Omg, how dense are you.
They said "EVGA admits that the failure of ***some*** of its products was due to a "rare soldering issue,""
You do understand that "some" means "not all"?
It's not the cause for *all failures*, only *some* of them.
Meaning it's not a myth.
You could paraphrase it as "Some, but not all failures are due to a rare soldering issue."
It's almost like you decided on something without paying attention to the actual facts...
do you understand that a company’s marketing statement on a product’s failure is not necessarily a fact?
The same follows for statements claimed by forum members as well... generally used in conjunction with the word 'every' meaning all was one thing or the other.
Have you seen a single post on this forum where someone asked why their 3090 FTW3 failed with the red light problem and an EVGA employee responded with something other than "a rare soldering defect"? EVGA doesn't often respond, but when they do, that is the only response. EVERY time, either in this forum directly, or in the response posted by the user. Provide proof otherwise. ;)
Even EVGA's press release implies that every New World failure was caused by the supposed rare soldering defect. lol
It seems that EVGA upgraded to the Rev 1.0 out of the kindness of its heart, when all it needed to do was fix that illusive undisclosed "rare" soldering defect that may affect any "early" (Rev 0.1) card. lol. Which small batch of cards was it EVGA? Oh, any of the Rev 0.1 cards. They don't know. They can't tell. It's undetectable until it happens. And then you never see it then either, because it is vaporized. lol
It's a real head scratcher! lol
