Hi guys!

I did a few pre orders for the RTX 3080 and today I got them:

Now I need to decide which one to keep.
They are quite similar cards, the difference is the EVGA clocks at 1755mhz and Gigabyte at 1800mhz.
Thinking about numbers, makes sense to keep the Gigabyte because it's a bit more powerful, but thinking about the recently problems concerning the capacitors(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x6bUUEEe-X8), the EVGA has 5 POSCAPs + 1 MLCC and the Gigabyte has 6 POSCAPs and no MLCC.

What do you think ? Should I keep the EVGA because of the capacitor problem or should I ignore that and go for the Gigabyte for the clock increase ?
