Quite a few reports of this on reddit also. Most people have RMA'd their card and had a replacement there the next day, so definitely worth getting in contact with their support! Seems like some very bad quality control for the price!Well, I think my 2080Ti FE is almost dead. Lasted a week with random application crashing, and now it's circling the drain with white block/space invader artifacts even on the desktop shortly after boot before it takes the whole system down a few seconds later.
Going to be having a word with nVidia's customer service. Expected better from a £1.1k card!
Disco light artifacts
While it was said tongue in cheek sort of I'm starting to wonder with some of the reports I'm hearing of the same failures with snow like corruption.
QC lacking if that's the case and dodgy cores slipping through?

Ouch, hope they sort it for you quickly. I know any card can be faulty but, it seems worse when you spend more.
Can anyone help, I've just received and installed my 2080 ti, booted into windows fine but in low res so I downloaded the latest geforce drivers. Tried to install the driver but it failed saying another installation was running. So then I tried to use ddu, this also wouldn't run and said my system had an update and needed to be restarted So I restarted windows which said update and restart. When windows restarted the gpu fans went to maximum and I lost the display.ive tried resetting the system multiple times and now all I get is no signal, max fans on the gpu and the vga light on my mobo. Please help!
Received my 2080 Ti FE today. Just powered it up and to my horror, one of the fans is defective. What I can only describe as a constant brushing sound as if the bearing is catching on something.
You can really tell Nvidia are pushing these out as fast as possible. No QC.
Returning it for a refund.

Yeah, I'm gonna wait it out for the AIB stock. Simply unnacceptable for a £1100 card.
Tried a different pci-e slot and got everything working, card seems to have killed my top pci-e slot now though

Wow looks like a huge failure rate?

I'm sure there's probably a lot of confirmation bias happening here tbh, but it doesn't look good.
I reckon it's probably less than 5%, but with nVidia's release delays I'm now very suspicious that this could be the reason and they decided to knowingly ship less-than-perfect cards, figuring that the RMA rate would impact their share price less than yet another delay.
There was one of the Intel/MS updates that patched against one of the Meltdown/Spectre type vulnerabilities that were causing people a lot of problems like that you might need to remove it - was causing inability to overclock and problems with PCI-e compatibility, etc.
Thanks I'll look into it

Snap! I realised I had put a thermal pad in the wrong place with my EK block. After fixing this temps were now what I expected but the performance had broken. At first I could apply 600 on the memory (didn't try higher) and OC without issue. After fixing the block setting the clock on the memory higher than +50 produces artifacts in OCCT GPU test and the strange shapes on the desktop. All games crash within seconds or at most 6 minutes even at GPU stock settings. The GPU is still happy to mine at 100%, but mining doesn't have the same demands as games.
This clearly seems to be a memory issue (memory power or chip I don't know).
I'm on Ryzen.
I had the same symptoms with a new non-blocked MSI 980ti. The replacement worked all the way though.
I will be trying another slot as a last resort.

KB4100347 update is the one you need to uninstall. It breaks overclocking and other things on X99. It caused similar issues for me too on 6900K, I was trying many things in BIOS and nothing would make overclock actually apply, but as it turned out it was all because of this update. First time ever I had any issues with Windows Update. All of this Meltdown and Spectre cheap drama in media turned out to be way more damaging than Meltdown and Spectre itself, because issues caused by all of those "security updates" are countless while I haven't heard about a single confirmed example of Meltdown and Spectre affecting PC user. But it does affect everyone now, through security updates
