RTX 2080 Ti Owners Complain of Defects, Nvidia Responds

That's what capacitors are for. If the card is yanking that hard on current and voltage, then IMHO the cards should be having larger cans surface mounted.

Idk, i do remember another dude on reddit having problem with multi-rail PSUs with Vega64 because of insane spikes.
Forgot to add the link to the thread with the bullzoid comment and where the dude switched PSUs and the GPU stopped causing problems:

I'm not sure if it would help short of changing out the PSU. But Corsair does sell PCIe cables with in-line 330uF 16V capacitor.

https://www.corsair.com/us/en/ACC-Series/ACC-Color/premium-individually-sleeved-pcie-cables-with-dual-connectors-type-4-generation-3-config/p/CP-8920183.

At the very least, would reduce some stress on both the GPU and PSU.

Don't know if anyone else has mentioned this, but its pretty sad that these early adopters didn't even get to try out the main feature of these cards before they died.

Give it 24-48hrs and it will be Trump's or Putin's fault that these 2080ti's are failing, not Nvidia's for putting to much power onto a non-secure board that can't handle the heat.

I have had my 2080 ti FE cards for a couple weeks. Also 3 of my friends also got their cards around this same time. None of us had a single issue. They are all running perfect.
I believe you are just hearing from small vocal minority out of tens of thousands of units sold.

Yeah if I spent that much on a GPU and if crashed and burned I'd be vocal too. Hey the squeaky wheel get the grease.

One of the rewards for early adopters, like Tom's recommended.

My Asus Strix 2080 (not TI) just died two days ago, might be unrelated but i get purple dots when booting up and refuses to load the driver in windows. started crashing during gameplay about two weeks ago, also gets seriously hot like barely touchable hot just idling in windows. My poorly two cents worth says that the problem is with whatever part regulates and controls temperature. another thing I noticed is the fans spin-up when powering the system then stop during windows load and don't spin-up again even though the card is cooking.

Hopefully the RMA process will give you another revision where that problem has been fixed.

For everyone else, I suggest checking if a video card BIOS / firmware update I available from the vendor's website.

I blame Trump!
