Buying new 2080 or b grade 2080 ti

Apone70 · 18 Mar 2019 at 22:19

probably just returns, they dont have the RMA's like 20 series cards for sure lol

I'll ring and ask. I know back light bleed can be bad on these monitors. People on Amazon going through 3 + rmas before good IPS panel

Apone70 · 18 Mar 2019 at 22:24

You will notice that straight away though really so shouldnt be an issue.

gearsplayer · 18 Mar 2019 at 22:27

I guess.

Ty. I hope this 2080 impresses me at 1440

Apone70 · 19 Mar 2019 at 14:39

they didnt cut it down, the 1080 was 8gb and the ti 11gb

gearsplayer · 19 Mar 2019 at 14:43

Well performance wise the 2080 is just a 1080 ti with -3gb vram and RT cores slapped on. Also the 1080 is 3 years old now. A £700+ card in 2018/19 should have more vram.

I bought the 2080 but I know it terms of what it is...it's a pretty bad purchase. I just wish I could wait longer for 7nm

Why? High failure rate?

Yup, they're shagged, they have a 20xx Series shagged ROH thread on here for them.

£800 is a big risk for 90 days warranty.

gearsplayer · 19 Mar 2019 at 15:48

Yeah I bought the 2080 X trio

I can't see that the triple fan B stock cards are duds. I'm sure even within 3 months if it was going to break you could break it with heavy clocking.

It's crazy for that sort of money. I wouldn't even consider anything less than a year.

Does the manufacturer’s warranty still apply in these cases, even if the retailer only gives 90 days?

Your contract is with the retalier not the manufacturer and as you are not the original purchaser of the goods the manufacturer is almost certain to tell you to jog on.

Regardless of whatever warranty a retailer advertises you can go back to them for up to an absolute maximum of six years (5 in Scotland) after purchase with faulty goods. In the first six months the burden is on the retailer to show the goods were not inherently faulty at sale (ignoring any stated or obvious faults at point of sale) ... after six months it's on the purchaser to prove the goods were not satisfactory, as described, or lasted a 'reasonable' amount or time whilst having to discount that any end user misue was a factor (good luck with that if you are the purchaser of a GPU).

My Mate was selling his 2080ti for £600 and I still wouldn't buy it due to I was afraid it would die..

Not a lot of vendors offer warranty on used cards, but EVGA certainly do. It'll be backdated to when EVGA originally shipped the card out brand new though, rather than when you purchased it used.

Surely your mate had warranty you could use if it came to it. Which one was it?

It was a Palit 2080ti gaming Pro OC which he himself bought secondhand for £800 a few months before

So it would have been third hand

I think he'll be lucky to shift it for £600, not without a warranty, too risky for that sort of money.

He has sold it now (But I don't know if they did paid him £600 for it)

Its hard to ignore the Radeon 7 for 2080 money, I'd look at that
