AWK16
EVGA is losing its value since all this issues happening. At least here in Canada either at Canada Computers they have ton of them in stock or no one even bother and Newegg price went from $2,499 to $2,900 for 3090FTW and no one is grabbing.
EVGA will have hard time recovering from this fiasco

What has this got to do with this to his problem?

Nothing Genius

The trolls are out in force this weekend.

For a card that was just “slapped together”, it seems to be doing pretty well setting records in Timespy and Port Royal.

Don't take my word for it the proff is in the pudding and it seems there not much pudding there to start with, yes normally evga goes all out with the FTW this time around doesn't seem to be the case.

I’m literally not taking your word for it, I’m taking Timespy and PR results, plus my own experience with the card that I own...

AWK16
EVGA 3000 series cards losing to competitors now. I work with big crowd of guys that use their cards for gaming and professional work and they were desperately waiting for EVGA GPU's, now after seen so many cards death, # of RMAs and cards still dying and good amount of them still have issues here and there 90% of these guys turned to either Asus or MSi, more towards Asus. 
 
At least here in Canada, either Canada Computers or Newegg  there is no interest from people and I can see for days and week the inventory remains the same, ton of them in stock.
 
EVGA will have hard time recovering from this, word spreads quickly and sticks for a long time.
 

Just like many brands, they are sitting because they’re 3090s and are overpriced, not because they’re evga.

Because AMD cards and other companies cards don't 'die'....*rolls eyes*
 
More chances for others to own eVGA cards if you leave the brand...(have fun with RMAs at other companies there....)

I have no idea what your post means or why you quoted me.

From what i understand, both Asus TUF and Asus Strix 3080's use 6 MLCC's vs EVGA's 2 MLCC's + 4 SP-CAPS. Asus ones are gonna be better at overclocking because MLCC's work better at higher frequencies, as far as i'm aware.

ROFLMAO... another clown. if those people are having to take the cards apart and put them back together with appropriately applied thermal paste etc. or other modifications... I'd say those test results are moot at best, and falsified at worst. Reminds me of the Focus RS fanboys who touted track performance of their cars, after having to spend $4,000 on a rear diff oil-cooler system because the stock rear drive would overheat forcing them off the track. SUMMARY = if the cards require modification out of the box to perform up to spec, they're trash.

None of your 2 latest threads are even helping with his problem or even contributing period but just bashing a card you don't even own. By looking at the case he has with 6 fans blowing in and only 3 fans as exhaust as he says but I googled his case he uses and how can he even have fans blowing from the side of the case when it has no fan mounts at all. 3 fans pulling air out isn't even enough with 6 fans blowing in as it isn't taking enough air out of the case to even cool the card period. This is the case he has as per his post he made. This is he said in posting of his fans configuration. [My case is a Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL. I have 3 Noctua P12 120mm fans as bottom in-takes, providing fresh air to the GPU. I have 3 Arctic F12 120mm on the side as an intake to provide the case with fresh air. I have a 360mm radiator up top as an exhaust, to help exhaust air, and a 120mm Noctua P12 as a rear exhaust.]

Just because I disagree with other peoples assessments doesn't mean I'm not contributing; it means I disagree, people on here (and in general) need to learn how to cope with differential opinions. The 3000 series has issues, and most of it related to providing clean power to the GPU. Until consumers start speaking up about these things, they won't be corrected. Furthermore, the two (2) people I responded to were attacking the OP, when he had valid points on the quality of EVGA cards being built. He also referenced the ASUS card that he used, yet conveniently YOU (and others) don't address that fact, not in any meaningful way. So you deflect to case fans, the case itself, and other obfuscation to misdirect the conversation and pitch it back to the OP.
 
You are correct, I do NOT own a 3000 series card, but I've been building computers long enough, and it doesn't take a mental giant to realize THESE CARDS HAVE ISSUES! They were rushed to the marketplace, and consumers are paying the price. If you disagree, so be it, establish a logical response and we can discuss.

