2080ti cards failing ?

So some of the issues look like they will be fixed with a driver update, the issue fixed by the driver update affects every card tested but only a few niche configurations cause it hence not the 100% RMA rate.
 
The problem with the video from the Caseking guy is that they don't do FE cards and the bulk of the cards reporting issues are FE cards. Also, I don't think CaseKing or any other retailer would do anything to damage their sales. They are going to come and reassure everybody that things are fine until Nvidia confirms or denies that a problem exists.

Maybe you guys are right and there isn't a problem or that it's been overblown. We see it happening time and time again on the internet. Bad news spreads like wildfire and the story escalates with every new site that links to it. I hope for all the new owners that you are right.

But, there are a lot of people reporting issues. Take this thread, 8 people have returned their cards. Journey's company got 18 2080ti cards, 3 of them were faulty. Ltron's RMA was taking ages, contacted Digital River to find out what the problem was, and was told that there was an extremely high return rate on Nvidia's new product.

Here is a google doc made with info from a survey on the Nvidia forums

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BHwsdI5cCaUUQu0vRtHgGDGrG-3Vf7_b82KX_lZ4-9M/edit#gid=0

If you go to HardOcp, they did a survey too. So far, 90 people have reported no problems with their 2080Ti, 16 said that their 2080Ti died.

Small sample sizes I admit but it certainly looks like something's not quite right. Is it been overblown? I don't know.

People will only report when they have a problem, they will go googling and find the above surveys. The tens of thousands without a problem are busy enjoy their card and not doing google searches for something they have never heard of.

Its like going to a Hospital and then making the statement everyone must be sick or injured, ridiculously skewed data.

You need to ask every owner if they have issues with the card
 
There are many in this forum still claiming there is no issues with the 970 and all is hate speech to the card... -_-

..and there are many in this forum who claim to know about the 970 but who have never owned one, if you did, you'd know that the 'slow VRAM' wasn't an issue in 95% of games when going over 3.5GB VRAM usage.
 
2080ti apparently also has some glitchy driver behaviour with certain LGA775 boards for some unknown reason... not sure why anyone would even try that combo mind.
 

At least people have humour also....

It just works(If/when it wants to)

Nvidia's cards are now so advanced that they decide themselves if they want to work on a particular day or workload...

The Tensor cores are so advanced that they made them became conscious... in just a few weeks 2080Ti's will be marching and demanding an end to their slavery and equality... they will also ask for a share from every bitcoin mined

From the latest driver release notes:
* Fixed a bug that caused Turing GPUs to underperform on Mondays.

You see that's why you should buy more of them. To make sure you have some workforce redundancy.

In case Joe RTX2080 decides not to come in to work on Monday, Bob RTX2080 can still handle enough of Joe's duties for the day.
And really you know, the more workers you have the more you save on unexpected absent employees.

It just works!
:D

I do not member any other time in the past the shouting about broken cards being that big news. 1080Ti came out just 18 months ago, so is not something like "issues weren't reported" or "people take the internet complaining when having issues".

Seems more people having issues with the 2080s that with the 1080 for sure.
 
People seem to forget that the Pascal architecture had been around for quite some time before the 1080Ti launched...

Turing is brand new, failures are going to be a thing, it's how they deal with the failures that's important.
 
Replacement 2080Ti FE installed last night, no mystery crashes or glitches and could run BF1 with no issues for a couple of hours solid (previous card would cause the game to crap out after 5-10 minutes when it was freshly installed). No artifacts or system crashes on this one....so far!

Seems to be very slightly slower and somehow is making my CPU run a lot hotter than the previous card though, but nothing major.
 
My replacement comes tomorrow so hopefully that works as well as my current ones. Only replacing due to a dodgy fan and orange logo, other than that the both the top card has been running 24/7 since the 22nd October and the bottom one since the 30th October. So far no space invader artifacting at the moment and they have both had plenty of hours gaming.

Started my RMA on the 24th October for the second one, this was upgraded to an advanced replacement on the 29th October and replacement was sent out on the 6th November.

Didn't run SLI until the 30th as it took ages to get the bridge.

A visit in the official forums is an eye opener, why you don't go there mate?

Already been there, I wouldn't call it an eye opener, I'd call it people being vocal about a product that costs a lot and has failed them, would people be as vocal if it cost half the price or would they just quietly go through the RMA process and get a new card?

I'm not denying that there are failures, but I do think that with a questionable price point and a large amount of people hating on the card before it even launched that it's allowed the failures to gain more attention than they probably would have if it cost half the price and had an initially positive reception.
 
I have had my 2080ti FE for over a month now, no issues so far (yay for a sample size of 1).

Interesting to see such 'genuine concerns' about these cards from non owners who have been quite vocal about not wanting to buy into these cards even before this issue became known. It would be nice to have a thread that could be a source of useful information without all the pointless noise from those who are only interested in petty point scoring.

Fair enough anyone who has paid over a grand for a poor space invader clone, no issue at all with anyone in that situation making all the noise in the world.
 
LOL the excuses for the product being crap are quite funny.

So Nvidia release a product with excessive price to performance gain. With unusable features and a nebulous 'it's coming soon' mantra and then to top it off they have a higher than average failure rate from what looks to be poor PCB design.

But it's all blown out of proportion as it was the hate train (which happened after the reveal, not prior) and there's no validity to the numbers...

Seriously can the team green lovers fanboy harder...

Higher failure rates than average based on what proof? Forum posts?

Ok.

The way people talk on here you'd think every card produced will fail.
