Hello,
My two year old 1080 Ti turned out to be defective. The issue is so bad that it now crashes under 3D load after a few seconds to minutes. I also get VRAM artifacts either in green, purple or white.
It still has warranty and I'll ship it tomorrow. Now I wonder, what chances do I have to get the same card or a 2080 Ti for exchange? The obvious replacement would be a 2080, which I want to avoid, because it has less VRAM. I'm still happy with the 1080 Tis performance. It won't run into problems in heavily modded games at 4K, where I easily hit up to 10 GB of VRAM.
Did anyone recently RMA a 1080 Ti, what did you get in exchange? If that helps, I'm in Germany.

As you probably know, asking the question isn't going to change the answer. Folks are still getting 1080Ti as of yesterday for RMA's. So you might have to wait a bit longer to increase your odds of getting a Turing replacement.  A slightly OC 1080 Ti is going to equal or beat a 2080 in just about every game that does not use the dedicated RTX or DLSS hardware. You're not going to get a 2080 Ti to replace a 1080 Ti. So, if you're wanting a 1080 Ti as a replacement versus a 2080, you might be able to request if they offer you a 2080. We don't know. You will have to communicate with EVGA to get those answers.

I'm OK with getting the same model. I was just concerned because they are EOL for a long time now. 2080 and 1080 Ti are identical performance wise, but the Ti has more VRAM headroom. If the 2080 would have 12 or 16 GB as it should have I wouldn't care. 2080 Tis have gotten "cheaper", still expensive for the performance, but I expect them to get rid of those because the Super cards are coming. The FTW Tis are still very demanded, but you wouldn't find any new anymore.

Just to be clear, I'm not saying EVGA is going to get you a brand new 1080 Ti for RMA. That's very unlikely. Most likely is you will get a refurbished GPU. However... you never know.

I will see. In the worst case I would need to find someone switching a good 1080 Ti for a 2080. I shipped it today.
Baking would most likely resolve the problem, but I wouldn't do this as long as it has warranty. I'm pretty certain its a faulty VRAM module.

Hello, what do you think, does it look like a video momory failure as well? youtube.com/watch?v=KeZED3dMuz8 I recorded that 2 hours ago... sorry for not the best quality video. I executed GPU Caps Viewer with Vulkan Shadertoy Geomechanical demo... did not last too long until the artefacts appeared and the system crashed :/

My advice to you is be very proactive by calling EVGA support and having the EVGA rep notate on the RMA that you want a 1080 Ti FTW3 replacement or 2080 Ultra OC. You will not get a brand new card. By definition you will be receiving a refurbished or recertified card never new. Calling them is always better then emailing them. That' how to contribute to getting what you want out of an RMA. I did this and got all 1080 Ti FTW3 replaced for my SLI setup. I was offered the 2080 Ultra OC but turned them both down for a replacement pair of 1080 Ti FTW'3.

I feel like there's too much worrying on the 1080 ti replacements, it puts EVGA in such an awkward position. The average consumer sees the 11GB VRAM vs 8GB VRAM, and thinks "OMG THATS NOT FAIR". I mean, really? You're complaining about receiving a GPU with ray tracing capabilities, GDDR6 (!)? which kind of offsets your 11GB GDDR5X memory IMO.
I don't know, I feel like people read the RMA replacement stories and think they deserve a 2080 Ti and make posts/complaints to try and get it too. Not every situation is so straight forward.

It's awkward because for 99% of the games out there now, the 1080 ti performs a bit better than the 2080. So... I personally would see it as a bit of a downgrade. That's why.

Straight forward I think it would be a downgrade from a 2080 none Ti. Plus games are using more available VRAM. There are also a lot of kinks that need to be worked out of the 20 series. I might even pass on the 30 series and get the final refined FTW 40 series. It's already proven that there is little in performance gains versus the cost. All the 2080's are is a refined Pascal. Not worth it. I think the only thing to come out of the 20 series good in any form of a technology advantage is NVLINK to replace SLI. Has for your RMA. It's still going to be a used great card be that a 1080 Ti FTW3 or a none 2080 Ti. I can only agree with you on that EVGA should always replace a Ti series for a next gen Ti if they do not have your generation Ti in stock. It shouldn't have to be a none Ti card. You paid the premium to own a Ti series card. Anything less then a Ti series card is not really a good exchange.

As stated before, the 1080 Ti has slightly better performance and more VRAM. It doesn't matter if its GDDR6 or GDDR5X. The memory bandwith is similar. Raytracing is useless. It works in maybe two games and will make FPS unplayable.
In the end I got another 1080 Ti FTW3, which I am fine with. I don't need the 2080 Ti, this one is still the second best card on the market (if you leave out overpriced Quadros and Titans).
Normally the non-Ti 80 cards of a following generation have more the VRAM and around 30 % more performance. This time it was different. Like 780 Ti > 980, 980 Ti > 1080. Turing feels like a hoax. I bought every Ti flagship in the past generations, but this time I skip. Even a used card is not really worth it, as the performance increase doesn't appear reasonable. I hope the 3080 Ti delivers a better price / performance ratio, no useless raytracing, but some high clocked 7nm shaders.

Glad they had a 1080 Ti FTW3 to send you

Its working and now I know, those flickers were a VRAM problem. I had it on desktop too. Probably loading up the VRAM triggered the crashes. Thats why it took so long, some games worked, desktop worked too most of the time, it happened only in VRAM demanding games.
if you have similar issues, I recommend running modded Minecraft or Skyrim SE with ENB, those easily fill your 11 GB.
