If you receive such a notification via email, of course there's no need to panic – you can simply head over to EVGA's store and buy the graphics card you were after, anyway, as the reason for ditching the queue is that the company now has stock on-hand.It seems a fair assumption that other models will be dropped from the queuing system, although EVGA hasn't said as much yet – and in the email Tom's received, the firm noted that the queue scheme would remain in place for "high demand products".Analysis The good news just keeps on coming with GPUsThis is yet another sign that Nvidia RTX 3000 stock is recovering with some speed now, which is obviously good news for gamers looking to pick up an Ampere GPU.Indeed, we've heard on the grapevine that Nvidia may even delay announcing its RTX 4000 graphics cards to give RTX 3000 stock a chance to be sold off, potentially anticipating that there could be a surplus of uncleared inventory, which wouldn't be good if folks start to pause their buying ambitions to wait for next-gen GPUs (after seeing them revealed).
