But the point stands that they probably don't know for sure when more inventory is coming in, which would mean they're just giving worst-case estimates right now.

Puggles Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 According to 3Dmark it's already 185% faster than my 1070 so I'm pretty happy at stock lol. Now I just need Zen 3 to release. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 RTX 3080 Crash to Desktop Problems Likely Connected to AIB-Designed Capacitor Choice WWW.TECHPOWERUP.COM Igor's Lab has posted an interesting investigative article where he advances a possible reason for the recent crash to desktop problems for RTX 3080 owners. For one, Igor mentions how the launch timings were much tighter than usual, with NVIDIA AIB partners having much less time than would be adequa... Under-volting due to shit capacitor design from some AIB (3rd party manufactures) being cheap could be an issue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spork3245 Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 FYI - I'm guessing this is primarily the ZOTAC card which I posted about earlier in this thread. It's undervolted to where the boost clock isn't typically hitting where it's supposed to and is causing 1-3% lower performance compared to the FE, as well as god-awful OC results. If this is true, and the under-volt isn't simply due to the "silicon lottery" and ZOTAC actually changed the capacitor design from the reference board to save a few bucks, they are about to be in a world of shit.

As I think about it (a minute after posting!), if this is what occurred, nVidia should drop ZOTAC as an AIB completely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thedarkstark Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 I prefer nvidia, EVGA, and gigabyte if I have a choice. Zotac is the only one I wouldn't touch, have heard nothing but bad things also this is really petty but the name just sounds dumb. I can't believe the 3090 demand even after reviewers trashed it for the awful marketing and price:performance ratio. It obviously makes sense for some people especially if you use it for work but 200+ people lining up for it is ludicrous, the pandemic has made people quite unreasonable.

Puggles Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Overclocking my Zotac now. It becomes unstable somewhere between +50MHz and +75MHZ for a whopping .9% increase in performance. I think undervolting is going to be the way to go. Also I only went with this card because it was the only one I could get. I plan to return it to Amazon before Oct. 29th.

The under-volting from Zotac is causing crashes even at stock speeds for some people. Zotac really f’d up by messing with the capacitors. No clue what they were thinking.

Unless Zotac does some type of awesome “we’re sorry” compensation, that’s definitely the best move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asus, nVidia, and MSI went above and beyond and should be good to OC. EVGA went to spec and shouldn't crash but might become unstable when OCing.

I think the FTW EVGA cards use better capacitors than the XC3 ones, could be mistaken. I know that’s the case for ASUS with their TUF brand vs their base ones.
