Finally!  Received my new GTX 1080. NON EVGA!  And finally I was able to complete a complete level of Doom with 0 errors!!
 

Congrats on getting a proper example of a 1080.  I went the same route as you and have not had a single issue.

Did ya'll pay the 15% "restocking" fee and all that to return your EVGA one? 

It has not exceeded 1860mhz? That is really odd, a boost of 2025mhz like your old card had is totally normal, not exceeding 1860 would be considered weird if anything.

Also, I forgot to mention to the othet guy who asked, when I play I always have Vsync on so framerate doesnt go above 60 meaning it's not caused by high fps.

No way. Card was defective..Newegg gave me store credit. No problem.  This new card is from MSI and runs super fast and super cool, I couldn't be happier! It was fun with EVGA but now I am in the MSI camp. Good luck everyone.

Gotcha. I bought mine directly from EVGA, so I might be SOL. :\

I ordered through Newegg as well.....they refunded the full purchase price rather than replace.  interestingly I tried twice to review the card and neither time did my review post.  I was actually quite complimentary of the cards build quality and EVGA giving it three stars even with all the issues I encountered though apparently wasn't good enough for manufacturers/EVGA tech support.

Sucks because it's my first EVGA card, and because no one has even commented on the issue, I'm definitely going to think twice before coming back. 

I've owned 4 others in the last 10 years or so......of the 5 including the 1080 FTW I've had two fail.  When my 260 failed EVGA replaced it no problem.  I really liked my 980FTW.....great card for my purposes.

If it's a defective card which it obviously is they shouldn't charge any restocking fee to give you your money back. If they do I would fight them for it.

I have a month, so we'll see what developments, if any, arise. :P
