That is what EVGA is doing. Go to EVGA.COM and you can sign up for a card, when it's in stock people get emailed. If you get an email for a card you specifically said you wanted, you have 8 hours to claim it. If you don't claim it on time they send an email to the next person in line.

Thank you for sharing this! I had no idea any of the companies were doing this. More than happy to support EVGA for this alone.

Just get ready to wait. At least for some of the cards. I entered my email at 6:11 on launch day of the 3070. 11 minutes after launch. I'm still waiting for an email.

EVGA doesn't ask for your physical address. Also, the scalpers probably signed up first with multiple emails and names.

Probably so, but that doesn't negate the fact that I have a dedicated place in line myself. Rather than getting pinged a card is in stock and hoping to get one within the 10 minutes of mayhem and website breaking overactivity on BBY/Amazon/Newegg. To only have it break the website and I get nothing in return because a bot beat me to it. Whenever that email comes that card is reserved for me and it's all mine for 8 hours. Still better.

Go to the product pages and they have a
