Jesus, now there is a queue to order from the evga store... I wonder which email will I get first, the step up or to buy one outright... I wonder if I could resist the temptation to buy one full price if the one to buy gets first lol....
Considering I'm the last person on the Step Up list (as of the time of this post), but that I set a notification early on for the card I'm eyeing, this may be a real possibility. I didn't actually expect there to be "thousands" of cards arriving this month as Jacob said, I expected more than a handful a week!
With all the people buying cards to get into the step-up line I'm really not sure. Since notification queue for retail orders is working the way it is. It all depends on when you pressed that notification button. I'm tempted to say you might get a retail notification sooner... I don't know entirely how EVGA works but based on some of the retail I worked in... it's just how I see it.
They could have had thousands of cards. There isn't really any clear indication of how many go to step-up. Beyond the fact there were multiple shipments to retailers last week versus one step-up pass. The indication from Jacob seemed to pretty clearly say the next step-up phase would be next week (again). Yet also again... multiple shipments to retailers this week and I think he indicated some stock on the EVGA front sometime this week.
So my assumption is there are more cards moving through retail by far than going to step-up. Which honestly makes sense if you think about it.
