How long will it take to find out if i have faulty cards or not?

Should be able to determine if you have bad cards in about an hour of gaming.

Hello,



Both of your cards were shipped from our warehouse on 8/25/2016. What exactly do you mean by tweaking them for high performance? Are you actively overclocking the cards? If so, overclocking can cause the cards to become unstable and only the factory OC clocks can be guaranteed. If the issue only happens when overclocking beyond the stock clock speeds, then this may be a limitation of the specific chip."

Not good.. before Aug 30th when the fix was made. What would the odds be if there both free of the black screen?? Slim. Good luck testing them.

Witcher 3 was the gold standard in testing for for the black screen 100% fan issue. Would happen with 3dmark firestrike bench test as well bit not common. Others say just gaming. For me 30 mins or sooner in witcher 3.

Honestly.. if that store can exchange them for 1080 foundation edition cards go for it as the blower style fans are best for sli as it blows the heat out the back of the case insted of in your case.

If wanted it is possable to install the evga hybrid cooler on the fe cards. The hybrid cooler costs like $120? Ea. Same type of cooler as your cpu cooler. Good to buy evga fe 1080s as they don't care if you remove the cooler to water cool. As long as you don't physically damage the cards your warranty is good. With evga.

Most fe cards will run 2050-2100. I know.. I've read all about them and have tested 4 of them.

What monitor though?? 2560x1440 res you may be fine with a single 1080 and safe with 1080 res. Above that and 4k you want 2x 1080.

Damn man it raining bad crap over there! Better check the monitor stats and manual for 60hz. That would hurt of its only 30hz. They sell 30hz 4k monitors still?

What the monitor model? That's a TV right? Oled?

Too many beers at lunch today.. hehe
