Posted November 27, 2018 It was only on the first line, the ones sold en produced are just at the normal failure rate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 27, 2018 Gamers Nexus's analysis ruled out temperature and firmware issues. So it's likely a manufacturing defect that managed to slip by QA in the first runs. I have a blog! And a list of guides I've posted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted November 27, 2018 While the media and people's anecdotal horror stories about the RTX 2080 Ti failing paint a terrible picture for the card, in all reality the card has a pretty standard failure rate. Scouring the internet it mostly seems Nvidia branded RTX 2080 Ti cards have been effected. Some have hypothesized this is due to a bad batch of Micron ram and replacements are being sent back with Samsung versions? TLDR still a overblown story just magnified by the $1000+ cost of each card and with ray tracing being a dud so far.

No. Nvidia simply also gets VRAM from Samsung as well as Micron alome can't keep up with the production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah so what I said is correct. If people's defective cards are using Micron VRAM, NVIDIA still could be sending out Samsung replacements SFF Time N-ATX V2 - Gigabyte X570 I Aorus Pro WIFI - AMD Ryzen 9 5800X3D - Gigabyte Gaming OC RTX 4090 - LG C2 OLED 42" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted November 30, 2018 They are safe to buy. I just bought two EVGA 2080Ti XC Ultras and they have been flawless. They are spectacular cards and absolutely rip everything. 5950X | 32GB G.Skill DDR4 3600 | ASUS Dark Hero | EVGA FTW3 Ultra 3090 Hybrid | ASUS PG27UQ & PG279Q | Dual Samsung 970 Evo+ 2TB | Corsair AX1600i | Corsair H150i Pro Capillex | Corsair 1000D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
