It turns out that the problem was fixed with the capacitors and you can safely buy an EVGA GeForce RTX3080 Ultra FTW3 10 GB OC Enthusiast?

This is why I always buy from EVGA and always will!
 
Been here since forever now and will never stop giving you guys my money.
 
Even with the messed up launches, those of us actual customers / members realize this was not the companies fault at all.

Asus is using all MLCC's for their cards and they sell Tuff at MSRP.    I dont think I am going EVGA anymore. 
I am waiting for now to see what happens with the 3070. Probably gonna get a Tuff version instead of the XC3. I wont get price gouged and they will use better components. 


There's a reason you usually see all MLCC around CPUs yeah.
As for the 3070, I wouldn't hold your hopes up for Asus there since that's a more "entry" range GPU that won't push as high of clock, the current images on the site show no MLCCs, even on the Strix.
But maybe that'll change by time they ship, we'll see. But regardless, I can't see it being an issue with 3070s anyways due to the reduced power delivery needs of GA104 versus the large GA102 chip.

EVGA  You are the best, thanks for the truth.
Europe is computeruniverse and Russia is waiting for your cards, with good conductors as never before.

 I saw a teardown of a Strix 3080 and its all MLCCs

I was replying to your comment about the 3070s. Not sure why you're bringing up 3080. The 3080 from Asus are indeed very nice.

how about on the cheaper base model 3080 and 3090?

It's already been said but all MLCC doesn't necessarily means it's better. It's like eating, you don't eat ONLY fat OR sugar OR protein. You need the 3 of them, but you need them to be well balanced so that they can each be used by your body. Same goes for electronic components, they each have their purpose and using too much or too many of them can cause issues or just not work well between them, same your body would. 

Saying that because they used expensive stuff you'll go there doesn't make sense. They could buy expensive stuff and use it poorly / in a non efficient way. It's not only what you buy but how it's assembled and how components interact with each other that counts.

Example : Buying a Quadro and a Threadripper for gaming because it's more expensive and has more cores (for the threadripper), you'll see that on gaming your results will be very bad compared to way cheaper stuff. Because you need to use stuff in a way that makes sense.

Why does alot of people call the capacitors POSCAP when they are infact not POSCAPs... rather SPCAPS.
 
but anyway good for EVGA to put this message, and seems like that 2 MLCC set is the fix and has no marginal gains against the ASUS TUF with 6 MLCC, but kudos for asus on that.
 
I just think that the 30xx Series are just really specced on the edge out of the box.

Sorry guys, long time EVGA user, first time poster.
a lot of high level converstation going on here, i am not that advanced and will leave that debate to my betters but all i want to know is.

i've had a xc3 on order from overclockers.co.uk for over a week now,
from what i can tell it should be fine still ?
