2080ti cards failing ?

ArmitageShanks said:
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?

When other AMD cards and nVidia Fermi, Kepler, Maxwell and Pascal work happily in the systems I don't really see anything that should cause it. One card is still working, my wifes 3rd RTX 2080, so currently 1 out of 5 have worked.
 
There is an excel file on the nvidia forums showing the failure rate at 59% for the 2080ti both AIB and FE. My 2080 is still getting those occasional 1 second black screens on the desktop and while gaming, once in 4 hours or so. I wish NVIDIA would just come out and say whats going on. Its hard to tell what is a driver issue and what are the signs of a defective card.

If there really is an inherent design flaw causing card failure and Nvidia know it exists, you can be sure they'll be in corporate damage limitation mode, first rule of which is to deny said flaw and/or deny there is a problem at all.

Second rule, say as little as possible, preferably nothing at all to the general public.

The file which is self reported and people reporting the same thing multiple times yes... I thought this crazy talk had gone away.

That's quite a chunk assuming accurate numbers :eek:. I can just envision the rma centre piled up with wonky cards.

This surely has to be faulty gpu's that are getting passed out or a flaw in the wafers that went undetected.

Or it’s compatibility with the other hardware/software which means the replacements also appear to have the same issue.

Panos said:
Some people reported 2-3 failures, because they had that many. Already in this discussion there are some with 2+ replacements already.
Look at @Gripen90 how many failed cards had on both his systems. 4.

That’s what I said, multiple reports from the same people.

Anyway I’ll leave you all to it...

Ah, yes, typical, blame the user. Guy on HardOCP had 4 cards fail on two different computers. Kyle's failures were on two different computers. Gripen's failures were on two different computers. And please tell me how is it a computer issue when some of the guys that had multiple failures have two cards in SLI and one card works and the other doesn't and the replacement one doesn't work either.

It's not a problem with their computers.

Or maybe you think they are lying? Somebody didn't believe the guy on hardocp with 4 bad cards. He came back with pictures and proof that he had 4 cards and that they did all fail.

Or maybe you believe Nvidia saying that the RMA rate is normal. Kind of contradictory information from them. Why on earth would they come out about the test escapees if the RMA rate was in any way normal?

But, you go back and stick your head in the sand.

Give it a rest with the angry angry posts, as I said I’ll leave you to your whining while I carry on using my two 2080Tis.

Apologies for having an opinion...

I actually have 4 defective cards !!!

But I am not taking about Turing, I am talking about the 290X from AMD. Every single card they produced from that range had a built in defect and unfortunately for a lot of users it resulted in black screens at stock, for others like me it only appeared when the cards were very overclocked. The point I am making is I did not see people like you making post after post about it, AMD got away light on that one as people blamed the fault on drivers when in actual fact it was hardware based and to do with a weakness in the output of the cards.

I think your problem and some other peoples problem is not with defective Turing cards but with other things to do with the cards. If AMD had a card that was 30% faster than anything in the Turing range I don't think we would see all these defective 2080 Ti posts from people who don't even use the cards. As to Gripen's failures I was very sorry to hear about them but he did not carry on making loads of negative posts on the subject like some people who have not even used the cards, he went out and got some more NVidia cards.

Yes there have been some defective 2080 Ti cards but the numbers don't seem to be growing much and the percentage of total sales that are faulty is decreasing all the time which is good news for end users, would you agree?

Completely untrue, its all nonsense spread by AMD fans! Just like the GTX 970 memory issues that was all complete tosh Nvidia is never wrong and they didn't have to back down and issue a refund to customers at all!

Oh wait...

it's fine to have an opinion, but don't sulk when that opinion is proven wrong. You are blaming user setups for their issues with the 2080ti card, that is not the case at all.

You cant prove anything either pal... but keep typing it’s really good. Ignore anyone who says otherwise, no problem.
