That wasn't actually a 2080Ti, it was a 2080 RTX from HQ which I still have. I sent back one of my Palit cards.

Ha ha, that's great and when you go to RMA or refund your RMA 2080 Ti then they've got the most wonderful customer support so you can do it in a timely and efficient manner. Oh wait, sorry, I was dreaming; actually the opposite is true and you get to fight with a useless lying call centre in India and will be waiting for weeks on end with no communicationNvidia are actually changing the RTX prefixes now !

I just received my shipping label, I can't believe it. Now I can finally send the card back! Maybe they read my post

Finally!! wow that was a long wait. Are you getting a refund or a replacement?
As an aside, just noticed on Nvidia's shop the 2080ti isn't listed for sale anymore.

Yes it is.
So far so good with my Zotac Ti. Do admit to being slightly nervous but it has a good warranty.
It's not listed on the shop page at all.

Worst launch since GTX970 3.5 GB VRAM debacle?
That wasn't really a launch debacle though it was only picked up on later and for most people didn't stop them use the GPU - a small number of games it would cause stutter which was reduced in the number of titles it affected with a driver update.
So far based on only having rough numbers to go on it seems pretty similar in terms of number affected to the 290(X) black screen memory issues on launch.

Well, they'll never admit to anything more than 'usual' returns. NV lied about the 970's VRAM, even though it was a good card enjoyed by many, NV did get caught out lying. Whether they got rumbled right at launch or not that's pretty disgraceful behaviour.

That wasn't a bad launch, their sales shot through the roof.

It depends on your persepective. I'd have been livid if i'd have been conned. That said, we're living in an age when people would rather defend the Corporation than scammed them than admit that they've been scammed.

The 970 debacle with the 3.5GB ram and less than advertised ROPs, appeared a year after the card was released. When games like Mordor started using 4GB VRAM and perf collapsed
I agree but it didn't turn the launch into a shambles and result in people having dead cards in their hands in the days and weeks after release.

Fair enough 'launch' was clearly poorly chosen. My memory was hazy, it was some time ago.
