Am I the only one who's perfectly happy with EVGA's confidence and just wants to finally buy a 3080 FTW3?

Likewise. There's a reason I've been only buying EVGA video cards pretty much since EVGA started. That's a lot of EVGA upgrades over the years.

In these somewhat uncertain times regarding the crashing problems of the 3080 cards from all manufacturers (although I personally haven't heard of EVGA 3080s crashing) I feel confident in going with EVGA. More now than ever. Why? Well even if EVGA ends up having crashing issues I know with a certainty (Due to history, recent and long term) that EVGA will do all they can to correct anything wrong. They generally go above and beyond as well.
 
The reason above is why I'm 100% sure I'm going with 3080 FTW3 Ultra. I do like the Asus TUF and Strix and yes those are tempting but I feel more confident with EVGA's support than Asus. Both seem like amazing cards though.

Nope. Many feel the same way.
 
My build is all done and waiting for an EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra...

Also, graphics cards crash if you clock them too high. It’s just how it goes. All boards will fail at some level of overclock.

+1  Many people who don't get the OCs they want or passed the advertised speeds will think their GPU is an issue. 

As it stands, there are no issues with the GPUs and each one will OC differently from one another aka silicon lottery.

So absolutely zero (retail ready) EVGA cards are having issues with factory rated boost clocks? Because that would be much better news than what seems to be snowballing out.

Imagine a world with 0% fail rate.  Now, wake up.
 
Just because some fail (or are unstable at factory frequency) doesn't mean that there is a problem.  We EXPECT some to fail or be unstable at factory frequency.  That is the world we live in.

Thanks for clearing this up, lots of information / sensation is floating around the 30xx launch right now.

No, see, when I spend $800 on a product, I expect it to work fine the first time. Thanks.

Still find it odd they used 220uF instead of 470uF, or 2 of each like the FE, for the SP Caps.  Unless the FE used 22uF on the MLCCs and EVGA is using 47uF...would have equal capacitance...but this is the FTW3...would expect better.  Strix looks to be rolling with 47uF for all 60 MLCCs per Buildzoid...giving more capacity with a better component.

 
This ^. Why is eVga using lower spec caps in a FTW board? Yeah they have a 4+2 setup, but I would have felt better if they were higher performance.

Hmm lets see if they can answer this pretty. I find it a interesting question if it matters at all though but still I would like to hear that as well :)
 
Fe has 2 470+220. Ftw 3 seems 4x220 xc3 5x220 but maybe all the smaller ones are bigger on the ftw compared to the fe so if you count them together does it matter at all? There are a whole laods and loads of smaller ones as well behind the gpu just check the pcture. And I do mean loads and loads of them.
And if it has not samish capacitance does it mater at all in real world usage? I am not a capacitance/capicitaor expert at all and I guess most of us aren't :)
 
If you check the forum people seems to have no issues whatssoever using them and oc ect.
 
For people that wanna know what we talk about see this pic
right fe with 2x220+2x470
left ftw3 4x 220

Nah I am quite happy with there recent statement and overall service but people can/may have questions right. That's where this forum is for. I just wanna learn sins I don't really understand the statements from buildzoid regarding higher cap number that''s why I am asking ;)


Still have my pre order open no worries :)

You will have overclock stability issues on the FTW3 Ultra on anything over the advertised boost clock speed of 1815Mhz.
