Who's excited to sign up for another wait list in a week?

Well it's a good thing EVGA is limiting one card per household, right? Right?

I do not blame EVGA. I blame Nvidia. And MSI. 

Yeah I understand nvidia, but what did MSI do?

This was in October 2020 I think, if memory serves.

Jacob sends out lists of cards that are supposedly to be received that day...., but they never seem to show up on enewt's spreadsheet.  Why the difference between the info from Jacob and the spreadsheet from enewt?

Because it’s up to the person who has received the email notification to report back to this forum. Enewt can only go by on what is reported here.

Jacob is giving us the official drop list and Enewt's list is based on people reporting back.

MUST........... SCALP.

From the looks of it, the 3897 queue will probably need three more drops to knock out the rest of 9/19. There are still launch fumes on that day, especially earlier in the day. Once it gets into the late evening and overnight hours of 9/20 it opens up quite a bit. Those who have a September time stamp don't have too much longer to wait. The question is will everyone with a September time stamp get their card before the prices go up.
 
I copied and pasted the google sheet when problems first started to appear, but it was still 95% intact at that point. You can see where the time stamps are heavily concentrated. So far, it has played out that way in terms of how the queues have been moving. I don't think the data is reliable once it gets into October, so I can't see that far down the road, but September is pretty quiet after 9/19. I bet those dates will fall pretty quickly as long as cards keep dropping.

I think enewt has mentioned he is conservative as well with the estimates just in case there are mistakes. For example, I believe 3755 dropped today and should be up to 3:18 am on 11/5 already. Likewise, 3767 should be up to 6:14 am on 10/30.

Also, funny enough even though I have emails confirming my queue the entries do not actually show under the link for my queue notifications.
 
Hmm maybe something failed and I am not in the queue after all...

 
It's my conspiracy theory. Because they were the quickest to jack their prices up, and jacked them up the to the highest of any MSRPs from AIBs that I know of, my theory is that MSI said, "Don't worry, nvidia, we got this. We'll pay you more than everyone else for the chips, and we'll just charge the most. They'll still sell! We know from personal experience, since we already successfully scalped our own cards with our subsidiary company." 
 
I think they're getting more chips than the other AIBs. I've been following drops on discord for weeks in the microcenter threads, and the vast majority seem to be MSI. I think Asus, EVGA, and others are trying to keep the prices reasonable. MSI doesn't care. MSI cares about MSI.

Pleasant thought of the day if you still don't have the card you're waiting for:
Just think of what a pain in the ass it is for all those RMA folks who have the card, but now have to wait for a replacement....

They set aside an allotment for RMAs. People on EVGA forums with issues have been getting replacements for defective cards long before members of the queue are getting fulfilled. Honestly, that's the way that it should be. We are not guaranteed a sale in a free market on a high demand product, but once we have purchased said product, it comes with a factory guarantee to work (aka warranty).
