Well, I received my RMA replacement. This card is ALSO defective. It will not clock above 300MHz. I worked with Alberto from GPU tech support, he was very helpful. We've set up another advanced RMA for this replacement card. So in other words I now have to do an RMA of an RMA. 
 

This is your Second RMA or Third RMA or Going to be the Third RMA?
Did this card have Samsung Memory?

And what will happen if your 3rd Card is Defective?

I will keep RMA'ing until I get one that works. I obviously cannot get my money back at this point. 

Was the RMA Card New?

CSPlayer089
As far as I can tell, it was not. It was not sent in a retail box. 

When you get this card and you believe it is defect first I would ask that you return your overclock to default and retest.

RTX 2080 Ti Died...
I think it is your MB or OS

Do you have an extra hard drive lying around? Install windows on it clean...
 
*shrug*
 
(not saying windows is the issue, just saying you could prove it isn't windows by reproducing on a clean hard drive)

At this point I'm not even going to bother. An advanced RMA has already been set up and approved, and yet another card will be arriving next week. We'll see what happens then. 

ok, but if it's not the card but the OS, you sent the existing card back for no reason ....personally (and I have no beef if you don't do this ;)) I'd find it worth it to try before sending it back
 

Okay, I will humor you both and do a clean install of Windows 10 over the weekend. I'll let you know what happens. 

i didn't mean you to humor me and do it...I just think it's worth a shot....
 
Keep your existing OS on the side on its own hard drive, put a drive in that you don't care about..install windows..see what happens....
 
takes 45 minutes...it's not like it's gonna make it take THAT much longer to RMA the card if it doesn't work...it's just a quick and simple "Nope,
this didn't help" or "yep, that fixed it"
 
*shrug*
 
Either way, you know...

It is not really "humor" your Thread is putting a hold on me buying another RTX Graphics Card.
Cards just don't stop working in a week or two it is just not common and you now have two in a row.
This forum does a great job at troubleshooting aside from the off topic crap that we sometimes have to deal with.

I tend to take everything that they say on HardOCP with a grain of salt, mainly because they are AMD-biased, however this apparently does happen to more than just a few people.
 
Anyways, I'm about to do a clean Windows install here in a minute. I'm due for my annual reformat/reinstall anyways. Will report back. 

Other than that being Old News Now you do not have an FE Card from NVIDIA.
Let's hope the OS Install works for you with your EVGA Graphics Card

CSPlayer089
All done with the reformat and reinstall. Running a clean copy of Windows 10 Pro 1809. 
 
Unfortunately, the results are the same. The card will not go above the idle clock of 300MHz. The memory boosts up to 7GHz without issue. 

And your MB is at Stock Settings to include the BCLK is set to 100?
Are you Using two Separate PCIe Power Cables to your GPU?
 

And Are you Using two Separate PCIe Power Cables to your GPU?
How old is your EVGA SuperNOVA 1300G2 PSU?
What are you running to make the GPU Clock go above the Idle Clocks?
Is your Bios up to date on the Motherboard?
Is the On Board Video Disabled in the Bios? 
https://www.asrock.com/MB/Intel/Z370%20Taichi/index.asp#BIOS Current 2018/10/30 3.30
Is the Card installed in the Top (X16) Slot next to the CPU?

 

CSPlayer089
Yes, using two separate cables. The PSU is about 3 years old.

Using 3dmark firestrike to test the clocks, msi afterburner osd (issue occurs whether or not it is running)

Running the 3.30 BIOS, top pci-e slot of course.

Do you have a Link to your 3DMark Fire Strike Score?

The last item that I see posted here is take the card an put it in a friends computer to see if it also cannot clock above 300 MHz.
This will do two things one show that your motherboard is ok and the card really is bad or that your motherboard is the issue and the card is good.
Also you said this was not a new card they sent you and they do test them before they send them to a user.
It would cost EVGA more not to test them then to just send out a known or unknown bad card to replace a known or unknown bad.
