Jay doesn't always strike me as the most technical person... is this an accurate description of the 'problem?'

Now I am very interested to know what is the layout for FTW3-non ultras. I hope the case with FTW3-Gaming is not that it's a "flagship" card with a premium price, but with limited clockability because of a type of a capacitors they decided to use.
 
For what I understand MLCC-capacitors would be able to filter different frequencies (like 10nF, 30nF, 100nF, 330nF etc) where POSCAP-capacitors has only one filtering frequency? Obviously they have other pros and cons aswell, but as explained on the video above, this could be the case.
 
Correct me if I'm wrong.

Only time will tell how widespread the issue is.

Jacob from evga said Ultras and none Ultra are not bind but pre tested which leads to say that if a ultra does not pass the test it is sold as a normal FTW3. Would guess that means they are the same boards. 

Dammit, my 3080 FT3 Ultra is all POS CRAPS.... 
 
I am not feeling good about my order right now. This sucks if true.

Post a pic with your username. just to verify. 

Saw the news on this for the 3080s on JayzTwoCents. Looks like the reference uses one MLCC, so you need at least that.  ASUS went all out and did all 6 that way on their TUF and STRIX cards.  Interested to see what the different FTWs end up being.
