HI guys I own a RTX 2080 and I am really really worried please help me :( 
 
I remember news about some rtx 2070 - 2080 - 2080ti died for a reason I don't know!! ( maybe memory problem )
 
My question is all rtx 2080s are gonna die one day because of memory problem?????!! they got fixed later??
 
i heared memory problem got fixed 100% later ( right? )... i want to know my rtx 2080 is the one made after the memory problem solved or not !!!!

I'm really worried because for some reason i can't use warranty in my country!!!! 


I can give you serial number and ... can evga support confirm my card was made after solving memory problem?! ( i sent a email to evga support still no answer :( )

HUH ? . - There are always a certain percentage of any electronics that are going to die or break right away. That is the nature of electrical items. 
 
 IF you are asking if there has been some kind of nationwide issue with them ?  = NO.
 
I have only seen an article or two about the 2080 ti's possibly burning out a bit early - but even that has not been any kind of major announcement or certainty .  

Sorry for my bad English ... you didn't answer my question man...
 
I mean.... RTX 2080s got fixed later? ( some of them died bc of memory problem or something else )  
I own a EVGA rtx 2080 black edition with samsung memory.... i want to know my rtx 2080 is gonna die because of memory problem or not ? ! .... i heared nvidia fixed memory problem later!

I can give you serial number and part number...can you guys confirm my card is a fixed one and not gonna die because of memory problem ?

My question is all rtx 2080s are gonna die one day?????!!

Yes, all RTX 2080s are going to die one day. All power supplies are going to die one day. All motherboards are going to die one day. All CPUs are going to die one day. All memory is going to die one day. All animals are going to die one day. All stars are going to die one day. All universes are going to die one day.


It is impossible to guess what day that will be. There is no manufacturing date, serial number, or any other indication to predict which day that will be.

if your card arrived sealed brand new in an original OEM EVGA package it is brand new, if it arrived in anything other than that it is more then likely refurbished. Some cards had micron memory, some cards had samsung memory, how long your card lasts is how much you overclock it, whether it has micron or samsung memory is no relevance. 

So sorry what do you mean OEM EVGA package?
 and i'm not talking about refurbished cards man!

Man i know what you mean .....
still not my answer ...
 
i think it is a big misunderstanding!!!!!!!
 
I'm talking about RTX memory problems..... i want to know my card will have the same problem or not...

nvidia support told me this: 
[04:18:02 AM]Biprajit: There was an issue with the first bacth of RTX cards only, and that was late 2018. All issues have been fixed after that
[04:18:55 AM]Biprajit: Provide me the Part number
[04:21:00 AM]Biprajit: This is an EVGA manufactured card
[04:21:31 AM]Biprajit: Please contact EVGA
 
and i sent an emial to evga support and asking about my RTX 2080 if it is the first batch of RTX cards or not! ( still they didn't answer )

if it is the batch of RTX that not gonna have the memory problem so i should keep it and enjoy it! if it's the first batch of RTX cards so i should sell it ....
 
 
 
 

I don't see any RTX cards registered to your account.
 
If you can register the card, we can at least let you know what the warranty is like should you have a problem with the graphics card.

done!

 

Great!
 
The graphics card comes with the global 3 year warranty which started a few months ago so you have plenty of time to send it in if you run into a problem but to answer your earlier question, the susceptibility to failure is the same as with any previous generation of graphics cards and since no one can predict when and how a product will fail, the most we can do as a manufacturer is offer a warranty to replace a defective product for a reasonable amount of time. 

Normally, I've been of the opinion that if a piece of electronic equipment works for the first month, it will probably outlast its usefulness to you.,
 
There are some examples of failure after this time, but I highly doubt you'll have issues if it works for 30 days.
 
This is merely my opinion...and even if you do have issues, eVGA is really good about warranty service....There will be naysayers here, but hey..that's life.

I'm living in iran!!!! now you know why I can't use the warranty in my country!!! 
 
nvidia support told me this: 
[04:18:02 AM]Biprajit: There was an issue with the first bacth of RTX cards only, and that was late 2018. All issues have been fixed after that
 
 
i want to know my card is first bacth of RTX cards or not!!!! 

