Unusual high failure rates for GeForce RTX 2080 Ti?

Unusual high failure rates for GeForce RTX 2080 Ti?

For a couple of days now there is quite a lot of chatter on the web with GeForce RTX 2080 Ti buyers having issues, problems even running up-to the level where the card is bricked. We've monitored the chatter on the usual channels for a few days to see what is going on, and yeah the Geforce forums are flooded with reports.

The problems reported are rather diverse, some have unexpected BSODs, other cards just die and other show artifacts. All this does not seem to be related towards tweaking and overclocking. The thing with forum reports, however, is difficult, only people that have an actual issue will report it, the ones that are happy would not visit any forums, so as to what extent this is becoming a valid issue that is higher than normal RMA wise we cannot tell just yet. But something does seem to be going on.

  

  

If you dig around a little, several threads have been piling on Nvidia’s forum about problem RTX 2080 Ti cards for a while now. There literally are dozens if not hundreds of comments talking about crashes, blue screen of deaths, artifacts, and cards that fail to work or just die. It's not likely that all or any is related, but the number of reports is unusually high. By itself stumbling into issues a normal thing on support forums, however, what also is unusual is that the vast majority of reports seem to focus on the GeForce RTX 2080 Ti founder editions. There are some reports on Gigabyte and ASUS boards as well, but far less.

Since most GeForce RTX 2080 Ti owners will visit Guru3D.com, we'd love to hear from you. Whether that is a good or bad experience with the card, as I would like to see a more balanced view on the matter. Please do post your experiences in the thread below.

Nvidia's Response

Nvidia shares some words on the topic  and states it's not an increasing number of users affected by this problem, they also reiterate it does not seem to be a broad problem and adds to that: "we are working with each user individually as we do always."

Lets hope it doesn't stop people using the ray-tracing on their new cards


It will put the biggest stress ever on those cards, those who have faulty cards will die fast, i wonder if nvidia knows something about that.

I have two 2080 Ti FE in NVLiink/SLI and have had no issues so far. I received them in the first batch of deliveries a while back.

I installed a 2080 Ti FE last Wednesday, within the first half hour or so, the logo turned from green to red. No other signs of an issue. I read that there is an RGB controller for the logo but no known means of changing the color. I tried using EVGA Precision and I can control the LED there, on/off/breathing but it's red.

A few days later, Friday, I installed a second 2080 Ti FE along with the bridge in SLI surround. So far beyond the logo both cards have been running fine and I've been pushing them pretty hard. I am not as yet trying any overclock, just using Afterburner Beta to control the fan profiles. I had read that other people had RMA'd cards for the logo changing color. As long as it's working fine...I wasn't keen on going through an RMA. Though I wish I knew why it had changed color. Rumor has it, we'll be able to adjust the color in a future driver. We'll see.

My 2x 2080ti Gainward Phoenix GS works great, been doing the regular stress tests to rule out initial defects.
