Anyone remembers Jacobs tweet about the plentiful stock by mid October? Yeah I do. If AMD focusses Europe over the US I can guarantee you they will win this market since Nvidia does not deliver.

Day 47 of my Day 1 Sept 17 Pre-order:
 
 - EVGA still hasn't setup an EU queue 
 - EVGA still hasn't sent out cards to Amazon EU
 - EVGA continues to send out cards to EU scalper websites which are selling 3080 cards for 950-1400 euros
 - EVGA Twitter guy continues to update his NA customers on a daily basis about restocks but avoids about EU cards
 

While I agree with all that you post, we do have a EU queue since last week. The only issue is that we don’t have any stock so the queue has not started yet.

Same as having no queue my friend. Until people start getting cards from the queue, it doesn't exist.

Me too, I will buy an 6900 XT.

That would be plan B or my own rage mode if it's easier to get than an 6800(xt).

A little while ago, NBB was selling some FE's but they were not shipping them to Belgium/Netherlands, only Germany. They do it with other products but they are treating the 3xxx series differently...
Also, there is a alternate.de but I don't think they sell FE's. I'd focus on AMD instead then. So far, I don't see any way for Belgium to get FE's apart from scalpers.

I was afraid of that. They have a shipping price table with all the Euro zones, but doesn't seem to mean anything. Well in worst case i'll get another refund or maybe won't even get through checkout if i catch another of those moments of stock. Not sure why alternate.de or mindfactory or computeruniverse don't sell FE, maybe they'll expand but time is running out. Also caseking would be fun, selling something at a normal enforced price for once.

Nvidia picked NBB as their official partner for selling FE's in Germany after their own website completly broke down. Don't know why nbb perhaps caseking would have been better but who knows. 2nd drop of fe's on 30.10 was better with a waiting room that prevent the site from completly falling apart xD.

My next gen hunt is over.. today I installed this beauty and have to leave evga for at least 3-5 years. Enjoying witcher 3 well moded and rdr2 on 4k60 was worth it.

Hopefully none of us ever has to go through such a hussle to get a peace of hardware again. Wish all of you best luck to receive what you are looking for. And stay healthy fellas.

Ordered an ASUS Tuf from Amazon yesterday for €769 and received and e-mail tonight with estimated delivery for next week.

Seems I will have to leave EVGA too as their product simply can’t be bought. Jealous at the FE in the post above me. Unfortunately, unless you are German, French or from the United Kingdom you can’t buy an FE card in Europe. (nbb cancels shipments to NL/BE for FE cards)

Sounds like I'm going to be going the ASUS route as well. They announced the new watercooled cards with EKWB, and while stocks are limited across the board, I think at this point I have more faith in them actually having stock in the EU than EVGA.
 
So long, and thanks for the memories, EVGA. I still have my 2 EVGA GTX 580's sitting on a shelf, but I guess it's time to move on. Clearly EVGA's business strategy is to focus on NA so they will already have planned for EU customer loss.

YESSS! Continue to send stock to Scalpernate... unbelievable...

Alternate.de has some EVGA 3080 ultra stock if anyone's willing to bother paying almost 6900XT price :)
 
https://www.alternate.de/...170&query=rtx+3080

Just managed to bought a 3080 FE at 720€ on LDLC. Depending on 6800XT I might retract before 14 days legal delay is done, or not. Any way, it won't be EVGA this time. Good luck to everyone trying to get a card regardless of the model or the brand.

I ordered EVGA 3090 FTW3 Ultra on the day they started listing it in our local (Finnish) authorized EVGA retailer. After waiting few weeks, it started to seem like no EVGA cards are coming EU or only a single digit numbers. So just in case I also ordered Asus 3090 Strix OC on 19.10. Asus card was shipped to me today, so I should have it tomorrow or day after at the latest. Today I also canceled my EVGA order.
 
Our local small dealer has already delivered all the other brands of 3070, 3080 and 3090 cards. For example, so far they have delivered 672 Asus cards alone since they were launched. How many cards so far have they received from EVGA you ask? Answer: Zero, zip, zilch, nada.
Look, I would perfectly understand if EVGA just would say that they'll be focusing on US/Canada market first and will start to deliver to EU in 2021 or something like that. But to promise to deliver and then go radio silent: Lost trust. I don't want to waste my time with unreliable companies like this.

Sry to hear about such a bad experience ... mine was only slightly better but at least gave a chance to evga to show how different they can be from others even here :

I was lucky enough to be able to get a 3090 XC3 Ultra in Europe (france) tho it only lasted a few hours before having to RMA ... Still glad I got it from EVGA since : 
- RMA procedure was pretty well handled and a "no question asked" experience, not sure it would have gone that smooth with others
- Store I got it from (LDLC) have been messing with prices like many others since release day, which means even tho I paid FTW3 Ultra's MSRP for an XC3 Ultra, i'm now entitled to step it up at almost no extra cost, thus beating the scalpers (and it even seems evga decided to fast-track my step-up with my RMA as the registered replacement SKU for my card is now an FTW3 Ultra that I should be receiving this friday :D )
 
So, even tho it definitely feels like EU is not a "prime citizen" to EVGA in many ways (took a month to get my card in the first place, no queue system working, evga direct eu store being a joke ...), their support still makes up for it, even here ;)

No amount of support makes up for invisible cards and there are consumer protection laws in EU to which all companies need to abide by anyway.

not arguing with the cards being hard to get in EU, and I guess evga treats their partners like any company : those who don't usually order large volumes would be served last, meaning even inside EU resellers are seeing different number of cards (german ones seems to have more then uk ones, who also got more then french ones who seem to have more then a lot of other countries) ...
Unfortunately customer protection laws doesn't prevent sellers to fix sale prices higher then manufacturer's MSRP nor do they force anyone to offer a step-up program ... same issue with another brand and same reseller did happen to my cousin on 2080Ti launch and took him another month to get his card back from RMA (after waiting a full month to get it)
Which is exactly where support does make a difference in the end of the day, since appart from the urge to get such a card as early as possible, I'd also rather be able to keep it for a long time, and not have to defend an rma to 15 representatives shall it happen 3 years down the road, when no customer protection laws will force a company with poor support to rma it anymore
 
 

Who needs support when you got a quality product.

Day 49 of my Day 1 Sept 17 Pre-order:
 
 - EVGA haven't sold a single 3080 card on their EU store but are allowing people who ALREADY HAVE A 3080 to "step-up" to a FTW3.  All step up programs should be placed on hold until people who have pending FTW3 pre-orders on other sites are fulfilled.
 - Still no EU queue 
 - EVGA Twitter guy continues to reply to NA customers whilst ignoring all the EU questions
 - EVGA Twitter guy continues to provide frequent updates on restocks for his beloved NA community
 - Amazon EU still haven't received any EVGA cards since launch?
 - Amazon DE cancelled my October 29 Pre-Order (was meant to be delivered by Nov 2) because it received no stock from EVGA.

--------

There’s no spreadsheet for the EU, our position in queue is at 0. No cards are allocated to Europe as far as I know. I know that step-up for EU should have started but that is crawling too.

Probably no need, since only the French - Germany area has actually gotten any of the cards...
0 Evga cards in Finland so far. And apparently the importers aren't even listing the EVGA RTX 3070, at least none of the ones I have checked.

The Dutch have had EVGA 3080 cards as well, as  I've seen several pictures on the fora.It's usually the FTW3 though.
