Some distributors aren't taking orders for a few models given the low availability.  So, while those models aren't discontinued per EVGA, they are darn near impossible to find in the wild (or for the queue apparently).  The effect is that they may have well been cancelled.
 
Good morning everybody.  

Good morning bro. Probably gonna be crickets today huh

Maybe a straggler or two in the morning, but that is likely it for the regular series.  EVGA_JacobF mentioned on their stream last week and via Twitter that there was a possibility that the first Kingpin invite to purchase emails may go out to that queue today.  If EVGA is like many companies, they will have a "soft close" for the long weekend and close up all non-essential services by 3 pm or so.

Ya that makes sense. I am working today but am I actually? No not really. I'm already in Turkey Mode

This is the only info about possibly canceled SKUs I've found:

Jacob said it's not discontinued and I believe him.  HOWEVER, it's impossible to "discontinue" a product they've never made...  So I can't tell if this is just the regular corporate PR wordsmithing designed to avoid controversy or if this is a commitment to actually sell this SKU.  Though after 2 months of no production that distinction is essentially moot.

Saw it a few pages back, but I really wished they would have consolidated the queues if they knew they weren't going to be producing specific SKUs. We know that they have this all planned out, and its not like they aren't getting stock for specific cards. They are specifically making ULTRA cards, because profit. I have no issues with a company making money, just that they advertised multiple SKUs with no real intention to fill them. As a logical shopper, I selected the notify for the specific card that I was interested in, based on the information given to the community that stock is limited to you need to be prepared. I thought if I would have got notifications for multiple SKUs, that could have been confusing and potentially slow down checkout. Hindsight 20/20 that was WAY wrong.
 
Just wish they could have at least asked if we wanted to move to a queue that they were going to fill, and slid us in at a spot that was reasonable.
 
I also tweeted Jacob a couple days back asking if they are planning on filling any Gaming line cards any time soon and didnt get a response. Last time he responded to me and said "some were filled"

I get you're unhappy with how the queues have been moving, everyone is. But I truly don't think it was their master plan to have various cards and have people sign up to buy them and then never sell them. I just doesn't work like that. Why would a company spends tens of thousands of dollars to create and design a product and put into production to never sell it or to only sell a few of it?? Obviously they want to sell a bunch of them
 
I think a lot of people are putting EVGA at fault specifically when I am sure a lot of it is our of their control. Sure, it doesn't help they keep adding SKUs but its a business and they have to have multiple offerings to stay competitive
 
Hindsight is 20/20, you should've signed up for all of the queues for the 3080 (or 3070/3090) so you'd have an option when your number was called
 
For now, you shouldn't just rely only on the EVGA queue. If you really want a 30 series card and you need it soon (like for Cyberpunk) you need to start using online resources like NowInStock, or a discord or something to try and get in there. In the last 2-3 weeks there have been several opportunities to get cards from Best Buy, Walmart, etc at MSRP. If you don't need the card in a hurry, then eventually your number will be called

This is me rn. I hate the queue, especially the fact the 3070 XC3 black won’t move a damn second but like I’m in no hurry 😂 even though I just really want to get a graphics card!

What product are you indicating that EVGA has never made? All of the queues have moved SOMEWHAT even if almost no movement, but that would indicate they have actually made cards for all of the available SKUs??

So as a newbie to this whole thing, if I created an account now, used the auto-notify for the 3080 ftw ultra, i'm pretty much done until i get a followup from EVGA saying "Hey, time to buy the card" right?
 
I see the notify thing in the user panel for the card and got the email from evga saying i was registered for the auto notify.
 
If that's the case, then hope I get some news soon.

Yup, that is pretty much it.  Sign ups today, though, are unlikely to get an invite until a number of weeks into 2021.  Please check your auto-notify page to make sure the system recorded all of the registrations you intended to make: https://www.evga.com/community/myNotifies.asp.
 
Good luck!

