I did. I kept thinking something was up with my PSU and this thread made me feel more confident. Haven’t heard back yet so will see what happens.

Maybe it’s not the PSU and it’s the card, although there is another thread here somewhere and OP had same issue. EVGA told him this GA psu and some combinations, ie 10900k cause power draw issues. Which sounds like they are aware and won’t fix. They basically said, “it’s a GA which is an entry level psu”. Not cool.

Try to get an upgrade from EVGA (pay the difference).  850w G3 or better.  Avoid the G5 series.

I am going to try, but highly doubt it will be an option. I reached out to Newegg this morning and any chance of exchange was denied. Told me I was beyond my 30 days (at day 40 now). I explained the compatibility issues and that i just wanted to swap for a different model, not return. Didn't matter. Might just buy a 1000w G3 as they are still available in some places.
 
Really frustrated and hoping that EVGA will help me out, but not holding my breathe on this one after seeing the reply another person got stating that there may be some issues with this PSU and chipsets, ie. 10900k. There is no reason why an 850w PSU shouldn't be able to run a 10900k and a 3080. I'm on 7700k and having issues, so I am sure upgrading my CPU this year as planned will only make these issues worse. When I first received this PSU I noticed it had coil whine when running benchmarks. I reached out to EVGA then as well and was told, "Well, the GA is only an entry level PSU". Doesn't give me high confidence they help with this.

I can confirm this is definitely a power supply issue.
 
I had everything dialed in for my 3090 on 1440p. Upgraded to a 4K monitor where average gaming GPU load increased. The result is I am seeing crushes again. This is on a Seasonic Titanium 850Watt PSU. I guess for 3090 you really need a 1000watt and above PSU.

Crashes or shutdowns?
 
And is the PSU the Prime Ti or Prime Ultra Ti, there is a difference.

Shutdown then restart

Yeah, non Ultra, yeah they shut down.
 
Contact Seasonic.

 
 
Known working PSUs.

My Seasonic Prime Ti Ultra 750W (750TR) works with my 3080 and the XOC VBIOS, I fully tested it.
 
Was one of 4 that I personally tested, all different PSUs.
 
HX 850, HXI 850, Prime Ultra Ti 750W and AXI 1600W.
 
Like I said contact Seasonic, they are aware...
 
 

Either call or email, or both.
 
They have very good customer service.
 
And your PSU has a 12 year warranty.

Did they offer you replacement?
 
On one hand I would love to solve this problem. On the other hand, having to go on a few weeks with no PSU would leave me unemployed.

 
I put in a ticket last night do to crashing and restart issues with my 850w GA (I have a 3080 FTW Ultra). I was having issues out the gate and only just realized it was PSU related with the restarts and then finding this thread after having the belief it was my PSU.
 
I won't go into full details because YMMV, but I called EVGA this morning and they resolved my issue for me. Waiting on a replacement which should solve my issues. Love EVGA - best in the business. Seems I was frustrated and stressed out for no reason.

I'm trying to read up on the thread but wanted to add 2 cents.  My issue actually involves a 3080 FE rather than EVGA, but I'm spontaneously rebooting with a Seasonic 1000W Prime Ultra Titanium.  I feel like I should be good here but it reboots itself under load 1-2 times per day at stock speeds under load (Folding).  Underclocking/undervolting helps for sure but doesn't fix it.  Raising the power threshold reboots more frequently.
 
Nvidia has offered to replace the card and I was pointed here by enthusiasts so looking for data mostly.  I think the issue with transients is more general than a specific brand, obviously.
 
I reached out to Seasonic and awaiting response.

Seasonic responded:
 
Your PSU is likely affected by our older models not doing well with high power graphics card's transient loads.
 
Yeah I have the SSR-850TD which seems to be affected.

jankerson
 
Yup... 
 
That's the Older Prime, non Ultra.
 
I still have an old Prime Ti SSR-650TD in one system, it will never see a 3000 series card so I am not worried.
 
The SSR-750TR works fine though, I tested it, that's the Prime Ultra Ti.
 
The new Prime TX's also work fine.
 
Seasonic will take care of you.

More like replace it...
