[SOLVED] Asus tuf 3080 MLCC

[SaarVFX]

Hey

First I would like to apologize for my English grammar mistakes 😊

I saw that Asus said they didn’t use the Poscap capacitors at all on their Nvidia 3080, and only used the MLCC capacitors, but then I saw that the Asus is crashing kind of the same like the other manufactures, so my question is,
Why the Asus RTX 3080 is crashing too, if the common opinion is that it’s for sure a hardware issue causing the crashes (especially the Poscap/MLCC thing) and is it really make Asus 3080 better than the other manufacturers?

Second question is:
I just built a new PC for me, in a high budget In the goal to make it an editing monster, and I didn’t bought a Graphic Card yet because I waited for the RTX 3080 to get out ..
Is it still worth to buying it? I am now have all the components of my new PC but can’t start using it because I still didn’t buy the GPU..

The main purpose of the computer is going to be for heavy 3D modeling and rendering, heavy After Effect use, and heavy compositing on a software like Nuke..
and I will also want it to run the popular games on the best or almost the best settings

Thanks for reading and I would really appreciate any help,
Thank you!

3D modeling is when the 3090 makes sense, if you can afford, but yes, RTX 3080 is a perfectly good investment, see, this POSCAPS x MLCC debacle is still nothing short of speculations, with the release of the latest drivers things seem to have stabilized, still, they probably have relation with the problem, so much so that indeed asus with 6 MLCCs arrays also crash, but things seems to have hit hard less quality cards like zotacs with their 6 POSCAPS, but no one is or was really absutelly safe. Regardless, if the problem was a combination of driver, poscaps, mlccs, manufacturers are changing their design in attempts to solve the issue, MSI for instance was using an array of 5 POSCAPS and 1 MLCC, while NVIDIA uses 4 + 2.... go figure, this will be fixed no doubt, so frankly if you were to go with any ASUS/MSI/EVGA you should be fine, I wouldnt go with gigabyte or palit or zotac simply because I dont trust their overall quality.

There has been some news that some 3rd partys are delaying there cards and getting them fixed also heard about the drivers updates so think its best to paruse getting these gpu until everything is back working because seems to me that they rushed to get these out!

The more this has gone on the more it looks to me like this is not a hardware issue but a lack of testing of peak boost speeds by AIB’s. I’ve seen a review where they changed 2 POSCAPS for MCLL and it made a 30mhz difference. I’ve seen other reviews saying the maximum impact would be 50mhz. The annoying thing is the boost in question only runs for a couple of seconds and is not used 99% of the time, it only seems to exist so 1 card can say it boosts higher than the other in reviews but has no practical improvements in performance. This seems to be the result of AIB’s racing to get the highest boost on paper with a gpu that is very consistent for maxing out at 2000-2100mhz making it very difficult to differentiate cards of different tier levels. I’ve also seen 1 claim but I haven’t seen it mentioned anywhere else or been able to verify it but it said POSCAPS have a lower failure rate which would an interesting point if true.
