How does ASUS guarantee clock stability with the 6 cheap POSCAPs visible in picture 3 instead of the reference spec's 4 POSCAPs and 2 groups of 10 MLCCs which is known to perform better? Especially since this is $150 more than the founder's edition? null

I've seen tear down videos that people have supposedly done on on this card, just google Asus 3080 tear down, its a 5 minute video. In that video I saw the more expensive ones installed on all 6. Fingures crossed this picture here is just a computer generated refernce supplied to Best Buy.

That theory was proven wrong and POSCAP's are more expensive, just cheaper to mount. Has nothing to do with quality of the card or performance as the new driver sorted out the crashing. Not uncommon for new products../cough..AMD.... to have issues when a new lineup is released. Nvidia jumped on it asap and the cards of all configurations are stable. Igor jumped the gun and GN lapped it up.
