Another dead 2080ti

whitestar85 · 9 Mar 2019 at 18:05

Had a problem yesterday display went off and then couldn't boot windows .

Couldn't get pc to boot . Wiped it fresh install

Ran on onboard graphics
Installed 2080ti new drivers
Opened heaven and have a screen full of space invaders

I presume nothing else would cause this ???

tbh. i wouldn't entertain buying any RTX cards with anything less than a 5 year warranty (ie zotac only) at this point in time.
the odds of a catastrophic memory failure appears waaaaay too high.

any other card suitable at 4k

r6 siege main game for next 12 months id say

unfortunately no. 2080ti is the only 4k60 capable card at the moment.

it's all a russian roulette.
hence why imho, getting a 5 year warranty is crucial.

eg:
palit £1000 - 2 year warranty - if fails after 2 years, £500/yr
evga £1100- 3 year warranty - if fails after 3 years, £367/yr
gigabyte £1100 - 4 year warranty - if fails after 4 years, £275/yr
zotac £1100 - 5 year warranty - if fails after 5 years, £220/yr

similar cost, but cost/yr if the cards fail after warranty is very much different

I hear ya , hopefully its a simple process

Almost makes me think they hid a ZX81 on chip inside the 2080ti to produce the space invaders. Most expensive Nvidia GPU out at the moment and went it goes bad it just puts low res astericks all over the place. For that money you`d think they could at least have coded in sprites ?

Don't the Vega cards do really well in that game? A Radeon 7 might serve you well, esp at that res.

Looks like the 2080 still beats it;

I had this with my EVGA 2080ti XC Ultra which I had since the week of launch. Got it replaced under warranty last week.

Waiting on replacement Palit gaming OC which will be the third card

Thought ssd had failed so took that out and have put windows on M2 fresh.

Just went to put ssd back in as now it's turned out to be the card and I've just snapped the sata connecter on the ssd :mad:

Today just gets better !!!
