I am not sure how many pages, but there is a lot of toxic conversation... I believe a lot of frustration... Yes EVGA did another "unexpected" launch in them of failure rate. And everyone don't have the same odds... You location in the US determine your "luck" in a sense that your ping is not identical... And your own hardware... It doesn't need to turn vitriol here... I already have my kphc (one might tell me that I cheated then, which I did not)... Try to keep it civilized please. I am happy to see more people getting some goodness, but if you are not aware there is a chip shortage... And EVGA, as far as I know, is the best of all in term of customer consideration. Did they rise the price? Yes, why, Tarif. Did they increase too much, I don't think so, and they have great quality products, with I believe a great support following conversation and people feedback, not just on the forum.

Remember one thing, EVGA did the queue to give us a fair chance (in a true customer oriented fashion) and it's not perfect, it cost them to do that, the price of there product stay the same. No need to fight each other here.

That's my rant, and I hope most of you will get your GPU within a month, that would be awesome.

I personally have not read the vitriol. I'm not saying it didn't occur.... I came late to the party. I was just pressing for answers because every answer they gave didn't make sense. Then when they were caught in a flat out lie, they ghosted the forums.
 
I think it's interesting and needs to be investigated, otherwise I couldn't care less and do not view them negatively for getting into the queue early, even if they used questionable methods. I can only hope they have some way to detect that and do not honour those queue positions that may have used those methods.

Maybe they opened the queue because enough people were complaining. Last drop had people getting emails on the same day for the GPU then there was an 18 day gap for the next group. All of this data is ONLY what people gave Newt, not necessarily everyone is reporting. I was not part of the last drop, but one can hope that there were not HUNDREDS more that got in line and are just not reporting. I believe that with them releasing a few cards queues on the same day, maybe it did make it a little more hectic, but maybe it also slowed people the hell down too. I feel lucky to have even gotten into the queue. 
I do agree though, the early stuff is suspicious. I had the page open as soon as I got to work at 7 CST, so 5 PT. I kept looking at the page, refreshing, making sure I was logged in. Never did I see a glimpse of auto notify show up. It actually didn't show up for me until about 10 minutes after 9 PT, but that was the first time I was even able to get the page to load. After that, I kept getting errors until somehow it magically took my entry at 9:44:44 PT. I didn't even know it took my entry until a few minutes later. *shrug* I still think its suspicious, but had I seen the button pop up, I sure as heck would have clicked on it and filled out my information too. 
Zippytek is right. Life is not fair. Fair is where you go to get funnel cake. We take what life gives us and we deal with it, right?
<3 congrats to everyone who got on the list.

To address claims of my account being made a week ago, I checked my email and I created my account in mid may. Well before the 3080ti and 3070ti drops. You cannot make baseless arguments and claims without having any facts to prove it, just because someone got a faster time doesn’t mean they are cheating the system.

I was on a couple discord chats since I have been looking for a 3080 ti and people have ways to get the notify page ready (link) for when the drop happens. What would make sense to me, is these "early" people were using that method before the notify button existed. They wouldn't have to actually see the button to get the link to work and then if the system allowed it, it would have worked. I saw this method mentioned on the 3080 ti drop day. Never heard of anyone getting in before the queue opening time though. We have to be realistic and understand people will find ways around the system, use alternative methods (scripts and bots), and yeah its unfair. I just wonder if EVGA will do anything about it. It seems like they tend to just ignore it and sell to whoever manages to get on the queue. I find it extremely hard to believe that EVGA accidentally opened the notify button. I do find it 100% possible if they were spamming that link they managed to create that the system let them straggle in. 
 
I cannot get the link to post here, but there is a forum post on here name  " How were people able to sign up for 3070ti at 6:01 AM? (p.2)"

I was using the link method and I still couldn't get in for an hour-and-a-half. It was confirmed that you didn't even have to worry about the token for this drop. I'm not going to argue one way or another as far as removing the early people goes but I would guess they got in via bots. With the chat and notification groups I'm in if the button had just appeared on the site someone would have noticed it and said something. I'm talking tens to over a hundred thousand people.

Going to go on a side tangent here.
 
I am planning on selling my 3090 KP Hydro Copper this week.
 
What do you guys think if fair for a less than one month old card that has not been used much?
 
Looks prestine.

MSRP + 20-50% or so.  3xxx cards don't depreciate yet
