Tell us about it!

I think the US queue is into February now,while the EU queue is still in September.

If people keep robbing cards by the truckload, we may be catching up at some point. 😂
Reading the article last night I kept thinking "please not for the EU".

My wait is finally over!

At first I started cussing, then I wondered if this can be right. Where did you see the June 2021 info?
Googling for it I ended up in the Unofficial 3080 NA thread. forums.evga.com/Unofficial-3080-Step-Up-Queue-Thread-NORTH-AMERICA-m3091969.aspx
ending up in the Google Public Responses doc: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTPuUO8HUBfyByDoctOFm1rXdHc9_1UWWohtOJ9f19K7eDGxuIdJAN9driKY_M5DEXF-o2nDHIX18fZ/pubhtml
Last marked as done were on the 15th this month for the 22nd of March 2021. Doesn't make a lot of difference, but at least some. 
 

J.O.O.P
I started the step-up on 25th of jan. Looks like I'll be getting the 4080 instead of 3080.

 
Or they just tell us they can't fill the StepUp queue anymore and we're out of luck. 
At 12.5ish months of waiting time I'm just fatigued and want a working 3080 I signed up for what feels a lifetime ago.
 
At least it's been a teaching moment not to consider the StepUp program to be a vial option again. If customer support goes the same way, brand loyalty will die off.
 
Edit: Can I finally add links? Hmm no, something's broken and not working as intended. 😂

Found it right on the thread you linked. ; )

Quotes are coming from the 3080 US step up thread:

Just got mine
Step 1 - 6/1
Step 2 - 11/16

Bernard17
step 1 - 6/3
step 2 - 11/16

So US customers are really way ahead of us. I registered on October 2nd 2020, and I'm still on step 1.

Abandon all hope, ye who enter here

The more annoying part of it is that we have absolutely no explanation or consideration from evga staff.
At this rate we will really see our cards when the next generation releases by having it ordered the first month it came out... really ridiculous.

I guess it's a matter of perspective. At some point we're going to receive a card that is likely better than what we have, irrespective of what is currently out when we do. I'm pretty confident anything released next year with GPUs is still going to be OOS in seconds and overrun by mining and scalpers galore.
 
What I will definitely say is frustrating, more so for anyone in Europe, is zero communication from EVGA and therefore a lack of confidence in timeframes and/or people even starting to worry they'll just pull the plug randomly.

I finally have my step-up 2/3 !!!(01/10/2020). 
 But but the price seems have increased a lot (947E with taxes)
 

I finally got my stage 2 notification earlier as well! Entered the queue on 1/10/2020

Great to finally see some movement here! Step up registered 1 day after yours and still no update, but I won't hope for anything to come fast as it could anyway take another month or two before next "batch" (should probably say "card" instead...). : )

Meanwhile US step up are some day ahead of us on October... 2021. : P

Has anyone stepping up in the UK Had any problems shipping to Germany? I read a thread where recently somone sent their card to the address provided and there were 4 unsuccessful attempts at delivery, and the poster claimed the address wasn't even an evga building anymore?

The address provided to ship to is
Am Haag 8
82166 Graefelfing
Germany

Incredibly helpful, thank you!

That was the address I used, and I have a friend who just completed got his 3070 step up, and it was also from that address.

Someone here told me that US cards are assembled in US, whereas EU cards are coming from Asia, so that's really two different supply lines (with one that doesn't work, ours!). : )

That would really surprise me. With most things it's apparently considerably cheaper to ship wares half around the world and back instead of manufacturing in the destination country.
Crap I cannot remember the example I was thinking of, the details anyway. It was about fruit harvested in continent 1, shipped to continent 2 to be packaged and handled, then shipped to continent 3 to be sold. The logistics were just mind blowingly insane.
 
I thought with EVGA being a US company they have a heavy priority with the US market and split the stock accordingly.
It really cannot be THAT many cards we're waiting for in the StepUp queue.
 
There are 2 more for the end of September I haven't read about.
October has 18 cards unless I missed something in this thread.
November has 10 cards.
December has 1 card.
January 2021 has 2 cards.
 
Assume only 50% of the people waiting posted in here. They could finish off the 2020 StepUp queue quickly enough and make people happy.
Compared to what they must have shipped out in RMA cards, this feels like a drop in the bucket.
We have been waiting for more than a year. It has to be enough at some point.
