2080ti Problems

It is Gigabyte. I may as well see if they can do something I guess. Probably something to check before I roast it?!

Gigabyte are pretty good, or at least their UK based RMA used to be. I'd give them a call, or drop them an e-mail and see what they say, nothing to lose really.
 
It's prolly got the faulty batch of GDDR6 Micron memory from around 2018. If you check the cards serial number you'll be able to tell if it was manufactured during that era. Also you can see if it has micron memory if you've ever seen it in GPU-Z.

Edit: Oh and ovening wont help that. It needs its ram replaced. Take it up with the manufacturer, it's a known fault, but I doubt they'll make a warranty exception.

Does anyone think trying to reflash the gpu bios would be worth a shot before sticking it in the oven/heat gun?

Hi all.

After rebooting my machine today there was a short lived graphics glitch (odd colours across the screen) followed by booting into Windows limited to 1024x768 and Device Manager reporting that it has stopped the card because it has reported problems (Code 43).

What I've done so far to no avail:

DDU'd in Safe Mode and reinstalled latest drivers. This causes the same graphical glitch when the drivers would normally pick up the monitor native res and the process just ends with no error message and no change.

Moved the DP to a different port
Moved the card to a different slot
Changed the power connectors

When moving the card it did seem quite hot on the backplate, although I have nothing to compare it to. HWinfo reports 47c with the fans at 20% and the card doing nothing but displaying a low res desktop.

Is there anything obvious I'm missing or is it broken?

Definitely down clock the vram before trying the oven method.

Thanks for this, it certainly looks like a memory issue.

In happier news, I was convinced that I bought this early 2019 but in fact it was early-mid 2020 so I'm still in warranty! Nice to be a few months in than a few months out as normal. I've contacted Gigabyte so hopefully all will be sorted.

Good news, bet you are glad you checked now. :)

That's interesting then because the micron memory problems were solved by then I believe.

But regardless faulty RAM IC of any manufacturer commonly presents with error 43 in device manager... and your card is in warranty so they should replace it no matter what.

Good news and good luck :).
