I'm ha haw-ing that the scalpers bought all the first cards and they are broken.
fuck them anyway.

Indeed. Sneaker heads with their bots need to understand that tech is much different than shoes. A gpu purchase isn't finished until you fully test it.
Is this a common thing with sneakers?
Yep lots of Supreme and Nike bots and other shit floating out there.

Both from what I'm hearing.do the cards only have issues when overclocking or under regular gaming use as well?
I would assume the sellers could combat this but choose not to?
I don't think they're all broken. Just the cheaper ones that skimped on that went with all cheap caps instead of the more expensive, more durable ones. Still, a little karma and poetic justice is nice and I will sleep a little better tonight knowing that

Isn't it the other way around? What people are toting as "high end" are actually the caps that age, but apparently are needed for these cards in some capacity.Not quite. Most AIBs went with only one high end cap and the others are cheap. EVGA did one on the XC3 before catching it on the FTW and adding a second.
Gigabyte cheaped out on all of them, along with Zotac. Only ASUS went with more than two, FE has two. So only FE and ASUS is safe to buy. EVGA FTW will join them soon. But all others, don't buy.
Two high end caps or better. The single stuff may still degrade over time, potentially failing outside of the warranty period.

Now, even if the card is crippled it will still not be deemed as false advertising from NV or the AiB's in the sense that a user's 3080 is still performing at or above the max core clock. But, this is a fairly ridiculous position when the marketing and reviews demonstrate that normal behavior and normal framerates should come about when the card sustains speeds in the mid to high 1,800MHz range.
There was nothing erroneous about what I said. XC3 has one high-end cap and the FTW will be upgraded to two, exactly what was stated in the link.Isn't it the other way around?

Also for your erroneous EVGA statement: https://forums.evga.com/Message-about-EVGA-GeForce-RTX-3080-POSCAPs-m3095238.aspx
another Nvidia 3.5GB VRAM issue all over again...
They didn't get screwed... they will still sell them to dumb people, and those people will get screwed because most warranties won't transfer. The scalper doesn't care after the sale.I'm ha haw-ing that the scalpers bought all the first cards and they are broken.

MLCCs are cheaper/age more than POSCAPs, and EVGA never shipped out any POSCAP only boards to buyers.There was nothing erroneous about what I said. XC3 has one high-end cap and the FTW will be upgraded to two, exactly what was stated in the link.
Ok, just for you we will use "fleecer" or "swindler".Wishful thinking, people are stupid and demand is too great. Scalpers are still winning. Look at the "completed" sales on eBay, tons are being sold as we speak.
I told a Founders Edition today for $1300 and a EVGA for $1150 Wed evening.
And please, do not use "scalper" it's a derogatory term targeting Native American's. Please use resellers.
Might want to add in "filthy" or "dirty" in front of it - just to get the proper emphasis in.Ok, just for you we will use "fleecer" or "swindler".
I can be on-board with that.Might want to add in "filthy" or "dirty" in front of it - just to get the proper emphasis in.

Nobody knows, but 3080's don't use as much power as the 3090 and they still have issues, so I'm not sure if it's completely a power issue or a frequency/noise issue or some combination. Nvidia has been (un)surprisingly quiet on the issue so nobody really knows what's going on yet. My guess is they'll just lower max boost (extra boost?) and say they were to aggressive in traffic isn't to give you more details hand you paid for, since they are boosting higher than advertised boost clocks anyways. This was a the concern that Nvidia would deliver the FE @ MSRP with almost no quantity, then the cheap cards at or near wouldn't be able to maintain the same speeds, thereby giving Nvidia day 1 benchmarks a good perf/$ metric but not at happy being able to get the same performance for the same price in reality. Time will tell if it was right or wrong, but... The writing on the wall is getting more clear.will this issue effect 3070 cards as well or since they don't use as much power it won't be a problem?
and with no warranty
Depends on who and how you bought it. Some cards have transferable warranties, so if you bought from a 3rd party that's not an official reseller, you're still ok. If you bought one without a transferable warranty (like and FE model or Zotac), unless you purchased from an authorized reseller and not second hand (aka, from a scalper) you may not have a valid warranty if it comes to that. This post was specifically about scalpers, not direct from manufacturer or via authorized retailers.Why is there no warranty all of sudden?

I can't say for sure what they're doing, I haven't ever bought something from a scalper and don't plan to. I'm not sure how the receipts are done (online receipts typically), so I assume the purchaser would have to get in contact with the scalper to ask for a copy of the receipt or something. I'm not really sure, but good question. I also don't know the exact policy for each manufacturer, but I can't assume this is going to screw the scalper like this post was claiming, it's more likely to screw the purchaser.So all you need is the original receipt and you're good right ? Cause let's be serious, cards that are resold aren't "used" (usually BNIB) and pretty sure these scum of the earth, bottom feeding scalper bastards would at least give you the original proof of sale
Invoices usually have the name and address of the buyer. If they don’t match the name and address of the person requesting warranty service, then it’s possible that a company who doesn’t allow warranty transfers could deny coverage.So all you need is the original receipt and you're good right ?

It’s all about the all-mighty dollar.Sure, but I was under the impression that warranties are on products, not owners. I don't see what the justification is to deny warranty just because you aren't the first owner.
Thankfully I live in a place that has something called a Legal warranty which all products sold here have and is transferable
