GTX 1080 FTW, where do we get this BIOS?

You bunch make excuses that Furmark is this and that, while other brands of the same card are running it just fine.
 
You bunch ignore that article with an owner taking off the backplate and showing the unusual signs of wear and damage with pictures that indicate the problem with these cards go beyond a simple fix. Our cards are damaged as a result of running hot, but it takes time for the damage to manifest itself as the cards completely dying.
 
Evga does not offer refunds, they do not offer an extension of their warranty, they charge you for shipping of the card while the whole situation is 100% their fault, they don't promise you a new card if you RMA, and they act like they're doing us a favor after we paid over 400$.
 
Stop fooling yourself.
 
You guys are beyond help and you deserve what you are getting. I really am shocked that you want to be pissed on and cheated like this.
 
I'm out. No more replies from me. If you ignore solid evidence, then there's no point.

You probably should be "out" if your "rage" over this is so intense that you cant think logically about the issue.
 
First off, since when does it surprise anyone that when you RMA a card you might get a refurb as a replacement. Who DOESNT do that? ASUS does, Gigabyte does, every single tech maker Ive ever ordered from does this. They send you a refurb that is tested to meet standards.

As for Furmark, yeah you damn well SHOULD blame Furmark, when the folks who did this "test" to expose this "overheating issue" were running Furmark at 99% GPU usage for over 2 hours while only running their fans at 30-40%. Thats just idiocy on anyones part.
 
Also what article of someone showing damage? If you are talking about the Vram thermal pads? Mistakes happen. I find defects in almost every manufacturer out there. I once bought a notebook from ASUS that literally didnt have the drive plugged in. I had a Gigabyte board with bad solder joints. Oh fricken well dude.
 
Thats WHY we go with EVGA. Peace of mind warranty. If their product is defective, they stand behind it and will take care of their customers 100%, unlike a lot of other manufacturers I have dealt with.


If your *SO* upset with EVGA, even if you consider this a flaw in their design, find me another card manufacturer you are going to go with, and Ill be happy to dig up horror stories on them for you.

Is it just Fan % vs. GPU temp that will be modified in the new VBIOS? Or is it a change in the RPM or whatnot? Im just trying to deduce whether I will also need to get the VBIOS for RPM changes despite my fan curve modification. If its just typical fan curve then I won't bother. My power is notorious for going out at the worst times so flashing a BIOS is not something im interested in risking unless necessary. As far as my typical use scenarios, im a single monitor 1080p user atm that mostly games and uses flight simulators. (gave up the dual to the fiancee :P). Most the games I play are generally getting older now as I become less and less fond of the AAA market as the years go on. DCS simulator is probably about as much GPU as I utilize. I spent most of the first month burning the **** out of the card with that lol usually in the 60-73c range on the default curve or so depending on settings. But had a harddrive failure last month so ive resinstalled some stuff (not my sim) and am playing the much older skyrim through again with mods which the card runs as if it was damn near idle at 30-40C. Hoping Im alright... concerned though, without a doubt of course.

Anyways, just wanted to wish everyone including EVGA the best of luck with their cards, and even more so to anyone whos already experiencing problems. I really hope everything gets sorted out for everyone in a decent fashion. Just leaving my two cents. I know alot of fustration is coming out in this thread which is understandable, and I just hope to cool the waters a bit.

You seems quite happy to have a defective product and willing to spit on other manufacturers, good for you, some are not. Let's make a deal, leave a long happy life with what you've got, and let those who think that the situation unacceptable be.
 
Your argumentation have no weight unless you're an EVGA Official on that matter...we all now the harassment employees are ready to do to smooth and mitigate an issue during crisis (trolling, denying, etc)...quit pretending.
 
As for EVGA, I really would like to see some REAL OFFICIAL answer in HERE.

You realize you're contradicting yourself, right ?
 
You yourself say fans are a big deal to the life span of a GPU, so you are more than admitting that fans play a big role in the life of a GPU. So if your fans have 400% longer life span, then as a result the longevity of your card increases cause the fans last longer. So Evga is literally telling you the cards last longer, because they have better fans that last longer. How can you fail to make that connection ?

khos2325
But at the same time you seem to miss the connection that I'm making by saying BIG DEAL in my post, which is referring to the fact that with a dead vRam that 400% increased life span of the fan is not a big deal. Why? Because your card is dead anyways !
 
On the other hand you ignore every other incorrect fact that Evga's put on that page, and you're held up over this ?!

khos2325
Backplate that helps reduce the temp, while in reality according to Evga themselves it increases the temps. The cards having low noise levels, which will be a thing of the past with the BIOS update. All of this could've been avoided if Evga thoroughly tested their cards, and addressed these issue before releasing their cards.

Not fooling myself. I just got to that point of life where you understand that making fusses and speculating doesn't help your case.
Plus, as I've said before, your whole "solid evidence" is based on speculation.

I am a little worried and confused about my card. Under load PrecisionX says my card is at 82c (idles at 60c sometimes colder) and I have never seen it go above 82, even after gaming for a couple hours. My 1080 FTW P/N is not even on the list above, so does that mean my card is not one of the affected ones? I have a 08G-P4-6286-KR. I also want to mention I have used a custom fan curve from the start.

Your PN is indeed listed in the OP...and your idle temps seem high to me.
