NVIDIA on the Cause of RTX 2080 Series Card Failures

Just another Troll
"NVIDIA has announced that the culprit behind some of the defective early boards for the NVIDIA RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition was limited test escapes. Test escapes refers to the testing of the parts such as resistors, capacitors, etc., that are on the PCB. Sometimes these parts are defective or of marginal quality. By using Big Data Analytics, companies can test, monitor, track, and find bad batches of parts before they enter the final product assembly manufacturing stage. As alluded to by NVIDIA, something was missed along the way and the bad components made it through quality control and into the final product. So, from our understanding of what a "test escape" is, it would seem that NVIDIA is actually owning up to putting bad RTX 2000 series cards into the market. "

That should mean that they would also be able to provide serial number ranges from each manufacturer for the potentially bad cards.
 
Test escapes

:hmm:


I was a Test escapee in school ……..

…… out smoking things and drinking things
and doing other things :evil:


………

good to see they may have locked it down


and as long as Asus didn't have Test escapes also I should be ok
 
Wait, Chinese OEMs use substandard and/or defective components whenever they think they can get away with it? Say it ain't so... :bleh:

1200+ card blowing up got the natives very restless even ones that didn't buy the card
NVidia was starting to see knives and torches and pitchforks outside...…….




......I only had a noose :evil:

Yeah, NV being transparent is certainly a shocker. I'm surprised they didn't make anyone sign an NDA before releasing the info. :bleh:

I wish they had this issue solving attitude when people found out they gimped the 970 and it's 3.5 gb ram.

Oh well 3rd times a charm.

Maybe next time they blow it they'll be even better at telling people and start replacing hardware.

Just curious, have you read the leaked nda?

I’ve read what was released by Kyle regarding the matter and the article TPU released which goes into detail on verbiage. I’m well aware the NDA isn’t as big of a deal as Kyle made it out to be. It’s still funny to rib NV for the extremely poor timing as it followed the quite large GPP controversy.
 
GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Now De-listed on NVIDIA's Online Store

GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Now De-listed on NVIDIA's Online Store

"As we mentioned last week, RTX 2080 Ti GPUs were going missing. AIBs in China were having issues getting hold of any new 2080 Ti GPUs to build more boards, and this has brought RTX 2080 Ti manufacturing to a standstill.

Now the RTX 2080 Ti drama thickens: it seems that NVIDIA has stopped offering the GPU for sale on its official site. While the product page is still up, the part is nowhere to be found on its web store; prospective buyers cannot even sign up for stock notifications. Some say this isn’t peculiar and that the item has always been inconsistently shown on the store, but eTeknix suggests this is a clear sign the 2080 Ti problem is bigger than NVIDIA would like to admit."

:eek:

"Update 18/11/2018 20:29 GMT – A spokesperson from Nvidia has reached out to us to dismiss this story. Stating that the item is simply out of stock. Instead of showing as “out of stock”, the NVIDIA website simply removes the item from the store, which led us to believe that the item had been de-listed. This is false and we apologise for supplying false information. We’ll update again as any information arrises to that fact, or otherwise. "

I still say this is some shady ****. Why remove it when you can make a killing on Backorders??? Nvidia has never done this in the past with any other GPU so it just seems real shady too me.

Turring should never have been released in the state that it has, Nvidia should've taken a que from AMD and waited for 7nm.

I don't know, I'm enjoying mine. Pretty sure everyone else here that has a 20 series card is.

I think something is wrong with the FE PCB.
