Still going strong since I purchased it around Xmas. 
 
I know a few others that are still going with no issue since release.
 
Keep in mind, majority of the time people who have issues will become vocal while working GPUs you won't hear a thing about, which are the majority.

Very true, but when you have a $1200+ card that has a lot of big techtubers like UFD, Gamers nexus, and linus talking about it. It does tend to make you rather cautious. Especially when the card costs more then the entire rest of your system combined including a 1080. Right now im still on the fence because of those videos.

Plus im still torn between the XC2 and the FTW3 gaming as well. The XC2 seems to clock higher but the FTW3 has 3 fans.

I hear ya.  I think some of those other places will bring up any rumors just because. It's great for clicks and to talk about something to fill in their time spots without official evidence.  It's like fake news. 

As for the XC2 and FTW3.  FTW3 has a beefed up VRM power section, higher base clock speeds, better cooler with 3 fans.  It's basically a supped up XC2 on a bigger PCB with all the things I mentioned.
 
Don't confuse the two FTW3 versions.  One is the standard one FTW3 (Ultra + higher clock speeds) and the other FTW3 (Gaming) is on the same PCB with a lower clocked chip.  Obviously most go with the higher clocked version but some will go with the lesser on a budget basis.
 
With the XC2 on sale atm (don't forget to use a associate code like mine below in my signature to get 5% discount on top of the current discounted price), I could see why this is a difficult decision but going with the XC2, won't be a bad idea actually and honestly, if you're not into high/extreme OC'ing and benching, the difference between the two won't be that much, maybe a few FPS higher dependent on the OC achieved but again, not a huge difference to worry about.

I think many people were experiencing problems with the 2080Ti because they were running it on aircooling, probably with bad airflow in the case, which allowed the card to ramp up on temperatures.
 
Even if the card is designed to work at high temperatures, it's known that high temperatures and longevity of electronical components dont go well together.
 
So i suggest if you buy one consider watercooling it properly with a 360 rad if you can. Even if you've never watercooled anything before a lot of experienced watercoolers like Jack can explain what you need to do step by step. Once you know what to do it's kinda simple actually.
 
Otherwise you can buy an hybrid kit but that wont be as good as a proper custom watercooling ;)

I have not had any issues with my RTX 2080ti, most of those reports were largely exaggerated... Channels like UFD are part of the issue, guy is a joke and spreads false information. Gamer's Nexus is one of the only YouTube Tech Channels that I take seriously. He mostly reports on facts and when speculating clearly states that he is. I have not seen where he has jumped on the "RTX cards are failing by the 1,000's bandwagon" like other channels *cough* *cough* UFD.

Same here. Had mine since release in later October and still running strong. My card does have Micron memory, but it's also a FTW3. 
 
I think that whole thing was overblown. Wasn't it something like 2% of all 2080 Ti cards were dying?

I purchased mine around November of last year...Micron memory. No issues.

Same Here and Same Time Frame

Here is the Other Thread Are the 2080 TI Issues fixed?

Sure will be nice to replace my 1080 that has been having all kinds of issues for a while now if nothing else. Though im unlikely to upgrade for another 3 years after this.

But yea seriously though i think ill enjoy it. It can drive the new valve index on ultra settings 90 fps has the tensor cores which im sure will be used in more then just RT going forward the EVGA warranty which is honestly the main attraction to me. And lets me get a 4k screen to suppliment my 144hz one.

I made sure to watch a few reviews on it first as well and on most cards i saw it compared to, they can get maybe .2-.5 more fps for $200+ more on base and boost clocks and at best 3-10 more on OC until you get to kingpin range. Figure this is the sweet spot.

Maybe but at least this card will be under warranty unlike my 1080 whos warranty expired last year leaveing me with a dying card and no options but replace it.

I got 2 of them running on 2 different computers and had 1 since October and 1 since December. 1 is watercooled and the other 1 is on aircooling.

I have an odd artifacting issues which has happened on 3 2080ti cards so far including a brand new Kingpin card. Said artifacting does not occur with a 1080ti plugged into the system.
 
There's some slight artifacting/pixelation which occurs only on loading screens for some games for a split second (or Fallout 76 on occasion when pressing m to open the map). Basically a small line of white/colored pixels will pop somewhere on the bottom left or bottom right of the screen. It's different from the "space invaders" artifacts and flashing red/yellow orb artifacts which my first 2080ti I RMA'd would constantly display when running anything 3d or even on windows desktop.
 
The loading screen artifacts are an extremely minor issue in my opinion, but I wonder if this is what people have been experiencing when reporting artifacting believing that their card is dying versus actual space invaders artifacting or glowing red/blue/yellow flashing orb artifacting?
 
I've noticed it a lot less with the Kingpin card, but still seems to be some kind of general issue with 20 series cards. Also wondering if it is an issue with running a 4k display at 120Hz or an issue with my displayport monitor cable but that wouldn't explain why I can never reproduce the issue with a 1080ti in the system.

I would go for the better cooling solution to avoid thermal throttle. 

It's hit or miss. I've had to send in 2 cards for RMA so far. One lasted about 3 months and the other 90ish days. Upside is that the RMA process is pretty easy and fast.
 
Fingers cross this 3rd one doesn't die.

I am on my 4th 2080 ti, only one of them died and it was a asus strix. rest of them have been fine

I've been using my FTW3 Ultra since the end of November and had no problems so far.
