafication?

Yup this is exactly how I got it

Dear EVGA,
 
We are your customers, not scalpers or bots.  We have been sitting here since 5:40AM waiting on your queue.  It's pretty obvious your servers were hit by a bunch of bots and your loyal customers got hosed.  I think you should look at who is posting on this forum, note that they were logged in at 6AM, and frankly just send us the purchase requests.  I have all 4 auto notifies, just like everyone else now, but I"m sure I'm way back in line because your site was mobbed by bots.
 
Do a tiny bit of research and please don't screw us!  Getting a GPU has been a difficult process.  I'm sure everyone here just wants one!
 
Thanks

how to build a system that does not kill itself at a certain time:
 
1. collect reservations over a 4/X hour period with a heavy captcha upfront to weed out bots.
2. randomly select reservations based on stock and dole them out.
 
now everyone and their mother-in-law does not take down your system at a specific time and instead naturally spreads the load over 4/X hours.

Only took 2.5 hours.......LOL

So, who's got the earliest time stamps? 
Were some able to get in at 6am PT?  Seems like most took 1.5hrs+ to get thru eh?

oh wow thats cool, considering we all got unlogged this am and re logging is impossible rn.  that is why i lost so much time on the queue this last half hour, huh?  yet again, EVGA's fault.  i am going to call to demand that my first crashed attempt that was logged is slotted as a place on queue.  non working buttons, not working on widely used browsers after that.  i am NOT paying for this kind of incompetence

i was unable to get the free mouse edition, cause website was bugged. Wonder if EVGA support would through it in for me where i got in so early. 

I saw and clicked the notify once, but never saw it again after the failed first attempt.

I tried to get that one as well, by the time I got back to the page, the Auto-Notify was gone, guess they had a limit...Launch Edition would've been cool.
 
Here are my, finally successful Notifies:
