RMA. Welcome to GDDR6 artifacting hell. Same happened to the rest of the GDDR6 cards

Posted

These last few days I've been overclocking and benchmarking my computer to get the best price/performance. I was finally able to keep my Ryzen 5 2600 stable at 3.9Ghz with 1.31v (CPU temps go too high when at 4GHz).

 

So I decided to start testing my graphics card with 3D Mark's Time Spy free demo without overclocking first. It was doing great, and I was getting decent scores (7000~7200). I do the test one last time before overclocking, and I left it doing its thing. I come back a few minutes later to see how the computer was doing, and lo and behold, the screen was having a green square flickering party! Panicked as I was, I stopped all the programs and restarted the computer thinking that it was just a minor glitch from the program. When I turned it back on, things got worse... green squares pooping out often, to the point where the graphics card couldn't be detected anymore, and Device Manager telling me a code 43 of some sort.

 

Sooo yeah, is there a solution to this problem or do I have to make adjustments to RMA it?

Wooooow... is NVIDIA really overestimating their products? How common is this right now?

common enough to be a popular meme, not just within the AMD fanboy community.