The agent you spoke with may have been referring to the issue with the "space invader" artifacts which is still something that can happen even with newer cards but if you must know, your RTX 2070 was manufactured earlier this year so definitely not a first release product. 

Thank you so much Man!
 So you checked my serial number and part number and my card ( evga rtx 2080 black edition ) made earlier this year right?
RTX problem is called space invader didn't know that! 
My gtx 1080 worked very good even with overclock for years ... why space invader should happen to RTX cards even without overclock and in a short time?!  
So no one can tell me if my RTX 2080 (even when that made earlier this year ) not gonna die with space invader? ( i don't overclocked my card )
nvidia didn't solve the problem 100% for RTX cards? ( i never heard a 2080 super with space invader problem ...but i can't buy it )
 
 
 
Another question ... I don't have any invoice or Receipt for my 2080 , will i be able to use the warranty ?

Sounds pretty good that it was made in 2019 and not part of the first batch.
 
As for the problems it's a much smaller problem then it seems. As an example, if a company sold 100 products and 10 of them fail you can bet those 10 people are not going to be happy and posting online about the bad product. The other 90 people are happy and not posting that it works great as when it works well, they don't give it much thought. This is totally an example with made up numbers to show that even if a product has 90% happy customers it can still have angry people leaving angry reviews, complaining on social media and making negative posts on forums. I feel people who had a bad experience are not bad people for doing that since it's natural to do that but I think it really says a lot about a product when a company backs up a release with a long warranty. Even if I didn't get that warranty the fact they offered it speaks well for the trust they put into it as the goal of a company is to make money and you can't make money if you are returning every product multiple times during a warranty window.

Thanks to all of you guys!!!! 
Very kind and helpful forums!!!!!

I understand what you are asking, but I think you might be confusing a few things.  The NVIDIA rep is likely also referring to a different issue than the one you are worried about.


The early issue with the batch of RTX cards (referred to by the NVIDIA rep) was not an industry-wide issue, but rather an NVIDIA-brand RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition issue caused by defective/mis-tested cards accidentally packaged for retail.  You can read about that here: .  I don't think the rep was very clear about what he was discussing.  That issue also was related only to NVIDIA-brand cards, and not partner cards made by companies like EVGA.
 
This is different than other reports of issues that various customers have had.  Overall, 20-Series cards have a failure rate in-line with previous generations of cards.  Just be careful of trying to read too much into people having issues and trying to correlate those issues with ones you have or worry about having.  It will drive you crazy that way.

 
yes man .... i don't mean 2080 ti Failure ... i mean RTX 2080 Failure ... 
 
like this one

or
youtube.com/watch?v=OdkniLSN0DA
and other rtx 2070 2080 Failure cards!
 
Should I keep my RTX 2080 black edition while i know i can't use warranty! ( bc of country can't use warranty )
Or I should sell my rtx 2080 and buy a RTX 2070 Super!!! ( never heard a problem with Super series! )

It can always happen. This is the risk that you take when buying a card. If you cannot use the warranty in your country, like you are saying, then that is also the risk you take when buying a card. Maybe return the card and go with a company that does support a warranty in your country? There are other companies that are on the same quality level (or, possibly better depending on who you talk to), like Asus. I bought one of the first Asus 2080Ti cards and haven't had any issues. I also have the Micron memory. 

There is warranty for GPUS and MB and... in iran, but you should pay sometimes 50% more than normal price only for 2-3 years warranty ... and they are not nice with you!!!! ( life in a trash country!!!! )
 
I'm not talking about risk that all electronic items has!
 
I'm talking about risk with RTX 2080 Failure!!! i still don't know about it enough ...
 
it seems my card was made earlier 2019 ... maybe nvidia or evga prevented that problem and it's not  gonna die like RTX 2070-2080 that died!  
 
I dont know i'm still confused! maybe i should keep it and it will be ok ... or maybe i should sell it and buy a RTX 2070 super... or low end card and wait for 3070 ..... really confused help me pls
