My 3080 FTW3 just bricked with the red LED and the serial number is 2014. I had the card for 9 days before it broke.

There is a word on street that 2012 chinese batch ( first batch with red lips) have best bins.
 
I owned 2x ftw3. Mine is 2012 and can do 2300 while my cousin's 2014sn can fail at 2040 mhz.
 
My friend's 2012SN can do 2160 easy
 
At this point i only recommend 2012SN chinese versions.

I have a 2012 taiwan version. working perfect for a month so far! :)

mine starts with 2012 but says made in Taiwan on the box?? (its working fine so far by the way)
 

I have a 2014 starting number all black version and she runs great.

You mean 2012 China version? Or does the serial start with 2012 and the card says "Made in Taiwan"?

 
Sorry for late answer, but starts with 2012 and the card says "Made in Taiwan" and its been working perfectly fine, for a little bit more than a month now. :)

Damn, I think EU is pretty much limited to Taiwan only. So again no luck for us over here but hey, that's old news.

3090 FTW3 Ultra, Taiwan 20141 with red lipstick, installed 11/11.  Put me down as a "fate yet to be determined" card.  Had 1 blackscreen with max fans crash a week and a half ago that required a hard reset to clear, but the card survived and didn't red light of death that time.
 
I switched from the standard OC BIOS to the XOC beta BIOS afterwards, and I haven't had a repeat since then, even when rerunning the exact same actions that led to the card having a heart attack before.  The switch also resolved a more normal crash to desktop I'd experienced before consistently and repeatedly in the same game that I had chalked up to a recent game patch, but apparently wasn't.  Game was Half-Life: Alyx, the blackscreen of death happened in the custom map "Overcharge", and the 100% repeatable CTD without hanging the whole system was at the level change from the first to the second map in the "In Siege" custom map set.  (Definitely no bug with the maps themselves, I had played them many times on a 2080Ti before.)
 
Not sure if there's some genuine difference between the standard OC and the XOC BIOS that happens to be significant to what my particular card needs to behave properly, even though these should all be identical beyond the silicon lottery, or if perhaps the standard OC BIOS was slightly corrupted.  Power draw, clocks, and voltages are objectively more stable for me with the XOC BIOS though, according to the logging I had been doing before and after the switch.
 
Last note, I had updated the regular BIOS via PrecisionX when I first installed the card, but when I switched to the XOC BIOS, I used NVFlash from the command line.

My RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra has a serial number starting with 20141. My gpu usage is low in every game, is the card the problem? Please tell me so.

No, you might have v-sync on?

I don't have vsync on and whatnot, I've tried every fix I could find but none worked, until I stumbled upon this post and think my GPU might be faulty.

Do you have a spare HDD you can install fresh windows on?

I have a whole separate SSD just to troubleshoot stuff like this

Other than that, run gou-z, turn sensors on and run timespy and take a screenshot, share them here.

3090 FTW Hybrid. Made in Taiwan with a 2014 serial. 1200 EVGA Platinum PSU. Updated firmware, latest nvidia drivers, running PrecisionX. Died within 4 days of receiving it.
 
Middle of CP2077 and everything went black.  Has a single red light on the card, not recognized by windows/doesn't ever turn the monitor on.  Able to RDP in from the network and see that the computer is working fine otherwise.
 
Having a card die within 4 days (and seeing how many other people are having a similar issue. I'm returning the card full stop. Not going to bother RMA'ing a card that clearly has manufacturing or design defects, who knows how long the next one will last. Disappointing EVGA has not made any statement about what is clearly a widespread problem.
 
 

Red lips version made in Taiwan 2012 SN 
Problem :
Some time ( 3 from 5 ) after shutdown my graphic card start with RGB LED OFF and only 2 fan from 3 working !
On Precision X1 show me the temp only from GPU1  ( when start with this bug )
It`s this a bug which can be fixed or need  a RMA ?
