I'm not even waiting. EVGA's silence on their 3080/3090 base model queues is offensive while they ship brand new Hybrids, and I'll keep raising heck until they address it.  It's up to the consumer to hold companies accountable for their (in)actions.




In a capitalist economy you speak with your wallet.  If you feel EVGA is doing wrong and you want to hold them accountable, then the way you do that is you leave and take your business somewhere else.

What's the status on the 3888? Have any emails gone out for that today?

Can anyone confirm the length the original notify went up for 3888? I saw a couple who were at 9:19 on that day, and thought it was up for 20 mins. If so, they could be at the end of that list and those of us who signed up today may see movement sooner than later.

Congrats to those lucky individuals who got their cards today! My watch continues I'm still at noon before launch day, be ready for full blown tantrum if we get to 90 days / 3 months with no card come 12/16 :)

All I can do is wait, still we cannot blame eVGA for taking advantage of the situation they are going to stick with what the tall bars show. Albeit the thought of jumping ship and getting a card from another brand might have to happen which makes me sad, I've only purchased eVGA cards since 2005, I think the first one I got was a 5200 or 256? I cant remember.




Of course we can, if they don't communicate this to us.  As I've repeatedly said in other comments, I am not opposed to the practice itself, merely their refusal to communicate appropriate expectations to those of us they let sign up for products they had zero intention of making this year.

Normally I'd agree, but when market circumstances restrict you to two GPU makers, many of whom share AIBs producing similar designs and specifications and pricing, then "voting with your wallet" is meaningless since the "option" (in my case) is withdrawing from the market entirely. Nobody else is making 3080 cards in the same size and traditional cooler design as the XC3 other than EVGA.  As I've outlined in other comments, the ASUS TUF are the next nearest in size, but inconsistency in deliverables mean there's a non-zero chance I'd require case modifications to get it to fit.
 
Your only option in a market like this is to speak up loudly and firmly, and hold companies accountable.  Not participating doesn't bring about reform.

Pretty sure you WILL be notified as mine already popped and I signed up at 9:14 this morning.



Nothing yet & I'm hoping it stays that way at least until tomorrow... pretty sure convincing them to give me a 2-3 business days to purchase will be easier than 3-4 :-P lol

Wait, when did those XC3 3070s hit 6:13?

It's the EU list, queues started later.
 
Sorry for the mishap, I have bolded the EU part to avoid further confusion

Would be nice to know what the ETA is on the next 3888 batch if today's drop was clearing out the rest of the November signups, given that they opened up for mass signup this morning. Being Hybrid cards I assume they will not be an everyday resupply.
