Basically if the driver detects furmark it won't let the card run to its full potential due to furmark being detected.

That explains a lot... One of the reasons I dont like Furmark is that it does not seem to allow one to push the GPU boost frequency very far which means you really cant test OC's with it. This is great information thanks! 

jasoncodispotiThe power supply test is not what you need to run... The test that you need to run is the CPU:OCCT test with a large dataset for at least one hour. This will test the stability of the CPU, RAM (kinda), and motherboard (kinda). Also do you live in the US, you could always go to Best Buy and purchase a GPU to test with than return it. (just double check with your local best buy that you can return the card)

Ah got it.. I use RealBench for that, but will try the Large Dataset for at least an hour with OCCT as well then report back.
I have thought about ordering a card off amazon and returning it since it's so easy but I've done it before, when evga literally sent me DOA step-up card a few years back, and I just feel like I've put in too many returns.
Although there is a bestbuy near me and I may just do it with them since I never visit Best Buy lol. Gonna call them and check on return policy and will follow up.
 
Also I have access to a GTX 1050.. I've used it for 2-3 days when one of the 2080ti cards died but since then have been sticking with the integrated HD 630.
Would putting in the 1050 be enough of a test or is that just too weak? I just hate returning high value items to be honest.. always paranoid of getting stuck with it.

lol that's true.. I mean the policy is there, gotta take advantage and they do tend to be easier on women returning stuff heh
 
I am thinking about returning the psu tbh.. I am getting a brand new one from corsair today for the RMA of my old psu.. might as well save money.
hard to say that considering I've been with EVGA since 2007, not to mention the whole process of swapping PSU again lmao
 

AHowesWith your luck ya better test that PSU first!

If ya bought it from evga I believe its only 14 days now return window.. and you need to request an rma and that's needs approval before you can return it and they might charge 15%.

LOL as in the supernova might be bad? oh man what a nightmare lol. But true, a good point I guess hahahaha
I actually got the supernova from amazon primenow, but it was only $150ish after tax/shipping.. not as bad as returning $1400ish but at this point..
I'm kinda feeling like taking the risk of amazon ban for returns... they don't have a 2080ti on primenow but they have a 2080.. that should still work right? nvm.. its just evga only RTX is a 2060 MSI..
k considering either or

I would be careful purchasing a GPU from Amazon with the idea of returning it... too many returns in a given time period especially high value returns can result in your Prime Account being banned. Regarding the power supply I would hold on returning that EVGA power supply as I am still not sure that the Corsair will be able to supply sufficient power.

Yeah unfortunately I've been a bit worried about that myself lol. I've had to return a 1080ti before when EVGA literally sent me a DOA step up card... lmao. I really don't want to do it again with a 1400 item this time lol.
 
I still haven't decided on the PSU tbh.. it's a bit of work to swap again but honestly what kinda pushed me was the thought of RMAing the supernova a few years down the line and then getting a refurbished unit... Corsair said they were sending a new one, but I want to check.. if they do actually send a new replacement... I'm not sure.. it might just be worth the hassle.

I honestly would not get hung up on the RMA process... I think that we can all agree something odd is occurring here with the GPU situation. Corsair may be sending a new power supply vs a refurbished simply because they have no refurbished units in stock.... just food for thought.

Someone at ups dont like you and is zapping your packages damaging your electronics! Haha.

Theirs your answer!

You have a angry ex working UPS?

I still think that an 850 Watt Gold Power Supply or Higher is needed for an RTX 2080 Ti Graphics Card.

Requirements

• Minimum of a 650 Watt power supply.
• Two available 8-pin or 6+2pin PCIe power dongles
• Total Power Draw : 250 Watts

 
Even the 2080 Black shows 650.

Requirements

Minimum of a 650 Watt power supply.

An available 6-pin PCIe power connector and an available 8 pin PCIe power connector

Total Power Draw : 215 Watts

I had to step up to 1,000w Super Nova when I got my 9800x and 2080ti FTW3 Ultra HydroCopper... These RTX cards draw a lot of power especially after EVGA gives the PCB and power limit some TLC. 

jeffyt and all,
 
1. Has mobo BIOS version, history of updating BIOS, and whether possibly re-flash same BIOS been considered?
 
2. Has the power path been investigated?
 
 
 
 

Error in Event Viewers are not important.
You can read sometimes what could be problem from some of errors but they pop up for stupid things even when computer work.
 
