Evga sent my 2. replacement with UPS express. 1 day from Germany to Norway! So that was quite nice. The replacement card was new as promised. Im at work now so i wont be available to test it untill later tonight.

Did you have to send in your card first? Shipping costs? and did you have to do any safety/pre payment for them to do it?

I did the advanced RMA the first time. and got the second card before sending back the first. I paid a collateral to do this. which has now been refunded. 
 
Sad thing is the replacement card i got from the advanced RMA also had the 100% BS error. So i sent both cards back and they expressed shipped me a new one. 
 
They covered all shipping and were very helpfull on email during the whole thing.
 

Well I have my 2nd replacement GTX 1080 Hybrid FTW and it looks like this card is perfect thus far, minus the fact that it doesn't like the overclock that the other two cards had on the core ( causes some games to freeze, may just be the games ).  Regardless I am happy this long issue is over.  Good luck to the others still going through this process and thanks again Chris @ EVGA for all your help!

Yes, sorry. That's the link. I looked away after I clicked submit and missed that the link was removed. You shall now be called CorrectionShaman.

Maybe im just being overly cautious but he's the American spokesperson. After waiting on Amazons backorder list for 2 months I tweeted him several times asking when the EU was going to get any stock. Every time he said '"next week" but it never came. (Something made all the more frustrating by him tweeting out "More stock at Newegg now!" 2-3 times a week) 
Eventually he admitted "Sorry, I don't have much to do with the EU side"
 
So TL:DR I'll take his assurances with a grain of salt till I have an FTW in my hands (or better yet, in my PC) that doesn't 100% BS.
 
My 3rd card is scheduled to arrive on Thursday. I'll let you know how it goes

Just had a chat with a nice chap at EU EVGA. He said that a new batch of cards that came in got labelled up incorrectly, which resulted in many people getting a 2nd or 3rd faulty card. He assured me I would receive a factory sealed retail card, brand new, without the defect. He offered a UPS pick up or if I wanted to ship it myself, they will refund me up to 40 Euros for shipping costs. 
 
Like the poster above I am nervous about receiving another dodgy card. This will be my 3rd card now and if it isn't right this time, I don't know what I'm going to do as the shop I bought it from (CCL Computers UK) will not refund me as they couldn't replicate the problem in testing, which I think is rubbish.  

Jordanluke they couldn't replicate the problem in testing, which I think is rubbish.  

Benchmarks doesn't trigger it, and IIRC stress testing doesn't either. Doubt any store will try gaming as a way of reproducing the error.
