Rtx 3080 lower quality capacitor Issue

[Gamer_3983]

I wanted to get the evga 3080 xc3 ultra but seems to have some issues and have low power limit due to the power slider not working

Please watch this if you want a better understanding of why we use decoupling capacitors on devices. Best explanation dumbed down so far.

Nice video. He is mentioning reaction performance of capacitors to boost clocks.

Here is by the way a summary of reddit postings

I personally have the 3090 Aorus Master from Gigabyte ordered as one of the first ones but I chickened out here a little and will cancel the order.
Ill go back in the end of the queue of the Aorus Xtreme instead, wait 3 months to receive the card, and hope that every problem is chewed.

I'm hoping for a modded bios so I can increase the power limited on my gigabyte from the standard 340watts. This card will clock well I think with a slight increase.

On this video, he simulates the crash and pointed to voltage changes, up and down. The moment he locks at 1050, crash didn't happen.

You have to love live streaming.

Very interesting.

This guy is saying that to replicate crashing you need to be in lower res like 1080p with high fps

Think oc3D recorded no issues with their 3090/80 gigabyte cards. Recently posted video of the cards teardown . Slightly higher vrm then FE and different caps for vrms etc .

The crash happens to all cards. Some more than others.

So this issue is on the 90's as well ? Is it not on the 70's ?

What a glorious launch this has been for Nvidia, I'm glad I wasn't in any rush for a card and just LOL @ those poor scalpers getting those cards with a poorly designed PCB

Is this happening with founders aswell?

The 3080 Gaming OC has a 360 watt power limit it probably will be as easy as flashing that BIOS in the future. The PCB is more or less identical apart from the missing dual BIOS circuitry.

I've now been running my Palit 3080 gaming (non OC) in games and benchmarks since Thursday - hasn't missed a beat, no crashes - 3d mark score in Port Royal went up 108% - this is everything at stock.
So I don't think the sky is falling - card temps haven't gone above 76c either - the pc as a whole seems to run cooler than it did with my Gigabyte 2070 previously.
If I do encounter anything I'll do as above and lock the voltage - I doubt it would even need the clocks lowered

Gigabyte hasn't made a comment about this yet?

wasn't this only about OC cards that go above 2000MHz?

..or 1.1V?

With this capacitors news looks like the ebay boys will have a bad time

Pretty much the same here. My Palit is running perfectly and I've not seen any reports of them having this issue

Basically explains why Zotac downgraded the power on there cards! They where well aware of the issues....

 

[Joxeon]

Been doing some testing and while my card is fine at stock settings if I force my card to boost over 2080mhz in games it will crash even if I cap frames so it's only pulling 200w.

It's like there is a speed threshold it just can't go beyond.

If any others want to test then cap frames well below what the Gpu will do so the cards not hitting power limits then push up the clocks till it crashes.

I personally think this is a driver/gpu boost issue on Nvidia's part causing the instability. AIBs noticed problems before launch. Some tried to mitigate by limiting power (Zotac) and others with different configurations of caps (EVGA). Neither seems to have fully resolved the issue.

See if you can cap the gpu voltage at like 1.05v or 1.075v at 2080mhz and see if thats stable, might not end up being able to boost that high.
