Can't see many reports on the forum here so have the EVGA 20 series cards been immune so far to the reports of artifacting and BSOD on other cards?

    From what I have been following on this topic is that many of the BSODs are monitor combo issues. Most often with duel screens.

    Those and several other BSOD issues have evidently been corrected with the newest drivers from Nvidia.

    I don't know one way or another about the artifacting.

    For what it's worth, I've had no issues with my Ti XC ultras on 3 screens.

    Any card can have issues but EVGA has one of the best return programs of something does go wrong. That said you often hear the people with an issue complain loud and often in a lot of different forums. So I wouldn’t be surprised to see the same person complaining on a games forums, the vendor website and a few hardware sites if they have an issue inflating the issue. I personally would check across multiple vendors before reaching a conclusion.

    Monitor combo issues meaning, mixed screens. Different types of refresh rates, resolutions or one g-sync one not.

    Not all monitor mix ups would cause it either, but many combos where reproducable.

    Go watch the recent videos on YouTube from Gamers Nexus on the subject. It looks like it affects mostly the reference boards

    FTW3 here...my only complaints are software related.  The hardware is very impressive and has been rock solid.  It absolutely crushes games at 3440x1440 100Hz+.

    Seems to be mostly reference cards but any new tech can have issues. I believe evga has 3 year warranty.

    EVGA commented gamersnexus Video a few days ago
     

    Hi everyone. Yes, we are aware of this particular card and are working to find the root cause of the issue. We have already offered a replacement card to the owner so we can investigate this issue further. From our experience, to have this occurrence out of the box is extremely rare, and actually the only known case today on RTX 2080 Ti that could not be resolved with a firmware reflash. Please know that if you are concerned, have questions, or have an issue our 24/7 Customer Service is standing by at 888-880-3842 or support@evga.com.
     
     
    Update: It appears the issue has been resolved with a firmware reflash, however we are still working to find the root cause on our side, the replacement card is on the way to the customer now.

    They seem to be on top of issues. I would not worry but I would sell an old card right away.

    Not necessarily... I've got a brand spankin' new 2080 XC Ultra driving a Dell 27 Gaming Monitor: S2716DG. I have the latest drivers and I'm getting BSOD regularly (though looks to be d3d related). However, I just ordered an Asus PG278QR and will test that out as well and see if the same thing is happening. Regardless, there's a lot of people out there with issues, more so than I can ever remember at an Nvidia launch; I've been building for 20yrs.
     
    *Note my Asus VG278HE still doesn't work properly with the 2080 XC Ultra (capped at 60hz, when it's a TFT Active Matrix which supports 144hz) *Need to go back to active matrix, too bad monitor companies don't do this any more.

    Hope you test it out and let us know because I also run the same 27" dell with x2 Asus 24" 1080p 60hz side screens for surround (Desktop surround, not gaming) and looking to buy a 2080 Ti.

    Any card can have issues but EVGA has one of the best return programs of something does go wrong. That said you often hear the people with an issue complain loud and often in a lot of different forums. So I wouldn’t be surprised to see the same person complaining on a games forums, the vendor website and a few hardware sites if they have an issue inflating the issue. I personally would check across multiple vendors before reaching a conclusion.

    Stats online are usually stacked against companies. That being said, there have seemingly been a few valid complaints.
