Does Nvidia bin FE GPUs?

Recently I’ve been having a lot of trouble with my ROG Strix OC 2080 Ti pertaining to max sustained boost clocks. I’ve heard Nvidia binned the best GPUs for the founders cards and I’m considering selling my AIB card for a 2080 Ti FE and just liquid cooling it to get the temps down. Thoughts?

How? It doesn't even do 2GHz?

I guess you dont care about "not worth it" argument, but note that this isn't guaranteed. There are more silicon winners on FE cards but you could still get dud ones that refuse to touch 2050MHz.

Would be a lot better than my Strix card that artifacts and crashes with any level of OC and has a max sustained of 1950. Used to swear by Asus’s quality but I’ve seen similar problems with other people’s strix cards

that could be the memory artifacting issue, just not so bad as other cases which leads to immediate RMA.

Happens at 0 offset on VRAM and +15 on core. If it’s overclocked at all it’s unstable

 

Quick side note, I live near 2 micro centers and I would be fine with being the guy that returns a GPU for being a dud

what if you overclock the memory only?

Dud card then. Happens every once in a while with any model of card.

I'm having a very similar experience right now. Got a EVGA 2080ti ftw3, paid a hefty 21% price premium over the founders edition, and the card won't pass 1950 MHz. Memory is stable at max 400 offset. And just increasing the power limit to max cause crashes during some games. Plus I had the expectation that at least the cooler would be quiet but is the opposite of that, very annoying at 70% and a jet engine at 100%. I'm also considering just getting a founders Edition and adding a hybrid kit from EVGA. 

How did you fixed yours?

Hybrid kits are not available at all for founders editions. Havent even been able to find one on eBay. I had to go with the g12 and x62.
