Charging 1500 dollars for a 3080 isn't going to bother the scalpers either. It is impossible to get the video card you want unless you are willing to pay 3 times the cost. It is impossible to get a video card if you need one. But neither is their queue offering a fair shake. If a store during Black Friday has a queue. Where as considerate people who are looking just to get 1 video card with in their means gets ****ed over for only signing up to a single queue. The only way the queue has enabled people to get multiple cards is because they have signed up onto every single queue with no intention of buying all of them. I have zero hope for EVGA to get their act in order and actually support their queue. They don't inform their customers or make manufacturing numbers available to be an informed buyer. They don't do anything to actually support their future customer base. They don't do anything to help customers get video cards. They don't come in here to read the forums. If people had known that they were going to disregard manufacturing specific models then they could of made different choices regarding the video cards. It was a bandaid to stem the tide of emails they got regarding stock and the fact that the bot networks spammed their sales server into oblivion. More than likely the same die's get used for the 3090's. The queue is more likely going to be shut down and discarded than it will be fulfilled. Maybe if EVGA provided more visibility as to how long you need to wait, that'd be better.įire-Soul I'm in queue for the 3080 FTW3 Ultra. Yeah, you probably should not count on the queue if you are in desperate need for a card but in this environment I don't know what you expect. You are basically in competition with EVGA's retail channel. The queue is an add-on, a nice to have since the rest of the other GPU manufacturers have basically abandoned their direct to consumer sales channel. I am pretty sure they have commitments to all of their retail partners. By then, they will of released other models.įire-Soul undecided65 Umm, other manufacturers don't even have queues so how can you say that? That means I'm looking at more than 3 years to get an offer to buy a 3080. I'm more than 3 weeks out from that place. To show for that, I have a spot in the queue and they have barely moved 3 days in orders over 6 months. Pointed every one of my friends and family towards EVGA.
Me personally, I have been a hardcore EVGA fan for many years. Many of us have been sitting in the queue waiting, for months, with almost no movement to speak of. You can not rely on the queue to move and to obtain stock. Because if we did, then they would be working their butts off to put video cards into the hands of their customers in the queue. Does not mean your position in the queue will ever get a video card offer to purchase. Who then allow bots to buy them all up in a single transaction. While they send out thousands of cards to Amazon, BestBuy, and many other stores. So instead, maybe once a month they might push 10 cards towards the queue.
Because they don't spend any moment of any day actually trying to treat their customers as customers. Because they don't care if you are a scalper or not. "Why am I calling the queue a scam?" Because it is unreliable. How can I say what? I said a lot in there. Undecided65 Umm, other manufacturers don't even have queues so how can you say that?
