Custom RTX 3080 graphics cards are crashing games en masse

He definitely nailed it here when he predicted that a lot of people with Ampere would experience crashes due to a struggling power supply and/or power delivery, and think the ard was defective. Nvidia got what they paid for. Drivers won't fix this, only a firmware update to decrease the boost frequency curve.

 

he predicted a new card launch with unmature drivers are gonna crashed ? OMG   



what's next?  WATER IS WET?

you have definitive proof it's drivers?

you have proof that it isn't? given not everyone is facing such issue, educated guess would say its the drivers. also why does everyone think moore's law is dead and adoredTV guy a legit source for anything?

you really need to pay attention to the content you're quoting if you're going to quote people, I'm embarrassed for you.

yay lets put 10gb of GDRR6X vs 12 of GDRR6

its not driver, its going to be firmware level issues

It isn't surprising that a new card may have problems, I'm guessing it's a driver issue with certain system configs because not everyone is having problems. Although if it's firmware level issues that would make sense as well because I've heard several reviewers say the AIB's didn't have much time to get their own card designs out.

I think it's driver, cuz studio driver fixes it I think

MLID does the best  reporting possible with the quality of data they use.  The problem is it deals with gossip which is almost the worst quality data there is.   It sounds weird but gossip reporters often do more source vetting and have more rigorous standards than most other types of reporting.  They have to because the data they use is so unusually dirty.  Even after all that though the data they have is often still garbage or worse garbage manipulated by others. I like MLID for maybes and possibles and interesting thoughts, but the cost of having what they have sis there is very very little “is”

Above suggestive that hardware is a contributing factor. I use the term "suggestive" not to diminish the hardware factor, but that there may be multiple things going on here, of which this could be one. That is to say there may be separate driver problems for example.

 

In short, there are smoothing capacitors used on the cards. There are some good ones, and not so good ones. If it can be proved there is some correlation between the reported problems and the capacitor configuration used, that's not a great situation for those with the less good build.

 

There is also suggestion that due to the secrecy leading up to launch, board makers may not have had as much time as they would like to verify the designs and make changes as necessary. If this is the case, then it would be limited to early batches and could be resolved in new cards made going forward. It does mean that cards in the wild now may be affected and have to be dealt with according to normal warranty basis if needed.

Please see this video for those who have RTX 3080 and its crashing under load and in games...

Seems like voltage locking a 3080 "fixes" the problem. Makes sense as GPU Boost is being too aggressive and the larger caps can't filter the noise under rapidly fluctuating conditions.
