My Evga 2080 ti SC Ultra will be here tomorrow. I am kinda worried after seeing this. I may return it for a different brand. Plus I will need to pay extra for next day rma just in case something like that happens.

1 in thousands. Can happen to any brand.

I get that, let see how EVGA handles it.

I don’t think the plates caused that. We will probably never get an exact answer unfortunately

Who's knows, maybe EVGA will post their Finding here.

I can say this is an isolated case right now. We have already been in contact with the user and a replacement board is on the way. We are getting that board back to identify the root cause.

Damn!... Good that they're taking care. Hopefully it's a crosship. ^^

Awesome, that's good to hear. I am glad Evga is making sure to examine the card personally. Evga please post what you find.

Good news if it's an isolated case :)
I mount the 2080ti XC Ultra this week end

things like this happen
DEC alpha supercomputer I used at work went in smoke right in front of me.
its price was few ten million dollars and was shocking seen and couldn't move.
NO2 fire extinguisher went off and I came back and ran out of the room.
it was due to bad capacitor which short circuited and burned.
pretty common said the DEC guys.
 
 
 

I think that is not isolated case.
Someone's Asus 2080TI tubro is burned in same place too.
Maybe the fault of NV designed PCB....

2 cases would still be isolated. If it continues to happen, then it wouldn’t be considered isolated. We very well could end up seeing more of this, but it depends on the quantity of cards versus the amount sold overall.
