Notify never sent.

They stopped sending them for 3080 cards for now? It's been months...its a mistake?

3897 Queue is on 9/19.  You have awhile to wait yet.  Sorry I don't have better news.

This is probably stupid, but I don't suppose anyone might know when a person would get their 10G-P5-3883-KR RTX 3080 put in the queue on January 3, 2021?  I won't pay $1000 for a $740 card I believe it is. I'm just looking for a time frame. This month, 3 months, 6+? I'm not gonna wait that long, but is Nvidia going to release a 4000 series btw, because if they are, uh, I'll just wait for that. Already waited 3 months to get a card.

4000-series cards won't come out until late 2022 - the 3000-series refresh will be out sometime between July & October this year, if they do one, and it'll likely only be a 3080 Ti & a 3070 Super, which will probably make the 3080 disappear, they'll use 3080 lower tier dies for the 3070 Super, and dies that weren't quite good enough to go in a 3090 for the 3080 Ti.  
 
This is complete speculation on my part, but it tracks with what NVidia did with the 2000-series.

Literally owning almost any piece of hardware from eVGA that's decently high end & made in the last few years also gets you Elite Membership, I believe.
 
I would avoid spamming the forums, it's a good way to get banned :-P There are threads in the General Discussion section that you can spam away in & not get in trouble as easily though, just don't over do it.

I just found out I was eligible for the Elite membership... got a discount coupon that will prolly go to waste since there are no cards in stock
