Eh i dont mind it at all. I dont use screen protectors because they are a bitch to put on. But i also take care of my phone and nothing else goes in that pocket. My note 4 lasted a long time and only reason i upgraded was because it was starting to have issues with certain apps and kept crashing. 

I consider a tempered glass screen protector a must have. Probably as much to prevent the scratches that accumulate as protection from drops. I see people with cracked phone screens every day and it would drive me nuts.

ive never cracked one of my screens. My brother has gone through a phone every 6-8 months. Even using otterbox he manages to break it.

I got the Asus rog strix 2080ti, but haven't had a good chance to play with it yet. It is in my PC though. 

[jasonc_01]

A guy at works friend got a call from Nvidia to return his rtx 2080 last week. 

[suicidalfranco]

All I want is 1080ti level of performance in the 300 to 400 bucks price bracket anyway

 

Spoiler

Preferably from AMD, cause my main OS is Ubuntu

Without official numbers from Nvidia and/or board partners, it is hard to know how widespread this is. This is just anecdotal evidence.

 

Perhaps people are complaining more than usual because of the steep price and supply constraints? With any other card, you would just RMA and get a new one easily, and not complain so much?

 

Or perhaps they are dying in record numbers. Who knows. In any case, without some hard numbers here, this is hardly news.

I thought they said that about the samsung note as well personaly I been Nvidia user for over 20 years I hope it is not soo but its up to the users and the press to find out the truth and a story has to start somewhere. or Nvidia will just try and sweep it under the rug

I just got my EVGA 2080 TI FTW3 today....fingers crossed it does better than the FE cards have been.  So far so good...

I like how people come in here to gloat at the misfortune of others. I feel like since some people couldn't afford it or justify the cost you think that is a valid reason to come in here and poke fun at others expense.

 

Two words - GROW UP!

Or don't be a tool and fork out ridiculous prices so that you can gloat about being an "early adopter" for a product with marginal performance gains that can't even be fully utilized or tested by a third party in any reasonable time frame.

I can't believe how bad this generation of cards have been. Besides the 970 thing, they are been fairly flawless with their cards the past several years.
Makes AMD's vega launch not look so bad.

3.5gb thing wasnt even close to what people made it out to be

the card performed right behind the 980 in all categories

and now we really dont have a real clue of the rma numbers

tool? having the best product out there for what 1200 bucks? might be a lot to you but some blow that in a hour at a casino, 

2080ti clearly over takes the 1080ti

the 2080 is kinda iffy but if spending near the same money you should get 2080 over 1080ti considering which card will get the optimizations as more drivers release?

Looks like somebody pre-ordered a 2000 series card.

Paying anything above zero dollars for a product that can't be tested is foolish and niave.

 

The price being far above what any other consumer grade graphics card to date has cost and my "apparent" ability to afford it is completely irrelevant.

 

This and I'm not even going to touch that price to performance ratio.

 

It's awful on all fronts when you look at it without rose colored glasses.

It's actually really not. If I have an issue immediately, then I can return it. If I have an issue down the road, then I can RMA it. If the company refuses to cooperate (which is pretty rare unless you did something wrong), then I contact my credit card company and they take care of it. The only person that gets hurt by me not pre-ordering/buying something on day one is myself.

Not everyone -- or even most people for that matter -- care about "price-to-performance".

cant be tested? 2080ti 2080 and 2070 all have been tested just dlss and rt cant (which they cant do all themselves but bringing an rt card to market is the first step into the direction been over it on many directx versions)and your belief on preorders is your belief ryzen got to do preorders but that was ok right even with their issues

 

and costs lol titans were released at 1k plus and they were what pretty much same 30% over top card out

and 2nd pascal titan was what over 1080ti in performance and still 1200

people still bought them all

Ignorance is bliss ain't it?

 

News flash, the lower teir value cards with the best "price-to-performance" grossly outsell the high end for both AMD and nvidia. If your argument is going to revolve around what matters to the majority you might want to look at the sales numbers before you rant on looking like an idiot.

 

I'll leave it at that. No point continuing my involvement in this discussion when you clearly have no idea what you are talking about and would rather spout nonsense out of your ass.

Cheaper cards selling better than more expensive cards is VERY different than caring about price to performance. If price to performance was such a high priority, then Nvidia wouldn't be the most common GPU vendor -- yet they are.

 

You can buy a cheaper card (or no card) while not caring about price to performance if you know you will only ever run Minesweeper. Not to mention the fact that most people can't afford to spend $1200 on a GPU, but significantly more can afford to spend $200.

So new tech comes out, has issues? Like this hasn’t been a trend in history. Last gen nvidia are still whooping amd hair dryers, so no reason to buy anything new right now.

Well, that made for a good laugh...

 

You do realize that these "features" were what the entire marketing ploy nvidia put out revolved around, right?

 

When you exclusively brag about a feature set and even rename the series of cards after it yet there's no way to implement it in any such meaningful way that validates the additional cost or even the existence of said feature that's a massive failure.

[tuunade98]

I got the asus rog strix 2080ti, what do you guys reckon I should use o benchmark it to check for any defects. Something that should really show the defects, as I do not have alot of time these days to game for long hours.

did some extensive reading on this, most of the problems seems to be limited to the 2080 ti FE, AIB cards could just be "normal" failure rate of new tech, but these cards haven't been out long, so there could be hidden triggers that kills the cards still to come (i wouldn't bet on it though)

funny you only take part of the quote especially directx

 

why would devs make a game with rt with no support hardware wise?

hope you realize many devs have been pushing for rt for long ass time now

and now nvidia is suppose to spit out the games so show how it works? or devs are suppose to spit them out too?

or should nvidia have told all these companies they are doing rt and gave them early samples so shit can get completely leaked before release?

 

only failure I see here is your understanding how things work

Where did you see someone gloat? I have seen people come to these forums excited about their new purchases. Things like "wow look what I just got! or "look at these benchmark scores" These are not gloating, just people excited about their purchase... this is a positive thing.

 

Now seeing an article about cards failing and coming to these forums and using it as a way to point and laugh at others. This IS gloating, gloating at others misfortune and it is a NEGATIVE thing.
