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."

Why are the negative posts concentrated in the nvidia forums and reddit? Many other places to comment there such as these forums and the forums of the mfg and other tech sites.
More importantly:
Following the link from this article to "talking about crashes" you will see a post from "Sawfear", "konstantin.schuster", "longdiddy", "shiray4" and "psycheva01". Those are the first 5 posts in that thread - each from a new account created October 2018. After those first few posts they start talking to each other until another new member chimes in, "VKN" which is another October 2018 account.

So what are you implying? That there is a newborn conspiracy acting willingly in the open to flame and sabotage Nvidia's reputation? lol that's too much

Received my 2080ti FE on October 5th and worked great until October 27th when my computer suddenly froze while playing Shadow of the Tomb Raider. Screen went black and fans on the GPU went to 100%. Rebooted, tried card in different PCIe slot, and even in my GF's computer all with the same result. As soon as the PC is turned on the fans spin to 100% with no display.
Waiting for my replacement from Nvidia now. Supposed to be shipped out this week. Luckily still had my 980ti so am back to using that for now.

My msi rtx 2080 Ti gaming x trio working pretty well, it’s poor overclocker for prebinned chip though.
It’s also not flawless because I’m having issue with game vsync and screen jittery across developer(which I didn’t have while I was using my 1080 ti back then). I fixed it with forced it in nvidia control pannel. I also noticed weird behavior like black screen flickering in witcher 3 which is addressed in nvidia driver hotfix. So I’m sure this is optimization issue instead of hardware flaw.
And, there isn’t any life sign of dlss or ray tracing just yet. To be honest, this whole generation launch is total mess.

This user bought two RTX 2080 Ti cards to run them in SLI. The first had artifacting issues, and the second came with an orange (not green) GeForce RTX logo and noisy fans while the card was idling.
