Hi Fellows,

I ordered a MSI RTX 2080 Ti GAMING X TRIO.
It is a card that got send back by a customer or where the delivery was not succesfull (unused but maybe with opened packaging stated by the shop).

"Many" cards had issues with the memory, even though the RMA of 2080 ti's was stated as +- 1.5% by retailer CaseKing in Germany.
First it was said FE cards with early Micron memory were faulty, afterwards i heard also third party cards with all memory brands are affected.

The card only has 6 months of warranty, should i worry in case it has Micron memory? I have 15 days to send it back
Do these faulty cards die within the first week of use or are there cards with the same issue who die much later, is there a way i can find out fast if it is fault? Per example by overlocking the memory.

Thanks in advance for the expertise
