Hi EVGA community,
 
I just wanted to get a second opinion on my situation. I've linked the original post below.
 
Basically I have a 2080 Ti that is artifacting and throwing up the Error 43 issue. When I was packing it up to send it in for warranty, I noticed some small chips on the PCIe interface, and worn gold pins. According to EVGA they will deny my RMA, despite the issue is more than likely due to failure of substandard onboard components.
 
Edit: Honestly I wouldn't even call it a chip anymore, its more of the PCB being worn down

    Why are you posting a duplicate thread in the wrong section of the forum?
    My opinion is that EVGA has made up its mind, and EVGA's decision is justified per the terms of the warranty.  It's a sneaky way to get out of replacing your video card, yes, but that's just how it goes.  You haven't been the first who has been denied warranty for seemingly unrelated damage.  Damage is damage.  It's chipped, worn, and corroded.  That voids the warranty.
