I am planning to order one of the following cards

Palit GeForce RTX 3080 GAMING PRO
PNY GeForce RTX 3080 XLR8 Gaming
Zotac GeForce RTX 3080 AMP Holo
Zotac GeForce RTX 3080 TRINITY OC

I've heard there maybe something going on with the Zotac cards, although i am unsure. Which would be the best to get ?
 
Clearly choosing the less popular with lowest preorder in front. Asus Tuf has reviewed Well and has excellent temps but likely to have thousands of orders already. Out of your list I'd say Palit. Most cards are performing within a couple of frames of each ofher so performance won't be far off and should be available well before Asus MSI etc.
 
I would stick to FE edition personally if you can live with the ugly 12 pin connector. The stock cards have decent cooling looks good and the PCBs are normally slightly overspeed. Maybe hold off until big Navi to land before committing to buying a 3080 unless you need a new GPU ASAP.
 
Seen comments on TUF caps for reviewers card differing from those at first batch retail .

Sure all vendors prob have changed the design since they were first produced a month ago etc .

Depends on when they discovered they had an issue. If they have to change the design then cards have to go through validation and testing, I'm not sure if Asus can get all that done in a month.
