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

https://www.hardocp.com/article/2018/11/09/geforce_rtx_2080_ti_fails_after_gaming_for_2_hours/

Kyle OC's a 2080Ti, see's artifacting blames Nvidia.... Overclocking isn't guaranteed and can cause problems there Kyle...

I overclocked it the second evening I had it installed just to see what clocks it would actually push. After not being too impressed with the Founders Edition cooler that evening, I set it all back to stock clocks. I maybe used my 2080 Ti FE overclocked for just a couple of hours total under load. I saw increased frames, but I was having some artifacting tradeoff, so it was not worth the effort.

the things have been power locked for years now no mild OC should permanently kill the card .
and surely not in just one or two benchmark test runs

hell evga has a auto oc in precision x1 and NV has been touting the auto overclocking Scanner



if it will kill cards they should have locked out all overclocking .
but I don't know how well a fully locked down card would sell at 1200+

Software OCing shouldn’t be damaging the card in two hours. That seems ridiculous. I highly doubt he pushed it all that far.

You two need to go watch RIP2 videos and see the custom bios' that remove the power limit or volt/shunt modding. Kyle won't say how he did everything. My guess he did it the [H] and got killed it.

You really need to let go of your Kyle hate. :bleh:
 
The card didn't die. The article title is misleading. It might as well say "man plays video game on 2080ti and you'll never believe what happens next"

He's had the card for weeks, he oc'd it to the point of atrifacting and games like that for that day then reset it back to stock. He then kept using it for about another 20 hours worth of gaming over 2 weeks. Now to the day he had the issue, he played "for a few hours" before he got a hard lock and had to reboot. End of story. The card didn't die, it also wasn't after only 2 hours of use that he even had the issue. :nuts:

that does not sound like flashed it or volt/shunt modding or liquid metal mods

and yes I have seen the mods and think they are dumb on a 1200+ buck card

but I will take Kyle at his word that it just died with little mild OC
it's not like the FE's are not dropping like flies in a Raid spray factory
 
Rofl at the lack of reading comprehension here.

THE CARD DID NOT DIE PEOPLE.

The system hard locked and he had to reboot. That's it. No dead card.
 
Wait, why bother writing an article about it then?

Isn't that just normal behavior for a card that is pushed too hard?

raising/removing the power limit also shouldn't damage the card. we've been doing that for the past 3 generations and cards have lasted years. my TITAN XM has ran on a modified power limit that is impossible to reach for years now.

really no excuse for a card to die from that, however as it seems, card isn't dead.

I'm starting to have problems with kyle as well. That article was odd and confusing to the reader. Kinda liking steve at gamers nexus. Really wish kyle would sign the nda and have communication with nvidia for his community and following.

All hail Kyle for not bowing to corpo overlords. Even if the article was **** and I don't like [H]
 
Communication with NV or signing that NDA wouldn't help that article in any way. It was just rushed and poorly written/not edited.

Still tryna encourage the sell out I see :lol:

Also wasn't aware there was an NDA forbidding people from telling the internet their cards were dying :bleh2:

Damn Nvidia you scary.
 
Signing that nda is not being a sell out. What would be if it forced reviewer opinions based on their evaluations and methodologies. Many of the sites that signed the nda were tough on the rtx brand due to pricing and lack.of rtx content. There goes that sell out theory which is utterly ridiculous. Defend Kyle, but his view was more drama than substance and his interpretation was wrong on the nda.

No point in signing an NDA for a card that has already been released :\
