Surely K|ngp|n himself looked at the capacitors and thought, “2 MLCC arrays will be fine... of course on my model, I’ll put the full 6!”

Vince HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO US FTW3 ULTRA OWNERS??

    Hope it comes with 6 MLCCs. It should for the price of $2200.

    The FTW3 Ultra has zero arrays. This is based on the photos on the EVGA product page.
     
    Glad I decided to go with Asus this round!

    Is asus the only manufacturer avoiding this problem right now?

    Surely Vince wouldn't release an inferior Kingpin for public sale?

    I thought I saw a picture with 4 caps and two of the other style like the FE.

    That seems to be the case, yes. Perhaps the FE's are in the clear as well with their 2 MLCC's.

    I've seen actual consumers with FTW3 3080 and 3090 with 4+2. Maybe that's why they had gotten delayed.

    Yeah someone in another thread who owns a 3090 FTW3 said they have 4x/2x. EVGA needs to update their product page photos ASAP if that is true.

    It's looking that way, yep. JayZTwoCents just gave a little twitter update which also seems to corroborate this...

    EVGA really skipping out here. $100 over MSRP and they barely give any high-quality caps...
     
    Maybe they didn't see any real problems in their testing?

    What if I said that one's entire life had been decided by fate? That every single one of your actions, from the minute to the monumental, stemmed not from your own choices, but had already been decided upon? That life being a journey of limitless possibilities was but an illusion, and no matter how fiercely man struggled, he stood at the mercy of a long-established path? The wealthy shall know their riches. The needy shall starve on the streets. The wicked shall be wicked, the righteous just. The beautiful, the hideous, the strong, the frail, the fortunate, the miserable... and finally, the victors and the defeated. What if I said that all such things had been carved into stone eons ago, allowing for no divergence? If so, sinners have nothing to answer for, nor do saints have any true virtue to their name. What if I said that not a single action is carried out of one's own volition, but had been decided long ago? That we are merely adrift in the current of time? Tell me, would yo

    The point was EVGA's product page is incorrect and they should probably update that, it could cost them sales. If Asus' is the same then they should do the same, calm down.
     
    I look at photos in the wild when they are available -- just like the multiple "wild" photos I saw to determine the Asus' 6x MLCC. Now we have people posting pictures of their differing FTW3's since this issue is gaining steam around the community.

    Some cards are crashing. Igor's Lab thinks it's related to the capacitors on the back of the GPU. This blew up into a mess of baseless speculation and people claiming expensive tantalum capacitors are somehow "cheap" and "low quality", which couldn't be further from the truth.

    TL;DR: Explosions of nonsense on the internet. Enjoy your GPU and wait for confirmation.

    what i got from it was the less array caps you have the more electronic noise you have at higher clocks which can Couse instability issues

    Better high frequency noise filtering with an array of smaller value ceramic caps? Yes, that's simply math. Does it matter in this design? That's unproven as of yet.

    False. I received my 3090 FTW3 Ultra today and can confirm it has 2 MLCC. Not on the Strix level, but I'll stay loyal to EVGA.
