Really hoping that B-stock card is a one off and not a pattern. Get that RMA'd asap and ask for cross shipping since you don't have a card to use in the meantime. 


I mean, could be a card that almost shipped on launch, got fixed, retested, and resealed. They did mention catching the problem before any went out. Could just be the first few out in the wild have this "problem"
Obviously is a concern though, and clarification from Jacob/EVGA is needed before anything.



This could be it.  The Caps on the back are absolutely digusting too.  I will post a picture momentarily.  This is def. a hand solder job vs machine.

For any fellow Canadians in queue: I sent out my original card (2080 Super) via Canada Post this morning and I sent it “ExpressPost”; It cost like 87 dollars (with 800 dollars coverage insurance) gonna take at least 4 days minimum, but i paid for the expedited service for the 3080 so hopefully I get it next week. Super unlucky @NightRaynes :((( i hope you get it fixed ASAP.

Glad I'm not the first in line, lol you think evga would give you fresh production cards for your stepup, meanwhile they their first batch or few batches were caught with the 6 popscap... Best to be 3 to 4 months in and grab a new card with most bugs worked out... Lol

I added a just for fun expected step 2 date calculation to the sheet. 

It calculates the current number of step2s, assuming everyone before the last guy that got it also got theirs. Then divides that by the number of days between 9/17 and whenever the last step 2 was received. That gives us an estimated Step2s/Day. Then it uses that rate to figure out when it thinks each place in line will get theirs. 




Awesome.  Thank you for that.  Is it possible to calculate the Step 2 date without including the weekends?  I don't think they are responding on Saturday and Sunday.  Just a thought.  Much appreciated for creating this.

Thank you for this.  Seems to me your more optimistic then I was.  However I am late feb.. lol still.  I gotta make a list of partner brands and models I am ok with and see what gets to me first I guess.  The list starts with EVGA FTW3 for 80 and 90  for sure.. but.

That doesn't make any sense. Weekends still exist. Based on the small sample of the last 2 batches, it seems they are going to be sending emails on mondays, so the next monday after the "Expected Date" is the bes guess. But it's also still a horrible guess. It assumes the list is a random proportionate  sample of people based on when they signed up, and it assumes they are going to keep releasing cards to step-up at the same rate. Neither of these things is probably true, and both assumptions will probably very wildly. That what it is "Just for fun."

EVGA IMMEDIATELY MADE ME WHOLE AGAIN AND ARE OFFERING FREE ARMA. THIS IS A ONE OFF QC ISSUE, NOT B-STOCK.

This was made clear to me it’s not B-Stock and the capacitors are somewhat normal in their current state.

Daniel from EVGA is 100% making me whole again. EVGA CS comes in strong once again. This appears to be a one off issue.

THANK YOU EVGA
