I've been waiting since 10/6/2020 for a notification to order a 3897.
 
Is this just pointless at this point? I'm really, really f-in sick of this crap. Why would EVGA advertise a queue system that it didn't plan on using?

You're at least waiting for a card that's actually moving, there are plenty that are still stuck on launch day.

I just spoke with an acquaintance  who is an importer.
 
He says that there are many ships backed up at the Port of Los Angeles awaiting unloading. The backlog is due to the fact that manpower at the docks has been reduced due to COVID-19.
 
Hopefully, many of those ships have EVGA cards (and other brands of GPUs, CPUs, and gaming consoles) on board. If so, Jacob's prediction that card availability will improve in the next couple of weeks may be correct.

Yep, there is a Wall St. Journal article from February 8 that discusses it. The number of ships waiting started to jump last June, due to COVID and there being more inbound ships than usual. If you Google "WSJ shipping companies look at sailing away from choked southern california gateways" it should be right there at the top. I don't know if the slowdown has been even worse over the past couple of weeks since the article was written, but it would explain why there hasn't been much queue movement this month.

It only goes out during business hours (usually around 9am or 10am PST)

Thanks.

Good Luck Everybody Welcome to Monday!

We get that you’re frustrated, mate. A LOT of us are right there along with you. The way I see it, the queue isn’t moving as quickly as desired, but in the end, it’s just a backup system. None of the other companies are doing it and you are still able to look elsewhere. You can try for a card as if you weren’t in the queue and eventually if you can’t find one, you’ll be able to buy one from EVGA. So as frustrating as it is, it’s at least better than nothing, in my opinion.

For some of us, this queue may be the ONLY way to realisticly get an MSRP priced 3080. Seems they are fewer and fewer available to the general public as they are scarfed up by miners in seconds when found in the wild.

Positive thoughts y’alls way today for some movement 😁

And many have Notify in Sept.
Looking at dead SKUs that never move.


It is not good, but better than most others.

Can you tell us which SKUs you are registered for? I'm going to assume you only got in the queue for some of them, because the 3665 is already on to 12/8/2020. Could you give us some more info? Although likely, it'll be next to impossible to predict when your number will be called for you.
