I have had the same exact issue with my Titan X's.
I also had 0 money.
I got back 6 BAD cards, and stuck with the 6th one, because it was the LEAST messed up.
But, I also put heatsinks on the backside, have 3 fans dedicated to cooling it, A/C blowing into the case (not needed but it helps keep the temps down more so it wont gout as fast), have a video card holder to keep it straight (bend is VERY bad for a video card), AND I use MSI Afterburner at 100% fan speed when I game.
All of that JUST to play a video game that looks terrible (mesh and color issues, severe pop-in, flickering, white AND black screening, and a whole host of other issues.
I feel for you man.
Maybe an EVGA rep will help you out.
Or, can you scrape enough together for a used card? There are lots of good cards out there, used, that people jumped onto the 1000 or 2000 series bandwagon, and just want a little money for their old card to offset their new card purchase.
