Spork3245 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 EVGA confirms Nvidia RTX 3080 card capacitors caused crashes | PC Gamer WWW.PCGAMER.COM Capacitor issues could be contributing to factory-overclocked RTX 3080 card crashing and instability. Seems like EVGA recognized the issue before launch via testing and delayed their pre-OCed cards to put better capacitors on them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW, if you get something like the EVGA FTW Ultra 3080, the difference becomes ~5% on its stock OC. People who actually got a FTW Ultra on ResetEra were able to push another 30-50mhz on the GPU and the difference becomes around 3%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MSI is supposedly good to go too, I forgot to mention them. I think MSI is fine across all boards, whereas EVGA is good for stock speeds on all boards, but if you want to OC you want a FTW, and with ASUS you want the TUF brand ones. Also, of course, the FE from nVidia directly is supposedly fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
