The poly caps and the MLCC caps are each good for certain frequency ranges and stored charge but it is important to remember other components and structures are also involved, and these are systems. The range of values and electrolytes/composition means boards that look identical can actually be very different. Once soldered down, about all you can say is it’s a cap and even that can be hard sometimes. MLCC capacitors that small don’t have markings on them either. As was pointed out, there are lots of different kinds of dielectrics and many more capacitance values. It takes proper test equipment to really know. You can’t tell by visual inspection if one arrangement is better than another. They are part of that entire circuit which includes the on-board power supply, many other components, the GPU, and even the circuit board itself. Once you know a manufacturer has addressed the noise issue with MLCC caps, it’s really hard to know which is the better solution, 1 MLCC station, 2, or all the way to 6. I'll be upping my EVGA1070 to an EVGA3080 once the volumes level out without hesitation. And just to clarify, none of this has put me off of an AIB card. But I'm hoping we'll know more in the coming weeks as more testing is done. For all we know the FE and TUF crashing on their side was due to unstable overclocking. I don't know that we have a large enough sample size yet to really know what all the problems are, it's just data at this point. :) Here's the info in question: Sanctuary Sorry, I was actually referencing Sanctuary's post earlier who cited HardwareUnboxed, but I clearly suck at quoting. (lmao, yeah right, I've been trying since launch and all that happens is their website crashes.) (FE and TUF)Ĭan you cite your references for this? Not that I'm knocking you or wildly defending EVGA's fix, I just want to know objectively what's going on before I try to spend $800. While this appears to be one candidate for potential problems, it's clear that there might be more as others are finding with crashes still on those that have an adequate quantity of mlccs. USALion oldcrank Yeah it feels like there might be more going on with all 3080s than just the number/quality of the capacitors.
