RTX 2080ti owners : Are you worried?

[i_build_nanosuits]

With all those cards crapping out...getting BSOD...locked at low clockspeed etc.

Are you worried about your cards going faulty on you?

I want to have a pulse of what's going on inside users minds...

thanks for your imput!

As with every other issue spread on the internet it has been blown way out of proportion.

oooo i would disagree on that...there is an increasingly alarming number of users reporting major issues all over reddit, youtube, facebook etc.

 

Even gamersnexus has a fuc'd up 2080ti

thats a horrible way to find out reliability. People don't talk about their working gpus, only the broken ones. 

 

Do you have good numbers on this?

from GN on this, their industry contacts hasn't seen out of the ordinary number of RMA requests.

Don't need to look really far...youtube is full of these videos now:

Yeah, what do you expect when hundreds of thousands of people buy literally ALL the stock that's available before the cards were even released...

More cards = more failures/issues.

As with literally every other product on the market.

Of course youtubers are going to make 10 videos each on it because that's what pays the bills.

just cause there is a youtube video or a few doesn't mean its common.

 

Do you have good numbers on this? Youtube videos are a horrible sample.

[i_build_nanosuits]

ALRIGHT so people who do not own RTX 2080ti AREN'T worried about it...fine.

Now, as the title said,...actuall people who paid stupid amount of money for this, are you worried?

cause that's the point of this thread.

It's almost as if you have forgotten what happens pretty much every other GPU release...?

Plenty of issues almost every release.

 

A lot of them are from people who's OS hasn't been clean installed in a long time and has some strange behaviour with the new hardware, sometimes a person doesn't clean install the GPU drivers properly, sometimes the drivers themselves have problems with certain hardware configurations (which is what the GN BSOD video you mentioned is about).

 

Do you not remember when the 900 series was getting black screens and sometimes corrupting the OS? That was a driver issue and was eventually patched.

Same thing happening right now, it is mainly multi-monitor configurations causing problems.

 

 

The only real issue with the cards that I've heard about is VRM (or was it vram?) running too hot and causing artifacting and failures on certain GPUs that don't have the heatsink contacting specific places. Remind you of anything? amd 200 series maybe?

 

Other than that, it's just the regular amount of software issues that eventually get fixed by a clean install of the GPU drivers/OS or by an eventual driver update from nvidia.

 

 

Typical viral "huge issue!11!1!" spread on the internet.

nope. i got mine for cheap. if space invaders show up i'm just gonna rma, ask for an upgrade to ftw, and that'll be that, ill just sit on a 1060 or 970 for a few more weeks playing less intensive backlogs. 

 

tech jesus has confirmed that the RTX cards does not like gsync on some monitors and does not like duo monitors while gaming. I'm hoping the space invaders are 1 bad batch, and it's only on reference pcb.

 

Currently have a +200core/-60mem "oc" on mine just to be safe (damn micron)

[xAcid9]

Have yet to see any user from LTT having bad card but my local forum had 2 faulty 2080 Ti and one 2080. 

Both Ti's is FE and 2080 is MSI Duke.

[GamerDude]

So far, my Palit card is working as expected, with boost clock at up to 2010MHz....even if my card were to go belly up, I'm covered with 3 years of warranty

[xg32]

I have to add, instead of editing on original post, my second monitor flashes once every 2 minutes or so probably due to the duo monitor thing, no issue with gaming at all so far, idles 50C with fans off, doesnt hit 70 on load (nvm just noticed the fan curve was at 100% approaching 70C)

[TahoeDust]

I'm not worried.  It seems to be affecting mostly FE cards and similar,  I have not seen hardly any custom PCB cards having issues.  The card is a monster.

Hmm you want to know what's in my mind about the rtx 2080ti......

Here *opens up skull*

Die, die, die you damn 2080tis that's all you do!!!! When I get you back from Steve you're going to be sold off after nvidia fixes you

This does seems like a huge issue compared to the 900 series, cards getting artifacts just after short use, clocks freezing,failing VRM's, a $1,000+ gpu not working with an $800+ Gsync monitor? Thats a really rough launch on top of people pre-ordering these 2080Ti's to only have their orders delayed. Its disappointing that the 1080Ti's are being discontinued since those work out of the box.

Clearly you were not around when the 900 series launched...

People made a massive deal about a slow .5GB of vram.

Eventually the internet forgets about it, they just like jumping on the drama.

i'd say the 970 felt worse, coilwhine on alot of them, (i did not return mine with coil whine, great overclocker) 3.5gb ram, and they'd have more people buying the 970 compared to the 2080 ti, naturally more complaints, the ONLY issue with the RTX series is the space invaders showing up (ram), if nvidia did confirm the issue they'd likely have to deal with samsung as people would stay away from micron cards. The issue can very well be solved already with tighter binning on the gddr6. It could be limited to one batch of cards, fingers crossed. 

 

PS i can't believe the most recent driver is nearly a month old WTF nvidia.

[Hunter-97-G]

I am worried by the fact people are actually paying 1200 dollars for a consumer GPU. If this becomes the standard for high end cards I'm done.

[Nexxus]

Nope! mine already died

That's people people are profiting on the drama, this is normal... YouTube follows trends that people are into so they can cash in that sweet ad money.

 

I'm not one bit worried as my card has been working 100% fine with no signals of any issue for almost a month now.

[TheNaitsyrk]

It's the G-Sync dysplay causing issues, essentially drivers aren't optimised for it (IRONY), and we're getting BSODs related to driver issues. I turned G-Sync off and high refresh and boom, no more BSODs.

 

I e-mailed Steve from GamersNexus and he thanked me for the input. I'll still checking for other things that may cause BSODs and stuff however.

Well my card is also with Steve and mine is even better then yours 

It died in my display system just displaying Battlefield 1

I just hope Steve can find the problem then I'm going to RMA it.

I had a Gigabyte gtx 970 with some annoying coil whine, but it worked fine for the 2 years i had mine. Nvidia needs to get a driver update out to fix the gsync bug, i'd be kinda annoyed if a $1,200 card weren't optimized for it.  Although if the VRAM issue is down to the gddr6 and not a bug in the gpu I couldn't really blame Nvidia since gddr6 is new and could just be an early batch of ram.

That gtx 970 argument i was around for, IIRC it was kinda over blown for most use cases of it as a 1080P card the .5GB of VRAM didn't get used or at least not very often.
