Here's Why My RTX Graphics Card FAILED... (with proof - 2080 Ti)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- With reports all over the internet of higher than normal failure rates for RTX 2000 series Graphics Cards (including RTX 2080 Ti, 2080 and 2070), I heard rumors of it being specifically related to the Micron GDDR6 Memory, though in this instance my RTX 2080 Ti from Aorus started randomly artefacting and crashing. I then investigated the issue and found it to indeed be the memory.

manufacturers need to spend less time spent on RGB and more on quality control
This is more on Micron than on the GPU brands. They're expected to have stress tested their own chips before supplying them to the board manufacturers.
But rgb +5 fps!!!
This is not the partners fault but the memory makers issue...
the partners just replace the cooler on the reference cards and add various other things like RGB, better fans, or a bigger cooler. the FE cards don't have RGB yet they've failed too. its more down to the bad memory from micron, not cause more time was spent on RGB. you sound like a jackass.
@@ERMMM420 one question, dont they also provide brand/card specific firmware? Not just to help identify it in software but also to run all the bells and whistles (had a 980ti k|ngp|n...redicoulous overpriced but nice to have nonetheless...including 3 unique firmware(s) with a switch to choose which one was being used)

Mr Vuck Fiacom If you aren’t under warranty you just buy a second one and return the old one claiming it be the new one, classic technique
My argument would be.If i paid $1200 for a card it must work.I don't want to declock it just to get it running that's not what people pay for.I am already disappointed in the rtx on performance now declock as well :D
Hell, I'd say you have low standards, even. I f I paid 1200$ I'd expect 2 new working top-tier GPUs. That's how it used to work.
@Immense Data
Time’s changed... I remember my new NVidia cards back then worked out of the box flawlessly.
Pierré Grobbelaar not a valid point. Anything regardless of price may have problems. Of course we all want our equipment to work regardless.
Harald Berg
I still find it valid. He went out of his way & paid a premium price for that GPU, it gotta work out of the box right away for a high-end card. If you have to go through all of the hassle just for said GPU to work properly, it’s not ok, especially for NVidia GPU’s standard.
Samuels Wander I don’t disagree with the point that we except it to work. My point is that price have nothing to do with it. We all expect a GPU to work regardless if you buy it for $450 or $1200. Furthermore I am certain that both AMD and Nvidia have high quality standards. the same issue can be said of cars. BMW, Mercedes and other manufacturers have high quality standards. Yet from time to time they all have issues and they are repaired or recalled for repairs.
This is terrible! Very bad quality control, this is yet another indication the RTX series launch was rushed.
It's not surprising nvidia needs to keep competition fierce. This is due to amd becoming much better an closing the gap of the gpu market. Especially with the 7nm card coming. If amd has a card that does 2080 speeds or more for a 100 dollars yes. Nvidia will have to price drop.
@@nickbrown8729 Not only that, but for the price increass over the last 2 generations you can expect quality improvemeng, not degredation
@@nickbrown8729 AMD/ATI Has been competitive before too. There is no way AMD will make a 100 dollar card that equals a 2080 in performance.
@@jdjeasy Quality has not improved. I am sure nVidias margins did tho.
@Brad Viviviyal
That’s completely absurd to say. 3 yrs old Pascal card? I suppose RTX are closing the gap with a 3 yrs old Pascal card as well?
(With all honesty, that jokes you made lack any substance to it, it’s not even appeal to AMD fanboys).
"you can turn a negative into a positive, in that you can keep that memory slider down there, and then one month before your warren....beeeeeep...." so funny but so true.
That gives me nightmares.

Why not use GPU-Z to identify if it's Micron or Samsung memory ? it's faster :) The same problems have also been reported with Samsung memory (HardOCP).

