Been using the GeForce GTX Titan for nearly about 2 years (almost 3) in my custom built rig. Been playing rather nicely until about 2 days ago when it suddenly decided to shut off. I assumed at first it was a power supply issue switching out my Corsair for a new one but I quickly found the same 'power' issue. I cycled the reset button my motherboard to see if I could get it to boot hearing a strange electric chirp from the power supply. About the 4th time I pressed the reset button I noticed the smoke coming out the end of my graphics card. Unplugging the power cables and removing it from the PCI slot the PC finally booted up. Breaks my heart to put a little short of 7k into a custom rig to have one of the most expensive pieces suddenly up and die so close to the warranty ending.
 
I suppose what I am asking is if this is a common problem people have encountered?
Is there a way to use the P/N or S/N to look up when the warranty expires? I bought my parts using PCPartPicker and I don't have a record of most the parts I bought.
Is there any suggestions on how to go about getting RMA? The process looks complex enough and while I am still looking for my sales receipt. I suspect that it WON'T be easily found, if at all.

If you can not find the receipt you are covered from the day it left EVGA's warehouse to you or to the place you bought it from.
Best bet is to call cust service and they can tell you by the serial number how much warranty is left.
If you have not already, register the card so you can get warranty service

Whats wrong with these new cards! It seems like they are going bad so quickly e.g 1080Ti Kingpins, Titan X's

Thats why I have MSI Afterburner on 100% fan speed, plus having heatsinks on the top memory, plus a fan specifically flowing over the top of the card, plus having a string holding the card straight, plus having the air conditioner blowing into the front of my case.
All of which should not be needed except something to keep it straight, since it is so heavy.
Welcome to the club of 'it dies RIGHT before, at, or after the warranty is up.
But, you are lucky, some of us had to go through crazy things to even get the stupid card to work in the first place.
:(
 
Sorry for you, and I hope the warranty is still in so you can get a replacement.

It does seem like a lot, but of the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands? maybe millions?, of these cards sold, I don't think it is a high percentage that fail. I would think 5%-7% fail after a few years is normal.
When I look at new products, I expect to see 10% of the people say they do not like it, it failed soon or was DOA.
If 80% really like it, 10% say its OK and 10% has issues, it seems par for the course and I'll buy it. When 25% give 1 star I stay away.
 
We see a lot of these my card died, smoked, does not work right because we are at EVGA site and most people do not come her to post my card is working great.
I have 2 GTX 980Ti and I gave my granddaughter my GTX970 they are still working good, the TitanX I sold to someone is still working good. Who really knows.
