It seems that Nvidia's flagship consumer GPU has some large problems. Looking at Nvidia's forums, ~80% of the first few pages are defective and dead GPU posts (for now).
Worse still, some users who have been issued a replacement card by Nvidia have then been forced to return that one too, suggesting that in some cases at least, the problem users are facing is not solved by simply giving them a new graphics card. That could hint at some sort of architectural defect.
This is why I don't preorder hardware, especially when it's vastly different from its predecessors. (And I'm too poor.)
This seems like it could be intentionally misleading. Implying that the entire 2080 Ti line-up is prone to failure generates more emotion and could drive more people to this article. But the vague...
The problems appear to primarily be affecting those with Founders Edition versions of the 2080 Ti, though some users with third-party cards from Gigabyte and Asus have also reported failures and problems with their new GPUs.
This seems like it could be intentionally misleading. Implying that the entire 2080 Ti line-up is prone to failure generates more emotion and could drive more people to this article. But the vague way it's written seems to leave room for a situation where the Founder's edition is faulty and the other models are reporting dead cards like there are with any GPU launch.
I've recently switched to an AMD card, and one of the reason for this is that I strongly believe that RTX cards are one of the worst Nvidia lineups ever. Not only their primary selling point is a...
I've recently switched to an AMD card, and one of the reason for this is that I strongly believe that RTX cards are one of the worst Nvidia lineups ever. Not only their primary selling point is a technology that is situational at best, they are also stupidly expensive and the performance gains in the same price range is minuscule.

Nvidia doing everything they can to keep AMD in the GPU race without AMD having to do much. AMD really has a golden opportunity to get back some market share by offering competing GPUs at competitive prices, particularly if those GPUs don't have the same problems the Nvidia cards have been having.
