Seems that Evga 3080/3090 FTW3 cards are having an increased failure rate.

https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/lh5iii/evga_30803090_ftw3_cards_likely_cause_of_failures/

"In short - the power delivery/VRM on the FTW3 cards likely can't cope with state changes quickly enough (bad transient response) leading to significant voltage overshoot. You can't see voltage overshoot in monitoring software but it will lead to crashes (likely similar to what happened to early cards before Nvidia updated the drivers) and can cause damage to the card. Its likely EVGA will be able to fix this with a BIOS update if they can reprogram the voltage controllers (although they used pretty cheap ones per Buildzoid's PCB analysis)."

I would say maybe avoid them until Evga comes out with a fix but it's not like you can buy any regardless
