No. As I said: Revisions... R1.00 vs R1.01 (both versions, TUF-RTX3080-10G-GAMING and TUF-RTX3080-O10G-GAMING). https://i.imgur.com/uDOEUHa.jpg
So which revision is the good one then ? and what is the EAN or factory code number of that one ? The one I ordered is EAN 4718017909327 Factory code 90YV0FB0-M0NM00
Not only that stock is very low now you should be picky which card to get. Looking at this mess you'be easier to get the rdna2 card which isnt even released yet than this.
Buildzoid basically blames Nvidia, not the board partners for this. According to him, Nvidia sets the design guidelines for the AIBs to follow and must approve them, so ultimately, it is their responsibility for the proper functioning of the end product.
I'me gonne call the store in 2 hours and tell them if it's rev R1.00X I don't want the card and if it is rev R1/01X I want the card they can place a note for me so I'm good to go then man this stuff is stress full tbh Update I had contact with the seller they made a note for me and the guy I spoke allready knew about the situation with the pcb's so that helped
I dont know, man, but he seems a lot more qualified to me than you would be on the issue. Since you havent offered your expert analyses to clarify what the problem may be. Any Joe Blow can say "hey this guys qualified, this guys not, blah, blah.." but they must at least offer their own expert, qualified explanation as a counter-argument to make sense. So... waiting for it.
Yeah I don't know what his background is but whenever GN gets a really technical question about motherboards or gpu's they usually defer the question to him. So if they put that much stock in his opinion, so will I.
Well, either they did cheap out or Nvidia sucks at documentation. Not sure what reference spec says about clock speeds, since they do use settings not meant for that reference design on them cards that crash. AIB partners could have looked at and analyzed the FE design, and they should have tested before sending them out like some actually did and held them cards back to fix the issue. But all this should be in Nvidia's documentation to their AIB partners, so if it isn't Buildzoid stands correct in his claim that Nvidia is to blame.
If anything, the lesson here is don't go cheap if you want to go fast. Blame whoever you want, in my opinion these kind of things should have been caught in AIB testing and QC. If a product has your name on it, you should test it.
