GPU prices will trend towards market prices either way. I'd rather them somewhat overshoot MSRP rather than undershoot, which is what happened with the 30-series GPU. It's not fair that scalpers were getting rich while EVGA was operating at a loss.

I am pretty sure EVGA sold directly to miners, likely at a good margin: my day-one EVGA queue was never fullfilled, while miners showed warehouses full of EVGA cards.

Mine was, something like 9 months later. But I got my queue email & had 24 hours to buy. Maybe dig through your emails to see if you just missed it? Or maybe the model you waitlisted on was basically cancelled.

wonder if he's one of the people who clicked the "I don't want to convert my queue to the LHR model, and I'm aware EVGA expects all future production to be LHR so this queue probably will never be fulfilled" button.
