Not a lot really. They could reduce the clocks but then people aren't getting what they paid for and it's still defective so might get worse over time. They should have used HBM2

Still baffles me why they went for such a restrictive cooler design, it's like they said to hell with component thermals and just made something that looked good instead. If you're gonna go for an axial design then do it right and make sure components under the heatsink can get direct air flow, theres 2 little slots for airflow in the vapour chamber and that's it.
They would have been better off going for a vented aluminium heatsink with heatpipes through it, that would let air get down to the pcb at least. And seriously..wise up on the amount of screws, it should not take around 50 screws to strip a card down when partner cards can be dismantled in under 10 screws,

No it not widespread.
If your 2080 Ti Founders Edition has serial number higher than 0323XXX like 0324XXX etc then you are fine, your card are not affected.

So far. If temps are the issue it could potentially affect every card using that micron gddr6.

Mine starts with T018xxx

Nope. Stock GPU clocks at the time. Temperature reported by the card never breached the mid 70s.
It just got gradually worse over a week. I had one night between crashes (after updating my mobo BIOS and removing the CPU overclock) where it was working perfectly. I actually thought I'd sorted it! And then the next night it started artifacting and deteriorated.

Hope mine will be fine.last night I played about an hour of no man's Sky and was ok.
There's an excel doc people are adding to linked in that thread on page 5, and there are quite a few 324 serial numbers on there. As time goes on, we may see 325 etc. It depends how serious this problem is. A bit too early yet to say that no further cards will be affected.

For the price they charge for the card, Nvidia should have used the aluminium heatsink, bang on the money there G.
Most of the 324s, etc. on there are marked as not a problem so far but a small number of people starting to report issues with them so might be just because it is a later batch that reports of them is only just starting, the batch is less problematic or not affected hard to say.
Certainly too early to say how widespread or not the issue is for certain.

Been running my Palit 2080 Ti on water since launch, no issues here. Memory is clocked at 2GHz.
Isn’t it clocked at 14000Mhz out the box? That’s 14Ghz at default, and you’re running yours at 20Ghz?

The symptoms of my RMA'd 2080ti clearly point to a memory issue. I tried downclocking the RAM and that didn't help at all.

Quick update from last week, 15 from the 18 FE cards are fine and passed 24+ hour burn in testing, one card was DOA with no output at all, and testing with a DMM showed no volts, one card has a malformed/damaged fan which is a physical fault, and the final card is displaying issues as seen in this thread with strange artifacts/graphical glitches and it follows the card from system to system. The fault appeared after approximately 9 hours at 100% load, and now appears at every boot.
Needless to say the QA guys are not pleased with these FE cards, but since they were free issued by a customer we can't blame any of the suppliers. Pretty poor show in my opinion, essentially a 20% fault rate.

Is it only FE versions of the card that are affected? what about third part ones from like likes of evga, paliet etc?
