I've been watching the cards coming into stock and it's so beautiful I almost click add to cart every time because I just can't believe it...but I don't need any more cards...so I don't do it.
 
Anyway, while I still pop in to try and help people troubleshoot issues when I can, I hadn't been on this thread as much and I just today realized that the big thread I spent so much time in has been...de-stickied. I'm assuming a great deal of goo-gone was required for that.

In any case, before it is archived or disappears into the "over thirty days" black hole that you have to click special buttons to find it in if you ever want to venture into the past, I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that made this a fun thread even when we were frustrated about wait times, missed queues, spam flags, or running out of marshmallows. Thanks everyone! It gave me something to do when we had some downtime at work during the pandemic. 
 
Cheers folks.

It is awesome to think that we are making our way out of the darkness...and into the 40 series light....
 
It was a great thread.

It was a team effort.

My goodness, I'm from EU and I just received a "step 2/4" notification email for a step-up to 3080 FTW3 Ultra. I registered my 3060 Ti FTW3 Ultra 12/18/2021. However I'm not sure if I will update it anymore because the prices for new products are not that steep anymore, they are abundantly available, and well do I really need a 3080...
 
Also I thought EVGA was a premium brand but 1. EVGA 3060 Ti FTW3 Ultra has a common production fault in the fan noise (that I had to send to RMA twice for them to fix and I'm not sure if it was fixed this time yet as I just got it back, the first time they did nothing but just sent it back) 2. the product package being a wobbly piece of plastic is not adequate for a 500+ EUR product 3. how they are treating the European market destroyed that image for me.

Without the thread we still would have gotten our emails from evga and we still would have gotten our cards at the same time. The thread did nothing to speed up or help in this area.

So after all this time since the queue lock notice in October, people before October have still not been able to get a card?

The thread gave us a crowdsourced sense of progress that EVGA themselves didn't provide, it was a great community effort.  I even compiled the data into spreadsheets for more easy-to-follow graphs.

Yes.  Though each SKU has its own queue, some move faster than others.  My spreadsheet(s) keep track of how much each SKU has moved since it released.  Some of the queues completed and are now in stock, but there are some that are still waiting.  These categories are more likely to be complete and in stock:

• Anything released more recently, such as:
  • 79% (11/14) of Queue 3.0 (2022) cards
  • 80% (8/10) of June 2021 cards (not including the 3080 non-Ti Hydro Coppers, which technically released in June 2021 but had premature signups from Nov/13/2020 honored.  Both finished their queues.)
  • 55% (12/22) of 2020 cards
• Ultra Gaming cards (as opposed to just "Gaming"), particularly 3090s, 3080s and June 2021 cards

The category least likely to be in stock are Gaming SKUs that aren't "Ultra".  Only 40% (4/10) of them completed their queues.  In fact, they include the only June 2021 cards that haven't yet completed their queues (a 3070 Ti and a 3080 Ti).
 
Finally, 5 SKUs have somehow jumped straight from "stuck in 2020" to "in stock".

@DoctorDothraki
Thanks for the reply
I finally noticed the "in stock" checkbox thanks to your post.
So clicked it and I saw that the SKUs that are in stock here in Europe are the...3090 ti ones...(the ones almost nobody buys)
I did saw that on the US site there are a lot more. I guess there is progress that will eventually come to  EU too.

Aw, you just need a US buddy to ship it to you!  That stinks to have to keep waiting just because of shipping shenanigans.
