Please use this thread to post as much information as you can about any NVidia 20XX series card you have had to RMA.

I will link the posts in the OP.

Could you not just use the 2080Ti cards failing thread?

What I want to do is list and link all the failing cards to in the OP to see what the problems are and how many.

This will make it easy for someone to quickly read all the owners posts about their problems without having to read all the other debate.

 

[Kaapstad]

I will start adding the posts into an OP summary tomorrow.

 

[Kaapstad]

Thread updated.

You might want to have separate posts for 2080 Ti, 2080, and 2070 RMAs.

I have planned for that with some extra posts at the start of the thread.

If we see a lot of faulty cards it will only take me a few minutes to separate them into lists for each SKU.

Well my Gainward RTX 2080Ti Phoenix Golden Sample which I got monday this week also decided it wanted to be RMA'ed. Suddenly today wanting to game, it would display star flashing like artifacts in all different colours - looking like something on a christmas tree, and afterward the image would stutter to a halt and the then black screen, and then only a hard reset would get me back into windows. The card has now been packed and I'm awaiting an RMA number....

My wifes MSI RTX 2080 Duke OC knocking on wood still lives.

Sorry to hear about your card.

List updated.

Inno3d 2080ti x2 OC

Ran for 4 days - reached 84-85c in games but fans never went to 100% -= stayed about 50%

5th day or so, began to get random coloured blocks on the screen and the game freezing or giving Fatal DirectX Error 11000002

6th day, PC began to reboot or shutdown during games. Between reboots, large areas of screen turned into minecraft mess of coloured squares.

Hope all goes well with the RMA.

Added to the list.

My Gigabyte Gaming rtx 2080ti (arrived 10 days ago) started playing up today.
I applied the gigabyte bios update for the GPU on day 1, no problems until today.

Black screens started to appear in games, causing them to crash. Frequently the game audio could be heard still going on in the background. More often then not; task manager wasn't available to end task resulting in the need to hard reboot.
On occasions my machine would restart then at the windows login screen; black screen would occur followed by no signal messages (both screens).

Safe mode was accessible so I tried to revert the driver; to no avail.

Plugged my gtx 980ti back in, back in business.
Plugged rtx 2080ti back in, after reseating this appeared to work normally for 2 hours before black screens/hard resets.

I also had a GPU/ no signal crash using Excel!

Gamers Nexus has uploaded a video explaining that this appears to be widely reported on higher refresh rate monitors (G sync and non g sync) and multi monitor setups (I have both).
I updated my Aorus RGB software from v1.46 to v1.47 (now that I think of this I'm thinking this could be a likely contribute); I will uninstall this tomorrow and give it another try before RMA'ing.

I RMA'd my Gigabyte Gaming rtx 2080ti middle of last week; Refund ackowledgement was processed promptly - funds yet to reach my account.

Nvidia have apparently admitted fault with the founders edition card, of which mine isnt. Maybe just bad luck?

Very sorry to hear about your card.

OP list updated.

Playin cod wwii game was still on but there was no sound ...

Do you have the details so I can put your card on the list.

 

[Kaapstad]

Awk come on plz I wanted a zotac this round is defo me out now



Yes mate gigabyte arous 2080ti extreme no OC on Card.

Both cards added to the OP list.

Hope everything goes quickly and well with the RMA.

Does anyone know what part of the card fails to cause the space invaders type artefacts?

 

[Kaapstad]

Allegedly ram but highly doubting 2 ram manufacturers are sending dodgy ram to nvidia. If these are supposedly "test boards" that got into retail (cough bs cough) then it could really be any part of the card.

I don't think it is RAM as the artefacts are always spread evenly across the screen on all the examples I have seen.

Also if it was RAM why are the artefacts always space invader types?

Whatever it is it seems to be something that has a global effect, it could even be a dodgy batch of GPU chips.

 

[Kaapstad]

Well if we're waiting on nvidia telling us the truth we may as well wait til doomsday. They're peddling this "small amount of test boards" ******** even though it affects cards not using their pcb. Gamers nexus was speculating it could well be an issue in the gpu silicon as well.

I think it could be the GPU silicon as the 2080 and 2070 also use the same GDDR6 memory and have much lower failure rates.

Thread updated.

Good luck with the RMAs.
