Do you have to RMA your Card Now?

Do you have to RMA your Card Now?

nope my card is still running great as of rite now, i just want to see how many people have had to RMA a card that had Samsung memory, and so far I don't see many

i see a  forum full of people that have RMAed 20 series cards, some people are on their second and third RMA with 20 series cards, and so far only two people have posted about an RMA 20 series card that had Samsung memory,  and one of those had nothing to do with memory interesting,  

I am currently running a 2080TI with Micron memory, its been running great since I received it soon after the 2080ti's were released.  To be fair, the first card I received had artifacts, crashed windows and games etc...  But the replacement has been great!  I don't think the memory was the root cause of the 2080 problems, of course only Nvidia knows and they aren't talking.

Regardless of whether you use an RTX video card from EVGA with Micron or Samsung memory your video card will meet the specs required.

when i asked who has RMAed a RTX 20 Series card with Samsung memory ? it was just meant to be a simple question, to satisfy my own curiosity, not trying to draw any conclusions for anyone,  I was just curious for myself, 

Like someone else said it will be rather hard to get any metrics from a support website as most of us here are either here to ask questions about our hardware, report issues with our hardware, or help others with those two items or just generally hang out posting stuff for the fun of it.  Most end users are never going to come to this forum if they don't fall into those categories.  
 
Look at me.  I have been a member on here since 2009 but a majority of my 62 posts came in the last 2 weeks since I ordered my EVGA 2080Ti FTW3 Ultra Hybrid card.  I came seeking some advise and also since I have been building PC's since 1989 I saw some posts that were interesting or where I could add some advise or ask advise and so here I am still.    
 
Prior to that I have a EVGA SuperNova 1200 P2 in my machine for a few years that has been running like a rock so aside from registering it for the warranty I never came around here.  I think back in 2009 I had a couple GTX 285 SSC cards in SLI and that is when I first created my forum account, I asked a couple questions and never posted on here again for 10 years :)
 
So the point of that whole long winded explanation is people with working stuff normally don't hang out here they can be found on places like Overclockers.net or other like websites.

you said  the point of your long winded explanation is people with working stuff normally don't hang out here, I understand that, I figured most people here have some sort of trouble with their Hardware, my question wasn't if your 20 series card runs great tell me all about it, it was simply, who has RMAed a RTX 20 Series card with Samsung memory ?  this seems like the right place to ask

Yes this is absolutely the right place for your question was just saying even if people RMA their card and the one they got works perfect now, chances are they are not hanging out with us on this forum.   My card did come with Samsung VRAM so if it happens to fail (I will cry, and be really mad) I will let you know (after I cry and regret the $1500 price tag).  

My micron died in 2 months, I see less people with Samsung, but some users passed 4 months already with micron and their cards are working hmmmm what if there is a "time bug" in the memory or a code to brake card  after specific time of usage? What if someone program those cards in production line to just mess with Nvidia? Its like my card was flawless on 27th Feb and in 1st game opened 28th of Feb just died like this? This game wasn't demanding or temps were absolutely fine and there is no visible damage to the card when I used torch to see between heatsink and fins.

Hardforum owner has been doing research into the new rtx cards since the beginning of the issues.. has mentioned it's not a memory issue. There going to be finding the issue soon though. By totally destroying the card to find it.

I find that statement to be patently false..The question skews things from the opening of the gate.
 
Regardless, mine has Micron, had it since November...no issues.
Slapped a hybrid kit on it...still no issues.
 
As someone else said...how many cards with each type of memory are out there? It's all anecdotal if you
don't have the numbers.
 
 Edit: I would be less judgemental if you had asked "Who out there has RMA'd an RTX card..and if you have, what kind of memory did it have?" ..tho
it would STILL be anecdotal without full data

I was most definitely asking a simple question, not making a statement, but thank you anyways for your very helpful input, and yes that was meant to be sarcastic, 

Let's always try to keep in perspective that 100% of the cards at launch had Micron memory. So, assuming that there was an issue in the early batch, and assuming that it wasn't a Micron memory issue, there is no way for us to prove that it wasn't a Micron memory issue since we don't have access to that data. So, it's kind of an easy argument to claim that it was a Micron memory issue since all publicly available data will naturally easily follow the trend of that argument.

Let's say 100,000 cards had a manufacturing defect with the PCB. 100% of those cards had Micron memory. It's easy to blame Micron memory when there is no way to provide evidence to the contrary.

To prove that it is or isn't a Micron memory issue, without any access to confidential data, we would need to monitor failure rates of newly manufactured cards with Micron and Samsung memory for months in the future. So, without access to confidential information, it's far too early to come to a factual conclusion.

i just got twin 2080-ti cards 4 weeks ago with Samsung memory and their serial numbers only two digits apart. (Born so close together.)
 
What to name them is still a high priority. With all the crazy RTX probs, the names Thing 1 and Thing 2 came to mind. lol
 
Thing 1 is close to fully tested. (but i had to spend most my time the past two weeks installing Win10 Pro for 1st time ever and tweaking it to death.... oops! that word is to be used sparingly here.... lol)
 
So, Thing 2's box is close to being opened. Going to fully test it by-itself for a couple weeks. (I still have to slap in the new PSU- listed in sig below, because currently i'm still using an 860 watt and that won't do for two cards. But i'll take my time and not slap it in as said. lol)
 
But once they are joined by nVLink naming my cards tastefully, Chang and Eng. They're successful lives and the way they took it on, would be a positive approach applied to the success of my new cards and rig.
 
After all, going to be taking on the best FPS, most eye-candy, and photo-realistic games of this year; and of the past three to four years. And eventually, on a 4k, with Chang and Eng, leading the way, YAY!
