I feel like EVGA kinda cheaped out. ASUS did things right.

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...

Knew about the issue and delayed their own product launch to fix it before it got to consumers. That is exactly how you build trust...

They did that right for sure.

 honestly, I rather feel safer/better with 6x MLCC than mixed poscaps+mlcc ...

Are you an electrical engineer to understand the need for MLCC?  Serious question as I'd like to know why 6 MLCC would be preferred.  I have very little knowledge of electrical components and their interoperability among other components.  I just know that EVGA tested all their cards and works as intended with GPU Boost (they better as it's Advertised as a feature). 

I asked at IgorsLab regarding this topic:
 
Result/Anwser: "Caps are there on the one hand to filter the high frequency components and on the other hand as a buffer to prevent voltage drops. SP or POS CAPs are more shock-resistant and temperature-stable, but fail because of the high frequencies. The FE's 4 + 2 mix is perfect." (Source IgorsLab Forum)

Interesting. Good info to know. 

Looking at the buildzoid video, it appears that if the Asus cards do in fact use the 47uF MLCCs, then it looks like Asus really went all in and it's a bit disappointing to see EVGA go the hybrid route, at least on their most top end (non-KP) cards...

I think i'll likely still stick with EVGA due to reputation, but Asus is looking super appealing right now, especially that strix.

Thanks for the info.  It'd be interesting to see how the Asus performs then.  Maybe Steve from GN will put it through the paces to find out.

Hardware Unboxed already reviewed it and overclocked it. 2Ghz all day.

See if that semi-link works.  Direct from Igor himself.

I'm glad you guys were able to catch this since Nvidia kept their drivers to themselves until the last minute. Any idea when more 3090 will be in stock??? lol I'm patient-ish. lol
