For those who have RMA'ed:
 
Some have said the issue occured again, others have said its fixed.
 
Can RMA'ed users confirm once and for all its fixed??

some people RMA'ed before the official fix so they got another one with the issue. If you RMA after 8/30, then it is pretty much guaranteed it will not have black screen.

Just called EVGA and they said the black screen & 100% fan is a hardware problem. Nothing to do with software. So if you have this issue, go RMA. if it occurred again, go RMA, again.

Who said the issue occurs again? It is for sure fixed on any RMA on/after 8/30.

so after a bunch more tests and installing un installing and installing again of various software  gpu drivers, msi afterbunrer and precision xoc i am still getting a crash after about 90 mins of gameplay on witcher 3 and stock clock, black screen and 100 % fan, put it in de bug mode ran for about 2 hours with no crash will play some more tomorrow but i think im gonna have to rma i think.  Any thoughts
 
BTW using evga 1080 ftw stock clock speed was 199x and in debug mode dropped top 1860

Tried my replacement today for a couple of hours on multiple games and some benchmarking. No black screen. Clock stays at 2030ish. Good on my end.

Anyone know of a way to test this synthetically?

You need to RMA, do not keep a defective card.

 
Well, registered cards, made the call, made Advanced RMA for the cards. This feels good, painless (well accept for having defective cards ).
