Unlucky, can happen with any card. Msi service is meant to be quite good and getting you a replacement shouldn't be hard as its still a widely available card.

Unlucky, hope mine stays fine.

If you brought it within 30 days ocuk will change it without waiting for msi to send another one.

That can happen with any card, had mine a while now with no problems.

Pascal with HBM2 could be a real reliability pain.

Out of my 4 Fury Xs, 2 had to be RMAed due to memory faults.
