To be honest I have no idea what they're called but it seemed that was the term being used in the evga bit and matched the bit I was referencing so...... either way I'm on about those '6' things under the gpu core whatever they're called.Originally Posted by Corky34
PCWorld's Brad Chacos has Tweeted out a response about the situation he got from Nvidia, as follows:
"Regarding partner board designs, our partners regularly customize their designs and we work closely with them in the process. The appropriate number of POSCAP vs. MLCC groupings can vary depending on the design and is not necessarily indicative of quality."

Have they not just released new Nvidia drivers that are supposed to have sorted this issue?

Live long and prosper.
It is (mostly), but not because of the reference design...more because they shipped the chips out so close to launch so testing refinements had to be cut short. The reference design is a design to run at reference clocks too (its the bare minimum needed to make a 3080 card)- and every single case I have read about/watched with CTD issues has either a reputable vendor, with a reference design & overclocked card, or a base card from one of the trash vendors like Zotac or Colourful (the latter only from reviewers given it never made it to the shelves afaik). I am sure there is more to is than the capacitors mind.
The AIBs didn't all have enough time to fully test, refine, fix, test and test again their designs. The daft thing is, it really wasn't needed - They could have all only released a standard clock, base reference design at this point, delayed the higher end cards until later this year, and stock would still have gone in an instant.
don't jump on me for asking this question, but please answer if you know a factual answer. Are these caps made in china??
RDNA2 will be an 'underwhelming card' to Jensen but unfortunately sales is what matters.
You'll find that most of these types of components, especially capacitors, are Japanese produced.
What are you getting at with your question?
he's asking where the caps are made, and my assumption is suggesting that quality control can be an issue with products coming from there. And it can. but then it can from anywhere if standards are not enforced. The issue is not component quality vs what it should provide, but that the wrong components have been used. That would be an issue irrespective of where they came from, even if 100% to spec.
This man certainly has larger male reproductive organs than I do, soldering such delicate parts on an expensive GPU. But nevertheless, a good video that goes some way to clean up some truths.
Well that answers the question I was asking myself as to the possibility of people modding their own cards..
Definitely has the minerals.
So it was a combination of caps and driver, but it really does mostly sit with the driver allowing too sharp a spikes in clocks not accounting for capacitor charge.
Which would have been covered in pre release testing if Nvidia had brought out drivers earlier.
it does, it was john carmack's farewell gift he was working on during rage, which then was stored on hard drive giving the game all the issues of texture pop and there isn't enough bandwidth, so id put it in physical RAM as part of my grand idea, and being able to draw 1000 textures per frame on DDR3
being able to do such things is part of open API's of dx12 and vulkan and direct compute
Agreed
maybe if developers would let us use our RAM as well, I mean 64GB ram is not that expensive when the games themself only need 8-16GB
Different kind of ram I'm afraid. Very very different
OOOOOH...That's not making for good advertising, i really wanted the all-singing / all dancing version...! (now, - I dunno)
