Hi all,
I'm new to this forum and I would like to know if an elite member will get 24h early access to the 3080Ti cards.
If so, it would be impossible to get one without the elite status right?
Thanks

If a 3080Ti sku is eventually released, Elite members will be able to sign up ~24 hours prior to non-Elite members.   

 
I plan to use your code when I do... You rock

Does anyone know if Canadians will have a queue too or if we'll get lumped in with Americans?

We buy from the American queue. Fortunately, the Canadian dollar is pretty strong right now.

Hey, waiting for a "Canadian only" Queue 
Nah, Don't forget about +20% exchange rate, Shipping fees, UPS Canada brokerage fees, import tax, PST, GST.  Everybody gets a cut.

I was able to get a 3060 in a few months of being in the queue - I signed up on launch day. Really hoping to recreate that magic for the card I really want - this one. I need it for work and gaming. So willing to wait but I have no hope in the other queues.

I assume there will be multiple 3080ti product skus on release day for auto notifiy. Is there a limit to how many of the same line (3080ti) you can get auto notified for?

U can notify for each sku but whichever one u aim for first should probably be the one you want the most.

Dang I've been in the queue for the 3080s & 3070s for months now and no luck

Maybe soon there will be more cards for everyone

So do they announce a new card a certain amount of time before the Elite queue is opened up?
 
Regarding the earlier thought about probably needing a bot to get something... *sign* Yea well, most of us don't have a bot... :(

Right there with ya :/

The whole point of the EVGA system is to block bots & scalpers
You probably don't need one here ?

Hey, that's just fine by me. :)

Thank you for the info, I might actually have a chance this time to get one!

You may. However, if you are not yet Elite and trying to achieve that status via forum posts, please find an appropriate thread for non-substantive posts (e.g., , , or ). Your fellow forum members will appreciate your discretion.     
 
Best of luck!

love  you, that's very useful :D

Well, you’d pay the sales tax anyway if you bought it locally, and currently Canadian MSRP prices are high relative to the exchange rate, so it’s really just a question of the shipping and brokerage. If that’s the difference between getting a card at close to list price versus waiting all year or paying scalper prices, I’ll take my chance. Of course, I’ll also try to find one locally in addition to getting in the queue.

Canada is going to have very little stock considering most of our retailers have next not protection against multiple purchases. 

Yeah, when the RTX 3080 released, there was almost no local stock. Some stores had one or two to sell, many had none. And there has been very little availability in the 8 months since. Nothing on NewEgg.ca, no online sales from Canada Computers, nothing at Best Buy. When I couldn’t get a 3080 at release, I figured I’d find one in the next few months, surely by the end of the year. At this point I don’t think I’ll have a chance to buy one even a year after release. Maybe it’ll be better with the new cards, but I think that the EVGA queue is probably the best bet to get something this year.

Do Elite members get an email notification that a new product has gone up for the 24h pre-public queue?
 
Also, does anyone know if these things normally go up at 12am, or does the time vary? I know that this is a long weekend in the US, so I wasn't sure what would happen. :/

you'll get an email telling you when the queue will open up for elite members. That's how it worked for the z590 motherboard. And they gave a few days notice for that one so as long as you check your email every day you'll be fine.

And that queue opened at 10am pst.

Still no sign of an e-mail from EVGA regarding 3080ti. They have a page for 3080ti now, which says says "coming soon"

What about EU side? Which site should we use for the Queue System since I got mine from the US one previously and don't know anything about the EU one.

Is there any way someone can post a valid link to where the page will be live?  The last few launches I searched around the site to find no live links, only to find later that people were already signing up for some time, and the product pages just hadn't been updated to include the new card yet.
 
Also, is there a definitive time for the elite queue to go live?  So I can plan to be somewhere with access to the site?
