Graphics Card Failure Rates Published

[five8five]

Mindfactory have published Nvidia and AMD GPU failure rates. It confirms the high RMA rates of 2080ti cards but also AMD 5700/5700XT cards, in particular the PowerColor brand.

BTW ignore the clickbait title of the link

Personally I think the model that has 13% return rate, might be because of several reasons, first that model was too expensive, I remember seeing the 5700 Red Devil priced as much as some lower end XTs.
Im guessing once those came in stock people actually decided to replace for a XT.
Another reason might be the XT mod, that some people bought and return the non XT models until they find one that is capable..

In any case I'm very happy with my PowerColor Red Devil.

Yes this is likely @xLegendary - I would also add the random driver behaviour people did not want to persevere with the actual issue and blamed the card getting a refund or exchange whilst it was under time period.

When I first read the article, I did wonder if it included distance selling returns but there's no mention. Of course it should say if it does.

Due to the size of the company I'd assume they test returned faulty cards (like OC).

Also, driver issues would surely be spread more evenly across manufacturers and would it result in a "faulty card" after testing?

Agree there, I would speculate more than 50%are because of the drivers

How do you get "more than 50%"? See above.

I'm surprised to see the ASRock Challenger D 5700XT only has a 2% RMA rate, they suffer from Shroud rattle, mine has it, tho its an easy none destructive DIY fix.

Maybe a running fix? Also, different batches in different regions.

Yeah maybe...

Looked at the numbers again. Very small sample size for the Asrock cards so could be misleading.

another reminder to stay away from power colour
those red devil cards are just always pushed too far

rest look as expected, thought the 2080ti would have been slightly higher though

It won't include the 2080Tis that were sold direct by Nvidia. Quite a few of those early cards seemed to have issues.

Because some cards don't experience the problems with drivers, in the same setup 2 might and the 3rd doesn't. If you rma for this and it happens on ocuk test bench is that a fail?

Sorry, are you talking about graphics drivers or firmware?

Hi friends!

Have a beautiful day ...Pls, I have some questions:

1. If it is only the german market ...is it the same in other countries ?

2. Could the ambient temperature have more influence (in other countries) ?

THANKS IN ADVANCE.

They seem to ship to quite a few European countries.

Regarding temperatures, it would also depend on case cooling.