Im on the second RMA now. Second card came with Samsung and yet failed in just 3 days. Now it shows error 43 in device manager. And no amount of "clean drivers" or even "clean OS install" can fix it. Luckily i have my poorly repaired 1080Ti with wires shunting the burned places after a liquid spill on my watercooling rig. But even in this frankenstein state it works like a charm. No problems for 1.5 year whatsoever. It just works :)

could just be a bad design across all GDDR6. there may be a revision of GDDR6 in the pipes
@@PanaehaliTut my cooling system did the same, but leaked on a single RAM chip for my 980Ti, managed to clean up the residue and RMA that card, but when it came down to purchasing a new GPU, opted to buy a 1080Ti as i was not convinced the new RTX cards were going to be "stable" as what happens with most "NEW AND IMPROVED" computer components.
Just a quick note , if you want to see what memory you have on your card you dont need to take it apart , use GPUZ it will tell you exactly what memory you have on your 20 series card , i used it to confirm what was on my Gigabyte 2080 before overclocking it & luckily for me it was Samsung 😀

i worked in a furniture company. 80% of our products were for export. we had 20-21 different products. when i made a product and it had a fault in the wood, it was repaired. if it was a paint fault, it was re-painted. i had a drawer with stickers of each company that was buying from us. Furniture that had to be repaired, was recieving a sticker for a company in my country or any country near us, in south east europe. cheaper products. if it had a paint problem and had to be re-done , was recieving an export sticker together with the other ones. The best ones that came out perfect were the only that got IKEA and Leroy Merlin stickers. i worked at 3 other factories for different things, gear boxes, glass fiber kids playground toys ,etc. all had same thing. products were labeled for different companies/customers depending on quality. i hope that tells you something.. :)

It still looks very much like a power sequencing issue to me. There are multiple power supplies on the card that must start up in the specific order at power on time.
It's possible that incorrect power sequencing results in a temporary 'out of spec' voltage condition on the RAM, causing incremental damage to the silicon every time the machine (actually the card) is powered on. With the various power management modes of the card, it's possible that same applies to those modes, and not just on/off power cycling.
We had a fair number of voltages and boost/power states on graphics cards for years now. What specifically would make you think that the sequences are at fault here ?
@@Kasapin5033 We've had a fair number of voltages and boost/power states on a lot more than just graphics cards for years now, but that's not the point. Sometimes a bad design makes it to market. I've seen the issue pop up multiple times on various designs and the symptoms of gradual degradation match what's going on with the RTX cards.
There are multiple comments suggesting that both Samsung and Micron equipped cards have displayed the fault. We can rule out bad RAM.
There have been thermal tests done under load showing that temperature was not the cause.
So, something non thermal on the cards is killing good RAM chips, that leaves a voltage issue being the most likely culprit.
This might be the problem. It could be just a power feed failing because the card is stable under lower clock speed . Normally lower voltage will cause instability in clocks speeds.
@@MickyMouseLimited The symptoms would certainly match the case presented in the video, but I think both the general instability/crashing and the space invader artifact issues are from the same cause (it just depends on whatever random damage happens to the RAM - causes different effects). A failing power feed cant account for the space invaders.
We really need to see if the card degrades further.
A good test would be to find the actual failure frequency, and stress test it just below that, see how long the continuing degradation takes to start affecting the card at the new frequency. Then re-adjust the frequency down to find the new stable point, rinse and repeat.
From this information, we could estimate when (if) the degradation will start causing trouble for RTX2060 owners as well.
It could be a problem with the new GDDR6 memory controller

Ahh Micron, back in the day I got a 1070 when they were first out and it had Samsung memory, few weeks later I got another (1080ti wasn't out yet) to SLI them. The second card had Micron memory. It was unstable on stock, forget about any overclocking, and only after few weeks when a bios update was released it was finally able to be properly used. So I guess they didn't learn their lesson yet and are still going with the cheaper memory. I was ready to upgrade to 20 series but now I think I'll just wait. $1400 for 2080ti in US and I gotta downclock it to make it work? Yeah, no thx.

