Question for 3080 Asus Tuf owners

[Haak]

The crashed people have been experiencing with the 3080s might be due to cheaper caps, watch for more context. 

 

The question now is what caps are on what boards. Regarding Asus Tuf there seem to be a mismatch between the pictures on retailer sites and asuses own site/ what we see in videos, thus making it harder to figure out what is correct. 

 

The official asus site have these pictures with the good caps that is not associated with crashes. 

On the retailers site the pictures with the caps that might be causing the problems (keep in mind that the problem has not been confirmed by all AIBs, at least not what is causing it)

So with this miss match between marketing from retailers, asuses own site and the review samples it would be really helpful if the owners of the 3080 tuf could take a picture of the backside of their card to confirm what caps have been used on the cards that went on sale. 

Again. It is not confirmed that this is whats causing the crashed. But with the limited knowledge we have atm it seems to be the most likely.

All of the unboxing videos of the 3080 Tuf that I've seen show it as having all MLCC GPU filtering caps.

I have noticed this as well. However, have you seen unboxings from others than reviewers? It would be nice to get confirmation from actual owners of the cards that went on sale and not just the review samples. With the different pictures some started speculating in whether the reviews got a card with slightly better speccs. I do not believe this to be the case, but it you still be nice to get confirmation from owners.

yeah of course reviewers would get the "good caps"...

 

 

looks like a very undesirable lottery for consumers at this point, probably best to wait for more info or just order and see!

Same for the MSI Ventus
