Surely with an over 60% failure rate, they've got to do a recall ?

Ah, it's not 60%. But I would say it's over 10% based on the small sample size of this and a couple of other forums.

The failure rate of these cards makes me seriously question how long they'll last when the warranty period ceases..

indeed, things like performance and viability of RT is debatable topics.

But you would think cards failing like they are would keep people from buying these things, but it seems not.

everything packed and prepped ready for collection today

This 60% thing is nonsense based on a tiny survey of about 90 cards, but I agree with melmac, about 10% seem about right.
Whatever the number it is too high, especially considering the price NVIDIA are asking.

I do feel sorry for anyone who has had issues and I look down on some of the members hear who seem to be reveling in others misery.

It's likely to be a lot more than 10%. A number of people have had multiple cards fail.

You mean that the Pascal 1080ti is the better choice? Shock horror!!! OCUK will see you right though buddy.

I think that people are vastly underestimating the number of cards sold.

It won't be a huge amount at these prices. Even the 1080/1080ti didn't sell that well, there was a huge stockpile left. People are only buying them now due to the fail of the 20 series.

Ok so would you say that sales were in the 100, 1000 or 5000, 10,000, 20,000 maybe @Gibbo could shed some light on this. ( not asking you too disclose actual figures or RMA figures just a rough ball park to amount sold)

1080 Ti sold very well, NVidia were always running out of stock on their site.

Yes the only time they got to much stock was when GPU mining died down and they had produced loads of stock for that.

But running out of stock don't mean something sold well as we don't know if they only had 5 cards or 5 million cards to sell ..

The same could be said about the assumption that they didn't sell well. We should all just say it we have no clue.

LOL are you for real??? They had a stock pile because of the mining and they over produced thinking it was going to last longer than it did. The 1080 and 1080Ti sold in huge numbers. They sold so many 1070 and 1080 on release that they had a record breaking quarter.

I dont think a 750w is enough going by other peoples issues with 2080ti, just look at all the other posts where people have had issues and there's loads of them down to the PSU (even 1000W)
