85c and it's not even overclocked.

That's with the stock fan curve. You have a Titan x, that's how the cards work.

Well aware its with the stock fan curve, the point is the temps are no better off than when they were using a blower cooler, if anything they're a few c worse. And remember this was "designed for overclocking", not at those temps it wasn't.

I actually have 4 defective cards !!!

*Snip

Your logic is so weird to me

So in fact you didn't have 4 defective cards as problems only occurred when heavily OC'd.

How in gods green is that a fault of any card regardless of team ?

Also just a FYI, I never had that issue.

Because for a lot of users the problem occurred when running stock.

So the temp eventually levelled out at 84c at stock clocks. What a **** cooler.

But you stated you had 4 defective cards but you didn't, what other have is irrelevant to that particular statement.

Please don't spoil it for those that haven't seen it.

They are defective as they can not overclock properly due to a hardware weakness in the output, the cards run fine and produce the fps but the monitor screen is blacked out.

You may question the fact that I overclock the cards but it is no laughing matter for the people who had the problem when the cards were at stock.

I do have a fix for the above problem, I can run the monitor at 30htz lol which is totally useless for gaming.

It's a thrilling watch, LOTR and Avatar have nothing on it.

That would probably be classed as a technicality depending if overclocking voids warranty or not. If it runs at its rated clocks then that is really all its meant to do, overclocking is a bonus and not something that needs to happen. Been a while since i ran an amd card but isn't there some kind of warning in wattman stating along the lines of overclocking being done at your own risk and it voiding warranty if you proceed? There was at one point.

Presumably these are all reference cards? I had a vapor x with no issues in that regard as it had sapphires uprated pcb.

The GPU fans on my 2080 using the stock curve are 53% at 78c. The fan on that Ti is being under-utilised without a custom fan profile.

Reference PCB yes.

I am trying to get across the point that there have been plenty of defective AMD cards too but people did not go to the extremes they seem to be with the 2080 Ti.

I was lucky with my 290Xs that they were unaffected in normal operation but there were a lot of people who had cards that would not function properly at stock.

Hello,

I have recently purchased an Inno 3d 2080ti x2 , it was swapped out for my MSI 1080ti (Aero). I benchmarked the machine (6700K @4,6Ghz, with 16Gb, 650watt corsair PS) before and after with Timespy and various others and all seemed well. Then after a few days, while running a flight sim it crashed back to the desktop. I tried various driver updates but it still crashed back to the desktop. As a diagnostic I put the 1080ti back and all was well. I then put the 2080ti in my second machine (media PC under the TV, Ryzen 1700x 16Gb) and it seemed to work again, ran the Timespy stress test and it passed.

I then switched the cards back again, the 2080ti then passed the stress test all day yesterday, then this morning it started crashing again, it will not now complete the Timespy stress test.

Any advice welcome on what to try next?

Thanks

Nigel

Not sure if it’ll help but I’ve just gone back a driver from 417.01 as although I was getting better benchmark scores, it was bugging out with a few of my favourite games.

Overclocks are never guaranteed, I agree with Pete, your cards are not defective.

And in all likelihood they were replaced, plus they didn't cost the better part of a grand. It's more so the delay coupled with the pricing that is annoying people more.
