I told Evga Jacob on twitter today that i saw on forums that the 750w GA and GT psu's did not work with the 3080 ftw ultra and if it was true. He replied saying both are fine now. So im guessing they released a revised model?
 
Anyone here has bought one lately and can confirm that? Its on sale at amazon and im thinking of purchasing the 750w GA. But im worried lol. Its either that psu or the nzxt c850.

I just bought a 220-GA-0850-RX (b-stock of the 850GA). The listing states, "B-Stock Products are units which may have small scratches, small dents, or noticeable use. B-Stock products are Factory Recertified to meet the performance and reliability of a new product of the same model."
 
Do these have this defect? If they do, I do not wish to purchase the product. I don't care about the rest. I will be using this with an Nvidia GTX 3080 so I need it to work with my AMD 9500x and 3080 combo. 850 watts is overkill for this setup... and I will be disabling the eco mode (NEVER USE THIS MODE...on pretty much anything.)
 
As far as EVGA customer service, they are the best on the planet from my experience so I have no idea what some other guys are talking about... imagine being concerned about getting an upgrade as a replacement?? The way they handled the 3090 recalls was exemplary, and every manufacturer on the planet has issues from time to time.
 
Also, the comment earlier about buying cheap power supplies... I agree, never cheap out on power supplies when it comes to your system. That being said, you DO NOT need the top-end, 1000watt plus power supplies. 80+ bronze would work just fine for my pc....but I would rather have the 850 GA with all jap caps. The 'B' grade power supplies are a fantastic buy for same quality and I have used them many times for my builds with no issues.

There has been no recall, as the issue only affects very specific setups. That said, we did release a revision that fixed the issue and any power supplies being shipped from EVGA, directly, including B-Stock units will be for the revised model.
