@lemuth80 it looks like the tweet you got from Jacob was definitely a "possibly" and not a sure thing.
 
The tweet is a bit confusing because someone asked another question.
 
Really hoping for next week because Jacob did not provide an ETA when asked...doesn't sound good

The price hike and the delays are not evga's fault at all.  I don't see how ANYONE can blame EVGA at all.  You can fight with everyone else trying to buy GPUs on Bestbuy/Newegg/B&H etc and maybe win; With this queue system, all you had to do was sign up on a site, and get a spot.  Trump is the reason for the price hikes for increasing Tariffs, only reason it is happening now, is because some supplies were under exceptions that expired. 
 
  
 
- Again, not EVGAs fault.  Also, as to why EVGA still supplies other vendors with GPUs, is because well, there is this thing called contracts and agreements, especially if EVGA still wants to be carried by that reseller in the future.  People complaining about 'waiting' and the price hike, are real first world problems.  At least you are in a place to purchase a GPU (a $2000 one in this case.)  Also $70 price hike compared to the other AIBs is almost nothing.  I'm glad to wait, and if it costs an extra $70 oh well. If you had $2000 cash set aside, should have bought some dogecoin back in december, and  would have enough to buy 17 Kingpins.  If you were going to use Credit, then more time to save real money, and not pay interest.

Quick question:  Is the $2069 price tag on the store page considered post-rate hike?  Or is it going to go up another $70 or so?

Yes. TDS is the reason for manufacturers being shut down for close to year. Nothing globally happened that shut down manufacturing and global supply chains. It was purely Donald Trump. It has nothing to do with supply and demand. It had nothing to do with bots artificially inflating demand and increasing prices. It’s just all Donald Trumps fault. /s
 
Probably the most smooth brained hot take I’ve seen so far on the forums. Tariffs/Covid/Bots are the problem.

The tariffs are the reason the components increased for AIBs that already had contracts and pricing negotiated with their vendors, do you not know how supply chains work?  Those contracts were signed long ago so the 'price per cap' is still .0006 but now you pay an additional .000001 because of tariffs.  Sure the AIBs can increase the prices because of the supply demand, but its actually costing AIBs MORE because of the the tariffs.  And EVGA isnt (as of now) price gauging, so the covid/bots isnt part of the queue problem.  Might want to get your 'smooth' brain issue checked out.

As soon as I saw DR's post (pre-edit), I started crafting my "popcorn" response in my head. And then I read further...and ya'll beat me to it...and better than I could have come up with. Don't mind me...I'll be licking up the silicon shavings in the corner.
