I’ve been in the queue since 9/17 @1101 and nothing you mean that you haven’t even gotten to the two hour mark of the queue yet. Something doesn’t seem right.

Newegg and amazon have been getting most of the GPUs.

$30 MILLION of Nvidia gpus sold to BITCOIN Mining corp

I’m not going to outright accuse you of lying but I find this hard to believe. I queued in November.


 
That‘s just one of the 3080s I was able to queue for. 
 
 

The OP was probably referring to the Black or Gaming, which has not moved at all.

Umm, other manufacturers don't even have queues so how can you say that?

How can I say what? I said a lot in there. But I'll take a guess. "Why am I calling the queue a scam?"
 
Because it is unreliable. Because it isn't being directly focused. Because they don't care if you are a scalper or not. Because there is zero accountability. Because they don't spend any moment of any day actually trying to treat their customers as customers.
 
So instead, maybe once a month they might push 10 cards towards the queue. While they send out thousands of cards to Amazon, BestBuy, and many other stores. Who then allow bots to buy them all up in a single transaction.
 
Just because there is a queue. Does not mean your position in the queue will ever get a video card offer to purchase. At the end of the day we do not matter. Because if we did, then they would be working their butts off to put video cards into the hands of their customers in the queue. You can not rely on the queue to move and to obtain stock. There is zero time frame. Many of us have been sitting in the queue waiting, for months, with almost no movement to speak of.
 
Me personally, I have been a hardcore EVGA fan for many years. Pointed every one of my friends and family towards EVGA. To show for that, I have a spot in the queue and they have barely moved 3 days in orders over 6 months. I'm more than 3 weeks out from that place. That means I'm looking at more than 3 years to get an offer to buy a 3080. By then, they will of released other models.

I'm in queue for the 3080 FTW3 Ultra.
 
The queue is more likely going to be shut down and discarded than it will be fulfilled. More than likely the same die's get used for the 3090's.
 
It was a bandaid to stem the tide of emails they got regarding stock and the fact that the bot networks spammed their sales server into oblivion.
 
If people had known that they were going to disregard manufacturing specific models then they could of made different choices regarding the video cards. But EVGA does not care one bit about us. People that care, communicate. 
 
They don't come in here to read the forums. They don't do anything to help customers get video cards. They don't do anything to actually support their future customer base. They don't inform their customers or make manufacturing numbers available to be an informed buyer.
 
I have zero hope for EVGA to get their act in order and actually support their queue. The whole thing is a giant scam. The only way the queue has enabled people to get multiple cards is because they have signed up onto every single queue with no intention of buying all of them. Where as considerate people who are looking just to get 1 video card with in their means gets ****ed over for only signing up to a single queue. If a store during Black Friday has a queue. Everyone gets in eventually. They don't take months to push through. Is it a fair shake against EVGA? Nope. It isn't. But neither is their queue offering a fair shake. 
 
It is impossible to get a video card if you need one. It is impossible to get the video card you want unless you are willing to pay 3 times the cost. Charging 1500 dollars for a 3080 isn't going to bother the scalpers either. They will simply shift the video cards they already have on hand to 4000 to 5000 dollars. Where morons will still buy them. Further screwing people over who are already struggling in a ****ing pandemic just to get an upgrade they want. The day this happens, I will fully support the public execution of any scalper and miner by any means.

I was in for the 3080 FTW3 Ultra as well joined in September. EVGA just received my 2070 Super step-up today so the queue is working.

I fail to see how a 2070 super step up results in proof that the queue is working.

im sorry u put your egg into 1 basket aka the xc3 black which basically has no margin . they had to do that one for a small batch just to keep in line with nvidia starting at 699... times have changed.. component increase in price combine with shortage from fabs and miners making 2/3x asking price...
 
u can't force a company to sell at 699 for u just because you've showed interest via auto notify