I believe nothing could influence on graphic card on that way to start to show artifacts. 
PSU could kill every hardware. 
 
I hate, I hate all debate about PSU, 500W, 600W, 1000W, enough, not enough, Minimum, Maximus... 
Like we talk about 200$ price difference. You debate for 5000$ worth hardware about price difference 50$.
Put 1KW in signature and prevent everyone to waste time asking is it enough or not enough.
 
Did you checked Windows Update sections, because crazy Windows install alone and update drivers sometimes and software.
This morning when I post picture suddenly mouse like want to stop, almost freezing... immediately I knew, I check Windows and there 3 updates Pending.... NVIDIA Drivers installed 10th May. They could make mess as well.

jeffyt and all,

1.Bios info below.
2. I replaced the PSU before installing 5th RMA card, it only lasted 1-2 days this time with an EVGA 850w. It hasn't artifacted but it is red screen of death even with new o/s and reset overclock.
It started with Division 2 crashing and me finding the Event ID 13 logs.
Restoring my acronis image of old o/s got it back up for a few minutes in Division 2 but then started red screening again.

OK I'm not sure what I found here... I flashed the 7A62v17 bios on 4/12 at 11am which is when I got the first of three re-certified replacement cards from EVGA.
It's also the same day that all those Event ID 13 errors popped up in Event Viewer.. but that 3rd card went on to live for 8 days before artifacting. This is the one EVGA confirmed was artifacting on their hardware as well.
Could this just be coincidence or could a bad motherboard bios slowly kill gpu's like this?
Could that same system with same bios update play Division 2 for nearly 2 hours (tonight) if it was a bad bios update?
 
My mind just keeps circling around the fact that I just ran a 6695.063 second long benchmark with Division 2 with my HD 630 on the 7700k and that the only change was literally the 2080ti and nvidia vs intel drivers but I have always used DDU + cut internet as well.

 
To address a possible thing that can help solve a problem, requires a recipe. So, u have a good start considering what u say about ur mobo BIOS. Others reading this thread may comment further. I will address the info u provided further on, in this thread.
 
But as for the power path being investigated:
 
-What is the PSU plugged into? (Make and Model number. Don't mention anything else. Just need to know if a surge protector, APC, UPS, etc. is involved and the path.)
 
----A possible recipe to use, to diagnose them, is to bypass and plug PSU directly into the wall considering most PSUs have all kinds of protection it should be ok to do so. (As long as the wall plug is a three prong one and it's grounded. Of course going back to additional protection ASAP is advisable; meaning within no more than a day.)
 
----Is maybe the PSU Power chord bad?
 
----Have u tried a different plug or another outlet on another wall in the room or moving the PC to another room?
 
sry for all the info. But u dah endless info man. jk

i agree on EV.
 
GPedt in Win10 is tricky, but should be considered too. it's not too hard to enable "Windows Update NOT updating hardware". And should be implemented.
 
But more importantly is, when jeffyt or anyone installs a new Win10 OS, they should consider not touching their MOBO installation discs (avoid all the bloat on it) and rely on the chip-set drivers windows finds for their mobo and use DDU and nVidia driver with Network cable unplugged.
 
Then boot into windows and complete video drivers installation. And before plugging in network cable, enable "Windows Update NOT updating hardware" in GPedit.

I go to check NVIDIA Forum, maybe something similar float there.
They messed RTX2080Ti Video Memory I can bet, only didn't admit completely.
RTX2080Ti FE alone have who knows how many batches of same type and brand video memory.
 
What to tell you more when people ask Is it safe Now to buy RTX2080Ti and search models with less problems someone to recommend.
I never saw something like that before. 
 

?

You wanted honesty so here it is... Reading through these posts again to make sure that I had not missed anything I came to the conclusion that you are not actually following the suggestions that we are giving, which is making this very difficult if not impossible to troubleshoot... 
 
That UPS should have been one of the first things to be removed from the equation... its really not needed unless the "condition" of the power is very poor and if that is the case you just need to have it fixed as you will kill the UPS anyway. 
 
Did you prevent Windows from downloading drivers when you re-installed Windows?
