KFA2 ARE SMASHING UP DA DEALS: 2070 SUPER UK's CRAZY LOW PRICE & 10TH ANNIVERSARY IN STOCK!!!

I've only ever had a 780 6GB fail on me. Everything else has been fine. 670, the 780 replaced by a 980 and now my 1080 (which is for sale in the MM as I've just ordered my 2070s!) have all been fine of my recent cards. Even before that I've had no failures.
 
Just been forced into buying a new 2070 Super as the 780Ti failed on me this morning with thick green bands over the raid bios, and thin ones over the main bios, refusing to boot into Windows. Confirmed dead by local PC shop, I think it's been on its way out for some time.

I have the same card and its been fantastic easily as quiet as the MSI 2080 Tri Cooler.
I go between both those PCs and you cant tall the difference in sound or FPS.

Very impressed with it.

Thanks. That’s great to know.
Do you think it’s worth going for the triple fan version for £10 more ?

It seems graphics cards that run hot are very likely to fail at some point. None of my water cooled cards ever died on me no matter how much abuse they had to take including shunt mods etc. and many of them were second hand.
Now I had two GPUs in laptops die as they were running at around 90c.
So yeah it's most of the time heat that kills graphics cards unless they were faulty out of the box.
That's my experience anyway.

My first 1080ti FE died of it's own accord and was running at 85C max. The second I helped on to the next stage of its spiritual journey by trying to fit a NZXT cooler
and it wouldn't boot at all afterwards. No idea why not as I was very careful but the replacement is a stonking card for an FE, does 2000Mhz quite comfortably.
 
The deals look great until you see the warranty. I still cannot fathom that once these GPU's go above £400 that the warranty is still only 2 years, further made ridiculous when as someone else rightly pointed out, nearly £2k for the 2080ti and a 2 year warranty on a card with a failure rate enough to make it a big risk. Shame, because they look fantastic.
 
Never owned KFA what they like with RMA UK based? Where's that handy table someone made on GPU RMA on this forum...
 
Having such a short warranty just shows that the manufacturer doesn't back or believe in the quality of its own product.
 
Just looking at the games & hardware at Game
Look at this New in stock GPU :D

it's likely due to the mining craze.

can you imagine how many RMA's they got back when mining was popular. so dropping to 2 years will likely save them millions in repairs. most products only come with a year standard these days anyway.

But often mining cards were undervolted and at lower clocks, surely this would improve lifespan.

I've never had a card fail in use (first time I tried AMD card was DOA so not counting that...) on air or water tbh however when peak temps are 52-53 degrees in-game with heavy overclocks you have a fuzzy feeling the GPU is a happy chap:)

some good prices, tempted by the 2080 S
 
i'm always surprised when threads are about dead GPUs in normal useage, must be badluck or i've had good luck!
