As the title says is the EVGA rtx 3080 FTW3 ultra a bad gpu and should it be avoided. I just bought one and installed it and just read about the new world problems. Should I return it and go for another brand?
Everything what is going on with new world. People are saying that the evga 3000 series are bad.What makes you think it's a bad GPU ?
They are not well made like the power distribution etc. That’s why they break with new world.What are the people saying about the EVGA 3000 series cards ?
You do see all of those are talking about the 3090 not the 3080.They are not well made like the power distribution etc. That’s why they break with new world.

Some others say some 3080 to and got the same aib/pcb buildYou do see all of those are talking about the 3090 not the 3080.
You know you can lock the FPS so it doesn't run the card as hard as it can right.Some others say some 3080 to and got the same aib/pcb build
Oké than I keep it and I always have it locked on 144fps. That’s not to high right?You know you can lock the FPS so it doesn't run the card as hard as it can right.
It's been a known issue with the Vram on the 3xxx cards running hot.
Gues I keep it locked on 144fps bcs that is my screen max. Maybe somewhere in the software it can be done.From what I saw on YouTube part of the issues were like for example that the menus were allowing cards to run really high FPS. So new world may just need some tweaks to programming. But they did say turning on vsync should help.
With the info that's been relayed so far, this is an Nvidia problem.
I mean, come on, some people trying to push ridiculous numbers on screen these days isn't unusual. The cards should be able to handle such things even though it does make the card use more power.
The hardware is flawed. Factory OCs as well as the choice of components used on the PCB by EVGA and other partners likely exacerbate the issue.
It just looks more telling with EVGA because of how many units they sold to 'gamers' compared to others; miners probably aren't going to speak up about any issues with the cards they acquired.
I've also heard 3080s break - you can bet the 3080Ti isn't immune either.
As for the lower tier cards: maybe? I'm waiting and seeing on those. It's possible they can't be pushed hard enough to make it happen.
Oké thank you for the reply. Then I will keep it and buy the extended warranty.I would argue EVGA is the best brand to get because they actually stand by their warranties and will do right by you. This issue is happening in other brands as well, so it's not an exclusive EVGA issue.
Hmm, you're right, it's not entirely Nvidia's fault.That's actually not quite right, NVIDIA only provides the GPU and reference design and general recommendations how to implement it. It's up to the manufacturers to actually produce the circuits. Now having said that, despite 3090 being in price segment it is, board manufacturers should really bear in mind, most people will not pair those cards with 500 dollar power supply like AX1600i, and power delivery subsystem should reflect that reality
Hmm, you're right, it's not entirely Nvidia's fault.
Maybe Nvidia should've enforced their own specs more strongly, as the quality of the FEs is good, but as I understand it, the cost of the FE design was a slap to partner profits - that's why none of them used it.
Well, not the first time the green guys have screwed over their partners...
