GPU Market: Situation Improving – EVGA Abolishes Queue System
In response to more and more affordable graphics cards becoming available, EVGA has decided to disable its queuing system and go back to open sale. Nevertheless, many gamers who have not yet bought a new graphics card prefer to wait for falling prices or the new generations of AMD and Nvidia. Read more about this below.
EVGA is an Nvidia exclusive manufacturer of graphics cards and is often recommended when buying a new pixel accelerator due to its long warranty periods and good customer service. During the chip shortage, the company introduced or used several systems that should make it easier for gamers to be able to buy a graphics card as well. One of these is the well-known Stepup, where you could buy an EVGA graphics card and upgrade it to a larger model by paying the difference.

Another such tool was the queue, where gamers could register for their desired graphics card model, and then, when it was their turn, would be given a 24-hour window to purchase the graphics card at EVGA’s MSRP. However, due to recent developments, EVGA has now adopted this system and would like to reopen sales.
Due to a lot of new inventory and little or no demand from the miners, who have swept the market empty to date, EVGA has even increased the purchase limit, which was long at a single graphics card per household, to two graphics cards and still reserves the right to change it to use for specific products. Now the manufacturer has to try to sell as many RTX 3000 graphics cards as possible before switching to Ada Lovelace. However, many gamers have followed the graphics card market closely and are currently preferring to wait for further falling prices or AMD’s or Nvidia’s next generation of graphics cards.
