I join Whippyice. I ordered the same on cu https://www.computeruniverse.net/ru/evga-geforce-rtx3080-ultra-ftw3-10-gb-oc-enthusiast-grafikkarte
But I'm more than sure there will be video cards with new capacitors. Why would you knowingly send a bad product that will be returned ..

Yeah im sure your right i've always had faith in evga ever since my 8800gt
im not even especially interested in messing about with the clocks, from what i can tell from the statement and the conversations going on its ok to wait on the pre order to arrive,

but this is the first time i've actually got a card at launch and this happens, just made me do a double take you know ?

cool stay the corse then,

If Nvidia uses 4+2 on their card why haven't EVGA cards got the same throughout the range?

This.
 
This tells me, that the amount of MLCC capacitors are used as a tool to artificially bottleneck these cards. There's a clear evidence that capacitors have something to do with stability, since AIB's took the initiative.

Yeah it feels like there might be more going on with all 3080s than just the number/quality of the capacitors. While this appears to be one candidate for potential problems, it's clear that there might be more as others are finding with crashes still on those that have an adequate quantity of mlccs. (FE and TUF)
 
But then, that appears to come with the territory on this next round of bleeding edge GPUs. GN noted that the 3080s they tested are pushing the limit of what the spec will allow, and they're showing marginal increases when OC'd. I think the general message here is that the natural speed that comes with the startup boost and higher frequencies is also pushing the limits a little more than Nvidia expected. Diversifying the capacitors helps to mitigate the issue, but it's still there when you push too hard.

Thank goodness for EVGA proactive approach to their products, Thank You Jacob

Can you cite your references for this? Not that I'm knocking you or wildly defending EVGA's fix, I just want to know objectively what's going on before I try to spend $800. (lmao, yeah right, I've been trying since launch and all that happens is their website crashes.)

If you look at the Black 3080 and 3090  the only ones that do not have a picture of the back... Hmm, I wonder what that means.
 

 
Edit: you cant post links?

gutcheck
And this is why I love EVGA. I’ll wait patiently for my 3090... but if you guys wanna send me one.....

So, EVGA GeForce RTX3080 Ultra FTW3 10 GB OC Enthusiast will only have MLCC ?

Photoshopped? Jk great job!