The number of crib deaths is astonishing.  Normally, we could say something like "But, only the people with problems post. People who are happy with their cards don't say anything.  So, it seems like a majority have issues, but we are only seeing a small sample compared to the total out there.  In actuality, most are working well."
But, that logic doesn't work very well this generation since the total number in circulation is low.  It seems like an astonishing percent are having issues.  We know that the silicon isn't the best quality.  We know that NIVIDIA rushed the release and screwed the AIB partners out of a proper amount of time to refine their product.
[sarcasm]Everything is fine.[/sarcasm]

I personally had 1x 3090FTW died on me 15 min. into use, my nephew had 3x 3090FTW died on him one RMA after another and so many people suggested if 3 cards died on him it must be his hardware, really!  so when he purchased Strix 3090 all of the sudden everything worked perfectly straight from the box.  EVGA cards undoubtedly have issues.......period.
 
How many of the issues are reported we don't know. Yes, you will have many happy users who still have rock solid card, but the ratio is quite high towards more problematic cards ten good, heck you still have people posting e.g. constantly crashing, red light of death with sparks by 8pin connector, sleep issues, black screen and lost signal and all these have nothing to do with either PSU, drivers or PX1, Its solely related the cards themselves.
 
I am well aware that this has not much to do with the org.  post issue, bu, it is branching out to overall cheep build and components choice on EVGA part, which leads to OC potential and it does links in small part to the org. post.
 

Dang man. My 3080 FTW3 Ultra is pretty great. With no OC at all I hit 1980+ easy and doesn't budge. Temps are in the low 60's with fan speed at only 50-60% which is basically 100% quiet to me. If I cared I'm sure I could easily get it to 2100+ with still reasonable temps.

Your first card just won the silicon lottery more then your ftw card.

Silicon lottery is the most important thing.
The best chip on a reference pcb will out do the worst chip on the best and most fancy pcb.

Then power and temps come as second place.
If you can feed enough power and keep a bad chip cool enough it will clock as high as a good chip. It will just take more power to do the same which outputs more heat.

Yeah but I want that RGB and it's only $160 to step up. Can just RMA if it's defective. Willing to gamble that by the time I get the StepUp email, EVGA will have sorted their **** and the FTW3 will be even better than my XC3 Ultra.
 
And I just played Cold War multiplayer and had 53C as my average temp. Could not figure out why....considering the single player was like 70c temps.

Of course I used DDU in Safe Mode, and then restarted and installed.

Bigger issue right now.
 
My audio keeps dipping out. I use NVIDIA HDMI Audio linked to a Receiver for my speakers. Randomly, it'll cut out. It will "drop" for like 0.5s, then return, up to 1s sometimes. I can watch a video and go 5+ minutes without it happening, or have it just happen every 5-10s. I've looked in Event Viewer, nothing. I googled and saw a few people with similar issues on the latest series of drivers - but I find it odd that on my TUF and 1080 Ti those audio issues don't happen. So it can't be the drivers.
 
I tried re-seating the card, as well as messing with the HDMI cables. Nothing. Regardless of the cards other problems, I might have a busted HDMI port and need to #RMA it. Disappointing. I'm going to try and re-seat it again and clean all the contacts, as well as the contacts of the HDMI port using 99% Iso to ensure a clean connection. Lastly, I'll try another HDMI cable...but I mean this one worked just find with my previous cards, so I struggle to imagine what has happened now.
 
I could've dealt with the high temps and noise by tweaking the curves abit more, but having my audio not working properly is a bummer. I somehow managed to get like 100 EVGA bucks by people using my link to buy stuff, and those Hybrid kits are like 108$...so I figured I might as well give that a shot if the Hybrids turn out well.  I can't use EVGA bucks for the Extended Warranty or RMA process. They don't expire so I could horde them I guess for a future series; but I read they can't be used for new and in demand items anyways.

Because no Receivers use Displayport?  As for a cable, it's a HDMI cable from Monoprice. They're good. Been using them for many, many years.

It's plugged directly into the GPU.

It's a good cable. As I said, with my TUF or 1080 Ti Auros, these issues don't happen.

...Wow, you're pretty ignorant here.  You don't know about Monoprice, and you think it's "not up to spec", for simple HDMI Audio transmission. I'd be happy if you're done here. As said, it works fine on other 3080's...which use the same exact HDMI ports the EVGA does. Clearly it's just a defective port.
 
 
Lmao. "4$ cable"
 
It's ****ing Monoprice. Jesus, really showing your ignorance. You probably bought those 30$ Insignia cables at BestBuy all the time.
