I just found out that FTW3 models are using POSCAP-capacitors instead of MLCC, can someone confirm this?
 
The more deep we are going with this launch, I'm getting stronger feeling that I should pull my order off.

Igor's Lab does an excellent job describing the issue. People are having to downclock their factory overclocked cards. Totally unacceptable.

Sounds it. Makes me pretty wary. I feel like this has to be some kind of mixup or sometihng. No way would all these AIBS screw it up. Apparently pretty much AIB uses POSCAPs, except the Strix.

Steve from GN didn't have to downclock his either...  3090 FTW3 uses 2 MLCC which according to the theory seems fine.  But also for the record a 3080 FTW3 ultra with 6 POSCAPS briefly held the HoF score for Port Royal and LN2 so there's that too...

It says that even the FE cards use POSCAP but they balance it with 2 MLCC. This seems to prevent problems. I think we need to see if EVGA are using ALL POSCAP or simply a mix(which would work fine).
