2080ti cards failing ?

Shaz12 said:
The RTX series is attracting so much hate over the internet because of the pricing which has resulted in issues being blown out of proportion. There are plenty of gamers happily gaming on Turing and not posting on the forums. NVIDIA knows the consequences if all cards started failing en masse. I wouldn't worry about it. If it fails, it will fail within the return window. Doesn't take long for the problem to rear its head, thankfully. Mostly all cards have issues at launch.

I don't think it's blown out of proprotion ! Several people had numerous replacement cards failing too. I have had 1x Gainward RTX 2080Ti Phoenix Golden Sample, 2x MSI RTX 2080 Duke OC, 1x Gigabyte RTX 2070 Gaming OC fail on me. 4 RTX cards within a months time that fail - that is more than I have had to RMA through last 20years of graphics cards, and I've hand around 180 pieces through my hands. That is not a particularly succesfull rate in my book !.

Yeah same with the older BGA solder failure problem - there were some cards that were in the affected production that never had issues and a lot that failed very early on then the rest failed over a series of months or even years but before they otherwise would have.

The Playstation 3 phat models suffered that as well.

Ouch :(

I must agree with you. There were failed cards before, but it was never so much fuss about which proves that there is a serious underlying issue.

Yeah but those cards are so over priced its not worth the risk is it

Well had you read Gibbo post about 1080 Ti?

https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/posts/32309471

I checked GTX 1080 Ti and RTX 2080 Ti listings:

My basket at Overclockers UK:
Total: £2,711.07 (includes shipping: £11.10)
​

I cant believed crazy stooges people are still buying old last gen 1080 Ti at £900 and probably will buy at £999 soon rather than not buy the most powerful next gen 2080 Ti at today bargain £998.99 with Battlefield V free game worth £54.95.

Wow 1080 Ti not worth at these prices and performance.
 
It sucks that GTX 1080Ti are EOL and that prices have sky rocketed for the remaing cards, especially when you aren't ready to jump onto the RTX band wagon.
I managed to get mine at a decent price that also was lower than they intially were released, and also cheaper than RTX 2080's.
I have owned 5x GTX 1080Ti's, 3x GTX 1080's, 2x GTX 1070, 1x GTX 1070Ti, 2x GTX 1060's, 3x GTX 1050Ti, 1x GTX 1050 and never had any issues with them. Then I switch to "RTX on "and they all die... what gives....

Really?

What I do find strange about this thread is the 2080 Ti does have some weaknesses but the people here are so focused on faulty cards that they have totally missed the obvious.

Even the tech site reviewers have for one reason or another not reported what I am talking about.

Having said that the 2080 Ti is a nice card, it is unfortunate that the asking price is too high.

Are you just talking about the performance weakness stated above, or at a failure level?

Just because it hasn't failed yet doesn't mean it won't. If there is a manufacturing defect with the chip

What makes you think the problem is with the actual GPU?
 
Watch out the Apple style indoctrination on critical thinking is strong with Nvidia and AMD and even Intel in pretty equal measure. So easy to fall in the trap of 'insert favoured company' can do no wrong because I've never had a problem...

It's stupid to conduct yourself that way as all companies want is the contents of your wallet. Some strive to make a good product, others get rid of the competition and make theirs the only product. In business both tactics are logical, there's literally no care for the end user as that's not the issue in question. It's just how to extract the money from the customer's wallet.

Yes really... would you feel comfortable going after RTX for a 5th time when 4 have failed you already ?. Currently there's just one RTX in the house and that's my wifes MSI RTX 2080 Duke (her 3rd card) and so far it's working.

Normally in those instances, the user is finding a red herring for the subsequent failures. To have 3 or 4 cards fail is extremely unlucky (not saying you haven't). I know some of the numbers on failures - it's not as bad as the internet would lead you to believe.
 
I dont understand why companies think its better to blatantly lie than be honest, like the xbox 360 within failure rate averages of 3-5% then later revealed at peak of problem at over 60% failure rate and average during first gen models of 30%.

Just performance.

Some people in this thread who don't even own a Turing card are so pre occupied with the small percentage of defective cards that they don't even notice what the cards can and can not do.

I do feel sorry for the people who have received a defective card though.

So do I I’m on my second (haven’t got it yet) but here’s hoping it’s a good one. This time.
 
So just an update. I was playing Assassins creed origins and all of a sudden, the screen flashed black a couple of times and I alt tabbed back and it once again repeated. It now flashed black again while on the web browser while typing this. RTX 2080 FE here. Card is 7 days old. Is the card dying?

I'm not saying it's impossible, but the chances of receiving 4 dead cards must be astronomical (I've only had one duff card, second one is a keeper...so far).

Are you sure it's not something else causing these cards to die?

You must be pre bumpgate. I literally lost count and eventually give up on RMA'ing Nvidia cards.