If you signed up to be auito-notified today, then you definitely have a wait until 2021, sorry bud
 
If you want to keep tabs on your "place" in the queue, then our member enewt posts a breakdown 1-2x a day showing queue movement for the day, here is the latest: 
 
EVGA starts sending emails out between 9-5am pacific
 
You can check your queue times by going to  or from evga.com go to Member --> My EVGA --> View My Notifies

Thanks! I'm ok with waiting. Good things come to those who wait. I don't see a "queue" time but i do see this
 
* Edit - looks like links are bad
 

 
 
Either way, here's hoping everyone gets one eventually.

I have added myself to the 3080 FTW Ultra list earlier this month, but frankly, joining the end of that queue now is pointless as I doubt my number will be called before the 4th of July, at best.

 
The last significant drop of the 3080 FTW3 Ultra moved the queue timeline a little over 2 hours.  The card is through its launch day congestion of mass registrations.  It will slow down again around 10/5 - 10/6 when the queue process was announced, but otherwise it should be moving pretty quickly (assuming similar volumes and cadences of past drops).  In short, you should get your "invite to purchase" email for that card months before July 4.  I would think Feb 14 would be a good target date -- take with buckets of salt though...lots of rank speculation on that prediction.
 
Best of luck!

As we approach what will likely be a quiet day (or at least afternoon) of reflection, here is the state of the North American queues (bolded font represents movement from Tuesday morning’s summary; italicized parentheticals calculate the length of the movement):

* One spreadsheet reported a 4:10 am time stamp on 10/6.  While that is possibly valid, I am going to hold off adding it until we get confirmation.  There were likely very few North American registrations between 8:52 pm and 4:10 am PT, so it might be a valid data point.  We will know more on the next drop.
 
Thanks for being part of this community.  You have all made my wait feel less interminable, more humorous and, ultimately, much more hopeful.  I am grateful to and for you all. 
 
Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!  (Please consider this a belated Thanksgiving greeting to those in this thread of Canadian residence.  Be safe, eh.)

I'm really beginning to seriously consider simply buying an entire new PC just to get a 30 series card.  It's not completely an over the top idea since I've planning on building my daughter a new computer next year anyway.  Thinking to get pretty much the lowest end system I can find with a 3080 option to keep the cost down.  She's only 8 and mainly only plays Roblox and video chats with a couple friends so she doesn't need much.

I'm wondering though just how much availability the PC builders like CLX, NZXT BLD, iBuyPower, etc. might have...

There is no indication or confirmation unfortunately if the congestion is even over for the 17th for the FTW3 Ultra. It could go on again same thing for the 18th too, the 19th, etc.
 
Reality is (unfortunately) we do not know when it will get better.
 
All we can do is wish for the best, and people need to keep their hopes and dreams in check because so far it's mostly disappointment and delays after disappointment and delays since the beginning with no real end in sight...
 
My spot for the FTW3 Ultra is Sept 22nd 6:00am and I gave up on getting my card before February 2021 at least, and by that time the whole circus will start again because the TI will probably be out and I will go for this one instead.

You could be right.  However, the original spreadsheets -- back before they were hacked -- indicated a HUGE drop off of registrations after the 17th.  That could be because the "second day" cohort were less likely to participate in a crowdsourced spreadsheet (probably likely) but the drop off was significant and we have seen similar momentum spikes from the 3090 cards between their launch day and 10/5 when the queue system was announced.  
 
I will choose to believe in increasing card velocity and momentum.  

I spend my time making a hell  of a lot more money than if I spent it looking for a card. I bought a MSI 3090 TRIO to hold me over. I paid a little extra but I can scalp it back when I get my EVGA, or lose a few bucks, but I have the card to use. I am also pushing my 2080 tis hard in my other racing systems. I have 3 rigs for me and friends and three systems for standing VR, so I need a lot of cards.

I hope you enjoy your card. Your rig assortment sounds cool!

Just ordered my 3080 FTW Ultra, and I used enewts code!!  I think I was at 8:57pm on the 17th.  Thanks for all your help/PM's enewt!!  Monday can't come fast enough... :)
