No disrespect but anyone who recommends a 4080 is either a fool or an employee. And 8 pack is not a fool.
The card is way, way overpriced

The card is way, way overpriced Very bizzarre video. Rtx 4090s are mid 20ks for port royal easy, not 18k.
Makes it seem like a 4080 is almost a 4090 when it is miles away from it in any GPU limited application.

So GN is saying the failures seem down to badly inserted connector, user error. Even the taught cables needs the connector not to be properly inserted.

User error mainly according to GN but the build quality on those connectors seems poor as well.
Im thinking it is meant to say 4080 OC

Quick check of the MM thats always a good sign of people buying cards on launch day and putting their's up straight away.

Goodbye warranty then.
What I found disturbing is the failure rate of 0.1%. That's really high.

He said that Nvidia is shortening the sense pins so it will know if it isn't fully inserted and won't boot. That would solve the problem.
I can't see them turning down warranties until a fix is out or at least a lot of publicity to educate owners.

If Nvidia shortens the sense pins then they shouldn't be able to deny any warranty as it's the same as admitting we made a mistake with the connector design.

Exactly.
I wonder if CableMod/Corsair are going to have to do a similar fix as their cables are just as susceptible to failure if this is the problem.

Was thinking about other companies, maybe their sense pins could be shorter or even longer already. Just hope that if the sense pins are shortened it doesn't cause any power detection issues causing the card not to work or shutdown because the sense pins are too shortened, wonder what the tolerance is on those sense pins, wonder how far they can be shortened before the card thinks nothing is connected.
Such a crappy design.
Such a crappy design.

When does the OC UK gym open up? With a couple of 4080's on the end of a barbell you can get jacked like 8pack too! Look at how he's struggling to lift that 4080!

I managed to buy FE version @ £1269. I can't believe it was possible

No way, it will go into my brand new rig. I remember how bad it was to get a card from legit source on previous launch let alone FE...

In truth Nvidia sells its own Founder's Edition models for significantly less than EVGA, But EVGA reportedly loses hundreds of dollars on each RTX cards it sells as it needs to cut prices to remain competitive with Nvidia this is why they left the market, EVGA is a profit greed company

Times have changed though now, no one wants Nvidias overpriced rubbish hence why 4080s are still in stock everywhere and easy to buy.
If demand is this bad on a day one GPU launch where last time around every single card sold out in seconds what do you think will happen in a few months?
