This is not a poll to show failure vs good.
It is not to suggest there is a huge failure rate. 
This is a poll to have a central place on this forum to report..
  • 3080 or 3090 Failed Card
  • Origin of Card
  • Power Connection Used
  • Multiple RMA Failures
  • Successful RMA
Failed Cards Poll  https://www.easypolls.net/poll.html?p=5fef66fae4b01140b9f9833b
 
CURRENT RESULTS as of 4/10/2021
 
253 Failed cards (includes 43 RMA failures but not multiple RMA Failures)
69% of bad cards reported are 3090 (not including any RMA Failures)
68% with data for origin came from Taiwan
88% of the 150 cards with data for power delivery, claimed to have used dedicated cables.
53% of cards with data for RMA, but not including multiple RMA, also failed.

My 3090 FTW3 Ultra Black Trim is currently working without issue.  I personally had my 3090 FTW3 Ultra on a 650 Thermaltake and daisy chained for a few weeks without an issue related. Any other issue I had was addressed in a driver update. I knew I was pushing my luck as far as eventually causing reboots when gaming hard,  so I swapped out for a 750 I had on hand, also daisy chained and no issues. I finally purchased a 1000 watt and running dedicated power to each port. I think my experience with a PSU below specs and daisy chained, along with the poll results showing plenty of failures when providing dedicated power to each port, shows that the PSU and daisy chaining is not the issue.

    Although this poll does not allow me the control needed for input requirements, it is at least starting to show some information. At that time of this reply it looks like 23 dead, more 3090 than 3080 and more cards from Taiwan than China. Also appears that more are using 3 power cables vs daisy chain. I probably should have put more choices that linked data but at least it is showing us something.

    Would be nice to have also included cards that did not fail and model class. Actually would be nice to see the driver version they installed as well but that really is a lot I suppose. Kinda of a cool idea even though it will only be a sliver of those who actually obtained a card and actually poll.
     
    For the record have both 3080 and 3090 (both FTW ULTRAS) and have had no issues but both also running at stock on dedicated rails. Running 457.30 and P 1.1. I will update eventually but with these cards if it's working I don't want to push it and with new drivers when I know it's already stable.

    I don't think the post alludes to the fact that it will.. but then you always have someone who wants to say something just to say it ;)

    The link to the poll is there. You can easily make one yourself. Having said that, this poll was made to attempt getting a number of failed cards owned by members, how power was delivered to the card, origin of the card and if they had issues with the replacement..   You know kind of like the choices given in the poll ;)   It was made because I saw a thread where someone attempted to find specific information, and the thread with flooded with information opposite of what was being sought.

    Is this the same issue as the first bad card?

    3080 FTW3 Ultra SN 2014 from Taiwan red lips still working after 20 days of intensive gaming. Clocked 60h on Cyberpunk. There doesn't seem to be a pattern for these cards. They just die or not

    Can you add to the poll or make a new one to ask if people are using daisy chained power cables please?

    No offense but why keep on buying them if they don't run on your system? Isn't the other 7 of your 3090's enough for you? Be happy that even got 7 other cards working.

    Those with wanton fiscal responsibility(interpreted) are not any less owed a quality product from a (once) quality brand. If you buy 12 EVGA FTW3s to four way SLI in three systems, you should not be content with any failure just because you are lost and confused by the possibility:pragmatism curve.

    So I know this polling is not 100% accurate but as it stands at the time of this post...
     
    38 reported successful 
    36 reported failed  (includes reported rma replacment failure but not multiple replacement failures)
    20 out of the 30 failed are 3090
    15 out of 20 are from Taiwain (some data missing. likely owner could not determine so did not answer)
    20 out of 23 who entered power option were using dedicated power cables, not daisy chain
    Only a total of 10 responses on RMA replacement being good or bad and that is tied, however some have had multiple replacements go bad but cannot reflect that in poll

    Even though I appreciate Transparency this will never be near accurate. 
     
    The Majority of People who check here are People who came on the forums because they have Issues. People who dont have any Problems dont bother about this. 
     
    Yes you can use the Numbers to compare whats causing an Issue but not to find out how many of Evga Cards faile

    It was not made to try and find out how many failures existed. It was made to have a central location on this forum to track failures that are reported here and to find any trend that might exist between the failures. The Success Poll was added because people asked for it, so they can later complain that it is not accurate because only people who have failing cards come to the forum ;)

    So as it stands, at least based off the information available to us here, we have about 100 cards reported total with 60% going strong and the rest being failures. We all know that outside the realm of this forum, there is no way that success / failure rate is even close or it would be in the news. But we do know that of the cards that have died, it appears most were from Taiwan and most users seem to be using dedicated power cables for each block on the card.
     
    41 Failed cards (including first RMA failure but not multiple)
    About 50% of those are 3090
    Over 50% originated Taiwan
    About 80% used dedicated power for each block
    At least 9 of the RMA replacements also failed (not including multiple RMA failure)
     
    60 reported owners total with cards still kicking and its fairly equal between 3080 an 3090
     
    83% find polls are useful and accurate
    17 %.... your vote does not count because by your own vote you have stated that the results will be neither accurate nor usefull ;)

    Really nice job with taking the effort in doing this poll.

    Thanks. Might not be helping anything but at least it is showing some info. One thing is shows is the theory that more people with dead cards frequent these forums is not necessarily true since we have more success votes than failures.

    Updated the results in original post. We have nearly 147 total cards reported between both polls. About 54% of those are working cards leaving 46% as failures, not including members that have had more than one RMA fail on them.

    LOL @ anyone thinking a card would fail because of a daisy chained power cable.
