Look guys I love evga as much as the next guy... Usually solid products, great CS..... But the amount of issues there seems to be with the 3000 series cards (80 and 90) seems a little high, no? Go to the Asus, MSI, gigabyte subs, and there are nowhere near as many issues posted whereas here it seems to be non-stop "3090 red lights" "fan issues" "RMA in progress" "3080 black screen" etc. Even I'm sitting here waiting for my xc3 3080 to go bad lol.Has evga said anything about the seemingly high failure rate and issues the cards are having
 

"can we acknowledge theres big problems with the 3000 series?"
Yes. Seemingly high failure rates (although EVGA disagrees) and poorly implemented features. The broken aux fan header, #3 fan spike issues, and clicking fans are really insulting after the 20xx series.
I said so a year ago.

I'm gonna go with "no" on this one.
 

EVGA stands by its customers. Any defective items caused by any manufacturing defect have been promptly replaced.

while we all agree with that statement,and thats why there are so many people here..both things can be equally true.

Considering I've been in a que system for over a year I'd say there is a huge problem.

I agree, I have used EVGA GPUs for my last four builds and never had an issue until this 3080. I am able to use it by keeping it from being stressed but I also see so many others with issues.
I am sure that EVGA is doing all they can to service those with issues, but I do believe that this series is sub par on reliability. I will wait until the next gen to replace my other older cards and even when the next gen comes out, I will stick with EVGA but I will wait to see how reliable they are instead of buying right away.
Performance and appearance is important and of course there is price/value but to me reliability is key. 

Yeah,

I can see some issues with the way some EVGA implementations of the 30 series were engineered. It is not really just EVGA at fault here. More like a combination of things, with EVGA being the last wheel, thus being the one taking the blame here.

Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to contract the engineering department, to let them know of what can be done to mitigate or even nullify the issues.

So the situation is what it is.

As far the High EVGA failure rate compared to the other companies ,.( Asus , MSI Etc ,. ) you must remember that EVGA outshines them all in N.A sales by quite a substantial percentage , as a result ,... you mathematically see more of the EVGA 3000 series cards than the others ,..this isn't to say that the 3000 series doesn't have it's issues!!

I am not sure if that is true, and I think that is not possible to prove either way.
