Man, I really miss EVGA. Back in 2020, their GPU queue system was honestly one of the best things to come out of the RTX 30-series madness. Instead of battling scalpers and bots every drop, you just signed up, got in line, and waited your turn. No stress, no constant refreshing, no getting cart-jacked in 0.2 seconds.

They’d send you an email when your card was ready, and you had like 8 hours to buy it—plenty of time. Plus, they actually limited it to one per account, so scalpers couldn’t just scoop everything up. It wasn’t perfect (the wait times were still brutal), but compared to the chaos everywhere else, it felt fair.

Now that EVGA is out of the GPU game, I can’t help but miss how they did things. No other company really does it like that anymore.
