I really used to and still have some faith in EVGA products but this is getting out of hand. 1 Failed GPU I can accept but now the second? I bought the First GPU threw a third party seller and have all documentation as well as Tech Support calls with the last failure, I returned the first card back to seller on Amazon and got a full refund and said to myself....let me go threw EVGA incase I have any other card issues which I hoped would not happen. Now last night....after a long week at work I get to some gaming and now this GPU is gone. Can I just get a card that works from you guys and we can move on from this? Everytime I call they say its a Isolated incident and NVIDIA says the faulty rate is equal then the 1080TI but for me to get back to back faulty cards.....I disagree. If someone from EVGA is reading this.....can you guys spend additional time checking the 3rd card you send me? These problems cant be a mystery. There is speculations on the failures on other sites.

Wow. This looks like worst nvidia line ever.
The amount of failures is unbelievable.

I think the VRM is getting too hot causing this issue. The VRAM has thermal pads connecting them to the thermal plate but there is no thermal padding connecting the thermal plate in that spot to the heatsink. My VRAM is hitting over 90c in a very well ventilated case. It's already locked up with artifacts on me once. I don't see this card lasting long. I'm holding off on an RMA for the moment due to me spending over $200 for shipping cost for two GPU's and a defective Hybrid cooler. I'll be looking elsewhere for my next GPU.

Online the theory is that its faulty Micron Memory and that is what is in my card. My last card was even artifact'ing at Windows load up screens and not even exclusively to gaming. My temps are even pretty stable and under 60c most of the time without a heavyload. My first card went bad playing Swat 2 from the 1990's and idle temps.

My first card was the same. It locked up with the same "OK" artifacting while watching YouTube. *SWAT 2....damn we're old. I'd setup an RMA. You'll probably get a new card still sealed.

I'm on the east coast and it cost me $30+ to send something back plus insurance. So far this XC2 Ultra has cost me two overnight shipping charges and a return shipping charge. I've basically spent $150 in shipping for one GPU. Plus the overnight shipping I paid for in case this one breaks, plus the return shipping charge I'm gonna have to pay one day to return this card(it's already locked up with OK artifacts once).....$230. Hooray!

IMO they should pay for your shipping if the card is determined faulty. Its not right to fault the consumer due to no fault of their own. Ask to speak to a manager or move up your claim if your card continues to be faulty.

And you would think the MFG would know what stock is old and not continue to ship it.

I found out both my failed cards have the known sketchy batch serial number. 3238xxx in the serial number. Just had to pay $80 for shipping too for second broken card.

Is 3238 in the serial number? If so then they are recycling this batch of crap cards. There is actually a google doc someone made with the amount of failures with that batch just from Nvidia forums.

Both my current card and the one on its way have 3248 Makes me worry that 3248 is just the ftw3 version I haven't heard anything about that serial # though. What's up with that?

Just theory on nvidias forums reported by people with failures in those batch numbers.

That seems to be what I am seeing. With the 2nd RMA, I would be getting a replacement refurb card and im not sure im gonna be able to handle a 3rd broken card from either EVGA or NVIDIA.

Yes he’s quite upset because he paid for brand new cards and getting referb it’s not fair, he wish he stayed with his older cards, it’s not worth it. His second RMA its acting up from time to time so I'm not sure what he’s going to do, I don’t want to get between his issues I was trying to talk him out of getting new cards but ultimately he pull the tiger

My first 2 2080 TI's failed too. First lasted 2~ weeks or so. RMA replacement #1 only lasted a few minutes. Got my 2nd RMA replacement yesterday and so far so good, no issues with stock speeds. It's funny how some people are still in denial about the 2080 TI problems.

Both my 2080 Ti XC Gaming cards have 3238 in their serial numbers. No issues thus far.  Note: I've had both of them since 10/19/2018.

This seems to be no problem with micron or samsung DDR6. Some cards working successfully with both.
Also not with thermals. I read about Asus, EVGA, Founders edition and others cards that crash. According to test done by GamersNexus it looks like in-silicone issue => Nvidia.
https://www.gamersnexus.net/guides/3394-rtx-2080-ti-artifacting-failure-analysis-crashing-black-screens
From what I've gathered the micron memory does tend to have issues more often. Plenty of articles on it. Not like it's guaranteed bad, but there seems to be a lot less artifact cases with it
