Nvidia RTX 2080 Ti graphics cards are dying on a lot of users

Yeah but it met the AMP requirement for the card.

See people shy from buying a large PSU because they think its going to pull 1000w. Just because the PSU has the ability to pull 1000w doesn't mean the system will pull 1000w.

The usuall suspects:

1.) They OC'd past what they should have. This is probably the majority of the failures. They pushed the card too far and killed it. I've seen this time and time again.

How could they possibly do that? Nvidia has such stringent limits on voltage and power limits that it's basically impossible to accidentally kill your card by overclocking it.

We've seen the likes of the youtubers do it, volt mods, "special bios's" etc. Even just overclocking and being within limits can cause something to go wrong. Its not like every GPU is the same.

5.) Lemon from the factory ( I've had this happened too me ).

I'm going to have to go with this one here. The reason is because when I got my first 1080ti from EVGA I had to return 2 units.

The first one went back because the blower fan was stuck at 100%.

The second went back for artifacting and what appeared to be bad ram or a bad solder on the card. Didn't open it up to see. The EVGA rep said that they were having higher returns on the Nvidia cards for whatever manufacturing reasons. Most ram issues were looking to be bad solders on the PCB.

I don't know if something has changed with manufacturing or if I'm just the unluckiest MFer alive but returning 2 brand spanking new units made me wonder. The EVGA rep guy was acting like it was business as usual. He told me that I wasn't the worst case that he had seen. One unlucky dude got 4 bad cards in a row. :nuts:

no wonder there are so few custom cards out they are using all the GPU's for RMA's on stock NV cards


or are they putting the bad solder cards back in the easy bake oven again ? :bleh:

No idea. Once they left my house they were EVGA's problem.

Chances are that they re-soldered the bad ram one and used it as an RMA replacement.

Don't know what they could have done with the one with the fan on 100%.

memories of bumpgate :hmm:


………..

as for EVGA why so few 2080 ti reviews ?

can't find one full review of the rtx 2080 ti ftw3 :nuts:
temps, fan noise and so on
 
One of these cheap ass reviewers need to leak these DLSS/RTX demos.

I can understand no public release for RTX demos since that hinges on Windows 10 update 1809 which is currently suspended, but DLSS doesn't depend on that. I would have expected some DLSS demos to be released, like the FFV demo the reviewers had access to since September. Or some games to have DLSS support by now.
 
Hardware unboxed claim their RTx card was defective too. At least that’s the title of their latest video which I have yet to see.

Tomb raider patch 5 (or whatever out) and still no RTX/DLSS. Go figure.
