Did you RMA your 20XX card, if so please post the details.

[Freddie1980]

Has there been any official word on what's causing these failures yet? Early speculation pointed towards issues with DDR6 but I've seen seen anything in tech press about this since November.

No, only that RMA's are within "Normal levels" which I think is complete BS. Microsoft threw out that line back in the 360 days & we know now that they were running around like headless chickens trying to figure out why

I went through six Xbox 360's.

I went through six Xbox 360's.

I went through two before calling it a day.

I also remember MS saying the returns were nothing out of the ordinary.

Usual corporate damage limitation BS.

Gigabyte Waterforce 2080Ti RMA’d 18 Feb. From install it was showing occasional bright coloured flashing artefacts when running BF5 in RTX. Wasn’t enough to worry me at first thinking it could be a driver issue, but when it also started showing similarly with Metro Exodus, I thought there must be a problem. Then it started “stalling” in a strange way. The frame rate would fall to 1FPS. Game was still running but seemingly without a GPU. Eventually it was blue screening constantly. Gigabyte have had it for 3 weeks and have admitted defeat. OCUK is sending me a replacement today and I’m just hoping this one will be ok.

Gigabyte Windforce RTX 2060 for me, the fan was constantly making a rattle noise, it was horrific, so annoying. At 50c the fans turn on but because the fans are off prior to 50c the card idled around 49c so the fans would spin up and spin down non stop and it was SO loud and distracting! Send it back for a refund, going to go for something from another company now.

Very sorry to hear about your cards.

Does anyone know what's causing the problem as it seems to be the entire range now failing where as before it was just the 2080ti

 

[scubes]

I thought it was down to the ram? I'm hearing ppl say on here other stuff.

Shouldn't it just be gddr6 memory issues only Kaap? A busted fan isn't a memory issue.

With great power comes great army of Space Invaders

The more powerful a RTX card is, the higher the failure rate I suppose (particularly the higher the memory clock).

15 x 2080Ti’s listed so far, which isn’t actually that bad over nearly 6 months.

+1

The whole issue has been blown up more then reality.

To be fair some had several replacements that failed too. One has had 4 fail.

15 x 2080 Ti's vs 1 x 2080 and 0 x 2070's doesn't look great to me for me the 2080 Ti, unless 15x as many 2080 Ti's than 2080's have sold to members here. For every 2000 series failure logged on this thread, it's a safe bet that x others are going unreported.

True, but 4 of the cards listed belonged to 2 people.

I just think that if the issue is as bad as some people have made it out to be I’d expect to see 50+ listed on here, if they're all shagged, as others have so eloquently put it.

Don’t get me wrong, there appears to be an issue with a few cards but that’s why I opted for one with a 5 year warranty, just in case.

My RTX Titans are still working fine and they overclock better than most 2080 Ti cards on the memory.

Just started the process for my Palit GeForce RTX 2060 StormX.

Since fitting it a few days ago, the display randomly goes black before returning again. It's hit and miss but sometimes completely unusable.
