Any word on what the 3080/90 Hybrid and 3090 Kingpin will have? They will all have higher ceilings.

Hybrid are usually based on FTW3.  Kingpin, really depends. I'd expect to see a 4/2 personally.

3080/3090 Hybrids will probably just be FTW3's with CLC. Kingpin will be a different beast entirely.

I don't understand how 1 good square in the Ultra is good enough.  The other's with 1 at regular boost speeds are crashing.  And the FTW's have 2 with the same boost.

what about the 3090? are they full MLCC ?

Glad to see such transparent communication from EVGA. Hopefully this puts an end to the rampant speculation around this issue.
 
As some have mentioned, tantalum capacitors (POSCAPs) are not "cheap". EVGA and others aren't "pinching pennies" by populating boards with them. Boards using all ceramic (MLCC) caps here may be better or worse than a design using both types. It may not even matter in this application. Hold off on judgement until there's proof one way or another.

Enjoy your 30 series cards everyone.

So if we put a waterblock on the XC3 cards temps won’t be an issue. Will the 7x1 be an issue then? Is the 3090 different?

U guys knew about this issue weeks, if not months ago...and you are all coming out of the closet now...ONLY BECAUSE OF INDEPENDENT REPORTING. This is not how u build trust...

Agree

Because none of the EVGA retail cards have issues...absolutely no reason whatsoever to make a statement on an unreleased product where the issue was discovered and fixed before release.  

this is absolute nonsense.

the capacitors on the back of the PCB arent the only variable in the power delivery for the cards. you're trying to over simplify a very complicated issue. 

Good to know. Glad I wasn't a beta tester.
