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

I wouldn't feel jealous of the guys gaming at 4K. They've dug their own hole by trying to game at a bleeding edge resolution. Notice how they're bragging about running at 60 fps... $1300 to run at 60 fps. :hmm: A bunch of 60 fps peasants. :p

Personally, I hope to never run at 60 fps again. ;)

Just stick to 1080P (maybe even 1440P) and you have no need for a super high end card.

I don't even have a 4K monitor yet (My monitor is old trash :lol:) This rig is mainly to help feed my Vive Pro addiction. :cool:

You gays are BETA testing the hardware...

they are almost all FE's or reference PCB's with someone else's cooler going bad

NVidia screwed the pooch on that PCB .
and I see people talking class action on NV's own site :lol:


but yes I am worried even about the Strix also as it could the GPU or anything at this point
it took them years to admit to bumpgate

and they are not being very forthright about this
 
I would like to see a list of serial numbers for the affected cards. Either way, I got mine from a b&m with 45 days to test it so I'm good. I'm also not having issues with temps on my card even when overclocked.

He overclocked his card and paid the price. He won't say how much he overclocked or if he fiddled with power/voltage (which he probably did). He overclocked it to the point of artifacting, played like that for 2 hours and felt it wasn't worth the trade-off, and now he's complaining his card died.:lol:

Newer NV cards have a power limit and encrypted BIOS that prevents you from jamming enough power into the core to damage it. Unless he modified his board with a shunt mod or something there should be no way to kill it with the software OC sliders.

Agreed. From what we've seen thus far it's an NV issue that seems to affect FE cards and the like more.
 
Core is one thing, display noise tend to be memory related. Core probably can take alot of beating, unlike the GDDR which might not be that well protected.

Edit: might not be related to 20-series, but so far for me anyway permanently damaging the memory has been far easier than damaging the core.
