OP - Get a refund and get a Vega64 with the free games to tide you over. Stick the refund cash in the bank/credit union and sit tight for a few months to see what's happening. The 64 is a very good card and the free games will keep you occupied for a while too

This.

Nvidia won't fix the issue until people stop buying the effected range of cards.

Is it just the 2080 cards or all of the 20 cards ?

JediFragger · 11 Mar 2019 at 12:46

2080Ti only I think?

whitestar85 · 11 Mar 2019 at 13:28

All 20 series judging by the thread on geforce.

I have had a returns label and they said attempt to repair if not a refund issued ..does this sound standard practice ?

I won't be chancing another 2080,to if Radeon 7 was 600 I'd maybe go for that but atm IL probably get a Vega 64 and stick to older games

Can you not just get a full refund ?

Yeah, all Turing cards with gddr6 have the same issue (includes 2080 and 2070 - just that their mem isn't clocked as high as the 2080ti, so the failure rate is less pronounced)

Are all the r7 cards reference is any one more stand out from the rest looking at the sapphire £650 and pressure u can sell the games ???

@whitestar85 did you get the card from OCUK?

MaXxBoulton · 11 Mar 2019 at 16:54

So the 1660ti too?

Not sure. Too early to tell I guess.

No bud used a discount code I had elsewhere but I won't be buying from there next time not that they have anything to do with the quality just there not really a pc component specialist

they are using the same memory thought, right?
i thought i read some wear the general school of thought is the 1660ti was only made to use up a bulk of gddr6 nvidia had laying around

true.
just had a quick google, few sporadic reports that the rtx 2060 is also affected by the memory artifacting.
so definitely all RTX cards are affected.

again, what the cause of it isn't actually known (nvidia probs hiding something lol). most seem to blame micron memory, but it appears hynix and sammy vram can get the same artifacts as well.
so whether is the vram, or the actual architecture/tensor cores or memory controller flaw...not really sure.

as i said, 1660ti is newly released (and has even slower memory speed than 2060)...so we'll just have to see how it plays out.

These cards aren't going to be easy to sell on once the warranty is up...

5 years on mine but it’ll be a hand me down to the kids anyway.

I think that's more like Centipede rather than Space Invaders.

Looks like graphics cards are getting new fad.
I wonder if next cards come with built in snake game...
After all once even TVs had that.

Most expensive Nvidia GPU out at the moment and went it goes bad it just puts low res astericks all over the place. For that money you`d think they could at least have coded in sprites ?

It's Nvidia.
That would have cost £2000.

They will be worthless. No one will dare buy one.

Like the Lancia of GPUs

Good thing mine has 4 year warranty and I'd have sold it within 2 years for the next big thing

Also worth noting is that all data suggests if your 2080ti is going to fail, it's more likely to do so within the first days/weeks and if it survived 4 years it's not likely to just fall over

still wouldn't buy one 4 years down the line,

Mine lasted 2 months one thing worth noting is it started crashing but at 4k , 1440p was fine it !!did this for a week I presumed drivers but it did the same thing in r,6 and bf5. So maybe at 1440p it would have not died ??? Maybe it was once more.memory was used it killed.itself

4k bench marks would kill it on its final day where as like 1080p would work fine
