Well hopefully the new driver being released this week will help solve issues for those who are getting them.

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.
You need to ask every owner if they have issues with the cardPeople 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.
There are many in this forum still claiming there is no issues with the 970 and all is hate speech to the card... -_-
You forgot it had less ROPs than advertised also.......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.
LGA775? The GPU will be snoring.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.
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!
GTX1080 then. There weren't such failures so widespread that made GN to do such stuff.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.
GTX1080 then. There weren't such failures so widespread that made GN to do such stuff.
The GTX 1080 didn't quite have the same hate train pre launch behind it either.
A visit in the official forums is an eye opener, why you don't go there mate?
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...
