Hey guys, I've trimmed down all my notifications to just three left.  I have one more to trim down..  Here's the thing.  I have two 3080 Ultras on the list, and keeping the Ultras is what EVGA reccomends.  However I didn't sign up for them until April 27th, months after the launch date. 
 
Looking at the element35 tracker site it looks like the 3885-KL has hardly moved despite being an Ultra Card, the 3897 is better but I'm still a looooong way off before my annoucement gets here.   That leaves the 3783 which is not an ULTRA card, but my 7:19am timestamp on the 30th is by far the closest to the 6:29am timestamp listed on the element35 tracker site.
 
I'm leaning twards getting of the 3885-KL even if it is an Ultra because it's only moved two days worth of time and I've got months to go -and keep the 3783-KL which isn't an ultra since I'm less than an hour off the timestamp.
 
But as the 3885-KL is an ULTRA card I wanted to get an opinion from the community before I do so

Element35 Gaming Tracker                 Launch Date              TimeStamp
08G-P5-3783-KL    3070 Ti XC3                     6/8/2021       6/30/2021, 6:29:44 AM    08/18/2021    
10G-P5-3885-KL    3080 XC3 ULTRA LHR       9/17/2020      9/19/2020, 6:53:32 AM    08/31/2021
10G-P5-3897-KL    3080 FTW3 ULTRA LHR     9/17/2020     10/7/2020, 5:27:22 AM    10/06/2021   

If it were me, and I might take a gamble and hedge my bets. I would keep my top Ultra choice and the #3783, knowing the #3783 is more of a risk. It all depends on how safe you want to play it. Either way, I wish you the best of luck! 

So approximately when will the queue reopen? I didn't even get a chance to select 1 on the 4th.

just checking to make sure this does not include any step up queues?

Does anyone know if the  3070 Ti XC3 ULTRA GAMING, 08G-P5-3785-KL has a compatible waterblock? Someone elsewhere showed that the FTW3 could be made compatible if you get the aftermarket backplate as well.

Not interested in debate about "worth" of watercooling, just want to know "is it possible with existing waterblocks".

I'm not sure if you will find this helpful or not, but I have been using PCPartPicker.com to build my PC. It checks for compatibility issues. You may want to start there. I have found it to be extremely helpful. However, I'm lucky. Whenever I'm in doubt, I also contact my daughter's significant other to debate one part versus another. He has a degree in Computer Science and has built several PCs. (He also has two brothers, one works for Apple and the other for Microsoft. So I have a wealth of resources in my back pocket, which is giving me the confidence to build my first computer.)  For fun, he recently brought over an old computer and made me tear it completely down and put it back together again. I had a blast, and it was great practice for when I will actually get to put together my build.

It is my understanding that it will not be re-opened until the current queue is cleared, so that date is TBD. You may want to keep a careful watch out on the forums for more information as to when the Supers drop. The queues may open for that possibly-- but again, no known dates at this time.
 
Good luck. I hope you find the card you are looking for!

I have not received a single notification since March. This is normal?

 
Yes, this is very normal. I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but you still have a long wait ahead of you.
 
 
 
Okay, all. This gal is signing out for now. The Forgotten City is calling and I have a mystery to solve.

They said it will be closed until those in it now get their cards.
So maybe 6 months to a year? More? Maybe
 
If a 30xx super is released then there will be an open queue for that I am willing to bet.
Other than that we can only guess.
 
One thing though is with everyone having only two queued items allowed the queue should move faster.
Some were in queues with no intent to buy one anyway.

Great no ETA on queue reopening...Why do I even bother with this crap. You haven't done anything to actually combat bot clicking on the queue so this doesn't really fix much imo

This is great news for everyone.

Thank you so much. I know you can't fix the current issues with the lack of GPUs, but you have certainly taken a massive step forward above all others to give us gamers some light at the end of the tunnel.

Step up queue’s are completely separate from the main queues.

Has anyone suggested EVGA to use Bstock in order to cover the 3060 ti, 3070 and 3080 KR and KL queues?

In discord rooms I keep seeing the same individuals get multiple Bstock 30 series cards when these Bstocks could be covering older queues for individuals.

If Bstock comes with no benefits like warranty or anything then at least give the option for older queues to make that choice to forego warranty for a Bstock to cover their queue.

Last 2 weeks had really big Bstock 30 series drops and quite frankly it just doesn't make any sense that EVGA does not give queues the option for a Bstock 30 series to cover their queue. A lot of gamers would take anything right now, a Bstock is better than nothing.

Can EVGA add an extra check box, some sort of feature to the notify section, or email option so that a person could receive a Bstock for a queue along with these new rules?
