That's the good news.....all of that being said, - apparently there is a very high failure rate for the 3080 & 3090 series cards across ALL vendors, not just EVGA. So disappointing to see this trend...all in all, a very problematic launch for the Nvidia 30XX.
this is why you want to got with a reputable supplier.

Just like AMD R9 280x, they were SUPER problematic, all the batch had major artifact and crash issues.
I had a asus one, and they at first deny the issue. But I sent them at lest 10 reliable article about the issue, no question ask , they sent me a nvidia free of charge.
