All retailers need to limit to one card per person per quarter.

If only. Then again I had to return a card earlier this year and haven't been able to get another.

Yeah wish retailers would work together at times like these when we have such a shortage.

Retailers are the last link in the chain beside you. Look upstream where the cards are going. Plus there is very large demand from regular gamers that just want one card.

My wife and I live in the same house and both have new PCs just waiting on a GPU. If they do 1 card per house hold how do we get one for each of us?

I can't believe Amazon hasn't implemented a queue system for GPUs. They certainly have the resources to do it.

I guess you and your wife would have to share but at least one of you could get a GPU rather than right now where neither can. You would probably even be able to get the exact model you wanted too instead of right now where you overpay and take whatever you can find.

Just in general, most retailers don't care as long as they get their money.

I'd expect the big dogs like Amazon not to care but this would be a great opportunity for smaller player to gain some goodwill with consumers

I wrote the same in another post. I believe that retailers must do something to stop scalpers. It isn't that hard that they limit one card per person or, at least, cancel the orders of those who use bots to buy large quantities.

I don't think any retailer actually care to stop the bots and scalpers.... as long as they are making money it's all good in their eyes.
I absolutely give props to EVGA for instituting a notification que system... its not perfect but at least they are trying

Why did you have to return it, unless it was defective and then I would probably have gone to the Brand and send in to Warranty?

All they care about is selling their stock. Are they selling (answer obvious)? Then why would they shoot themselves in the foot.
If anything, they make anti-consumer decisions, such as Newegg with the combos, which still sell instantly.

Sadly limitations like that would have a lot of kinks to work out, which would then also involve suppliers (ie. NVidia/AMD/AIB Partners) communicating with retailers, of which would leak a lot of info and ruin announcement events. Its a lot of headache they'd rather avoid due to the fact that retailers are making sales either way.

Why would they not immediately sell their inventory if the could? A crack down on mining is really the only way I see this being resolved. But that seems unlikely too.

Although mining may be the source of the issue, the actual cause are all the scalpers... controlling/eliminating scalpers and the bots is what is really needed to get things under control

I totally agree that scalpers and bots are the primary cause of this problem. People will stop complaining if stores do something to stop the bots for real. Everyone should have equal chances to get a card. For example, in amazon, only people using bots have a real chance to get a GPU.

mining is part pf the problem , need good laws that prevent scalping and price gouging

At this point the queue is turning out to be just a marketing ploy... The queue hasn't moved an inch since November last year...they're not sending any gpus to EU, so yeah...it would've been a nice gesture if they followed through.

The queue not moving is more so an indicator of the massive demand for the gpus; I wouldn't call it so much as a ploy. There's no doubt that the market is in a ****ty spot now, and I have heard poor things for EU's supply compared to NA for the queue, but that could be thrown up to a lot of variables. Dendra

The queue is a good IDEA, still better than the botted up Amazon drops and such. But unfortunately lots of miners/scalpers are also in those queues, and many of us who aren't on top of things all the time (like me) just didn't know when cards went up for queue, so we're either minutes behind (which equates to weeks/months at least in waiting) or god forbid trying to queue NOW.
I'm glad EVGA is trying something new. Hopefully systems will continue to improve as time goes on.

And IMO, it has a higher potential of exacerbating the scalping of hardware because with these "packages" that NewEgg is doing with the shuffle... the Motherboard, PSU, Monitor, KB/M combo - whomever gets selected and ONLY needs a GPU, is going to take that Motherboard, PSU, Monitor, KB/M combo and sell it for some profit on some website.

I like Best Buy's system, feels like I have an actual shot (and I did get my 5950X through best buy) with the clicking to buy, click again when the buy button turns yellow again, then enter a confirmation code through email. It's frustrating that amazon hasn't tried anything, they could do something with the lightning deal system to better handle it. I realize they just want to sell the cards, but it's the same reason they limit item amounts to any one person on a black friday deal, it's better to sell an item to multiple customers than have one customer get ten, in terms of numbers of customers.
