Got a brand new FTW Ultra Gaming 3090 today. Was 10 minutes old when it stopped working. Didn't even get to do anything. Installed drivers and changed colors. Restarted PC and poof. No post. No signal to monitors. Motherboard error 97. Old video card works just fine. $2,000 and I didn't even make it past driver installation. Waiting on a response to my ticket. I'm really nervous about my EVGA card now. Hope they make this right.

I've been trying to score the same exact EVGA 3090 card for several months now, but I keep seeing more and more issues with 3090 cards across all manufacturers, so now I'm not sure if it's worth continuing to pursue it or if I should go with a lower model such as a 3070 or 3060 since the 3080's are extremely hard to find.

i finally stopped getting black screens after installing the rebar driver.
 
after installing precision x1.1.9. and updating the firmware, I'm getting black screens consistently again.
 
when updating the firmware my gpu fans rev'd up super loud for some reason but still updated in the end.
 
This is some bull****...

Did you reach out to EVGA support for this issue?  If so, what did they say?

I'm old enough to remember when you just plugged in a video card & it worked.

Same here.  It seems like the more technology advances and gets "better", the more possibilities there are for things to go wrong.

Have a 3080 FTW card that was working just fine for a couple of months. Then I moved my tower, and when booting back I forgot to plug in all 3 PCIe cables back into the GPU. When booting, there wasn't a red light on the GPU itself, and instead just nothing happened on the boot up. I powered down, plugged into the 3rd PCIe cable, and now can't get my card to output a signal to the monitor.
 
I have confirmed this is a GPU problem, as I have tried the card in two different towers with multiple monitors and multiple cables. Also, I have tried a different GPU in each tower, and it works just fine, so I am nearly certain it's the 3080 causing the issues. 
 
When I boot up the 3080, the GPU LEDs turn on, and the fans spin just fine, but the card is just not detected on the Motherboard. (There is a red light on the MB indicating that bad hardware is installed, and I removed my ram and put it back in trying to fix this, but the red light persists, so I am pretty sure it's the GPU causing it.) I have tried multiple PCIe slots, have tried a cmos reset on the motherboard, and uninstalling/reinstalling nvidia drivers. Nothing works to get this card to output a signal through either HDMI or DP. 
 
Does anyone have any recommendations of other things I could try to attempt to get the card working again and output a display to my monitor(s)? 
 
Thanks

Did you find a fix for this issue or is it still ongoing?  Did you contact EVGA support?  If so, what did they say?

Hi

I have this issue every time I use display port or HDMI. Sometimes when I start a game the monitor disconnects and sometimes when I start the pc I don’t get any signal. I’ve tried everything from DDU to factory resetting my pc reinstalling all drivers. I have an ftw3 3080 ultra and Corsair sf750 psu. Should I rma my card?

Are you still having this issue?  If so, have you contacted EVGA support?

Use a diff power supply

Yep what I'd do

Mine was because of the moniter, apparently I had to get a hdmi cable instead of a display

Crazy that these issues are so prominent. Hopefully the new Windows feature update helps iron some bugs out.

I am getting black screens randomly while gaming on my 3070. Lasts a couple seconds and not really predictable. Only on the screen I game on. I am on a DP connection and not limited to a single game. Driving me nuts. Doesn't always happen.
