Just got my 3080 XC3 Hybrid today. Didn't work out of the box. Second red led is lit. Have a 850 gold PSU. Works fine with my 1080ti FTW3. Tried everything to get it to work, no go. DOA. Sucks to wait forever and have a card die, to wait forever and have to pay another 45 dollars for advanced RMA.... For those of you hoping the red led of death was fixed with the hybrid cards, it's not.

    While I don't get the light, my 3090 hybrid died 2 minutes into The Division 2. Upon reboot no video output. Managed to make a ticket yesterday. Just like you paid the $45 for advanced RMA.

    At this point I think we need official word from someone at EVGA about these issues. I've been browsing other manufacturers websites and EVGA is the only one that's been having this amount of issues. Something is clearly wrong and we need them to acknowledge it.
     
    For people like me that live outside of the US and direct EVGA support isn't available, this is a nightmare.

    Yeah, after reading this forum and Reddit, it seems like a serious issue with these cards. Hoping we can get some kind of answer for the red light occurrence. What is the exact issue causing this? Cards dying left and right, even coming dead like mine.

    If you guys paid with a good credit card that has damage protection, they might reimburse you that $45

    I figured out the write function of the ticketing system is not accepting my photos. I resized the photos to a smaller res and it worked. Someone needs to update that function to check the size or catch the exception and show a user friendly message that they should upload a smaller file.

    can you reupload those to imgur? I can't see the pictures still
     
     
     
    did your card die because of an AIO leak?

    The pictures are on the first page of this thread. The pictures I was referring to that could not be uploaded were during the ticket creation process, website generated the error on the second photo I shared.

    No leak, just a single red led light in the card. Card does not want to post. No sign of life other than water block circulating.

    Very similar to my experience. Only I don't have a red led and the led logo on the card does turn on. Got step 1 of 3 done for the RMA. Hopefully get the other steps done tomorrow.

    I see a lot of those 3080 / 3090 dying with red led's on this forum (not sure how much % wise). 
    I'm wondering if its only Evga or other brands as well.

    This really needs to be addressed by EVGA.
     
    I'm seeing daily reports of cards dying now, this is no longer just a few outliers which could normally be expected.

    Direct Die 9900K | EVGA 3080 FTW3 Ultra 1950MHZ @ 875Mv | 16GB Corsair Vengeance 3600Mhz DDR4 CL18 | ASUS Strix Z390-I | NCase M1 V6.1

    Why drive on 4 wheels when you can ride on 2.

    Any update from EVGA reps on this?
    Never seen such high rate of identical failures on brand new EVGA cards.
    Faulty component, design flaw, what is it?