Easy answer! All companies follow the same pattern. When they get on top of their market they then let their quality standards fall and the consumer suffers! Welcome to Earth!
You can use GPUZ to pull the memory mfg off the board without tearing it down.
only if the ID's and calls are implemented, which may not be the case yet.
My MSI 2080 TI Gaming X Trio has Micron, at least in theory, according to GPUZ. I've no plans on taking it apart to verify but my expectation is it's correct. Which is why I suggested this as an alternative method of discovery. FWIW the card was unstable initially, but after flashing with a 'unofficial' BIOS that raised the wattage limits from 330 to 405, and using MSI afterburner with a custom, more aggressive fan speed profile to keep things cooler, it's been stable. However, if ambient gets over 80 or so it will occasionally still have issues. For anyone considering overclocking it further, I suggest seriously considering water cooling.
Yep I used this and turns out my RTX 2080 Ti uses Micron GDDR6 great

Do you happen to know off hand the equivalent 10x card performance for each 20x card? Like the 2080=1080(ti?) and the 2070 = 1070ti and the 2060 = 1070 non ti? Is that it ?
Fee I would say the 2070 is more like the normal 1080
11:15 that’s what we do in Sweden. My cousin he gets a rtx 2080ti and he need to under clock his gpu to make sure his gpu not crash in 100% load.
Would be better to just ask for a replacement. Consumer laws in EU cover this kind of crap. prove it crashes in full load at stock with a video, and if they refuse to reimburse or change for a functioning one, sue them. Very easy win.
@@Enderplays12 i'm thinking of this

And this is why I don't own "bleeding edge" hardware......
My 770 lasted pretty long for me and recently got a 1080 for my 120hz 1440p screen gotta say i think i dodged a bullet there bc i was seriously weighing my options. Same reason why im waiting til next generation for the new i5 to release.
i waited until 1080Ti was released before buying 1080. Sometimes bad shits happen.
There's nothing wrong with owning bleeding edge hardware. What's wrong is willing to own bleeding edge hardware that is known to fail a lot.

@@bgtubber yeah there is man its just like preordering games, if youve got the money and dont think returning things is a hassle, then sure. Otherwise you're buying hardware to be a guniea pig, might work out, might not.

But yeah let me know how it goes dude maybe next year or in a few months if y'all are still stable I might consider new hardware. Otherwise the hassle isnt worth my time IMO
Main reason why I wait a few months, companies have taken so many shortcuts in recent years that I would not be shocked to see them use a nail gun to install parts.
Quit giving these companies valid cost cutting ideas! Lol
Never buy a new artifision grafik card when it first comes out, always wait for the next series in line as bugs and issues will most likely be fixed and also the second series of that type of cards in this case ''RTX'' will come out alot sooner than we are used to with other cards and will also be alot cheaper and a bigger bang for you bucks 👍
Or it could be twice as expensive. Dont keep your hopes up until they get some competition
It's called the "bleeding edge" for a reason, it is your blood (money) that you lose. I see no reason to ever get something when it first comes out for this very reason. I let others take the hit and then when they get the bugs out, I will purchase. I'm done with being the quality control tester.

Your first mistake was buying "Galax" brand cards. Remember, most if not all of these cards are made in China and so you can't just buy the cheapo brands and expect not to regret it. About 90% of my purchases directly from china have been awful and resulted in me getting refunds. And yet for some reason the big brands that are made in China seem to be fairly good. So there is a wide spectrum of quality standards when you are buying Chinese products. Galax should be off your purchase radar. The minimum standard you would want to go is Gigabyte. There are some standard brands that you want to stick with until the crappy brands fix their quality control. Several websites discuss which brands not to touch. Memory is not just "MEMORY", it is a culmination of different materials and a skill factor for how those materials were handled, treated, created and ultimately put together so as to function. One thing I find with cheap Chinese electronics is use of poor quality metals. Another issue is the way they solder metals together. Another issue is that they don't give honest descriptions about how effectively they are dealing with heat dissipation in the design. It is not uncommon to find that the reason some electronics fail is because some Chinese version of a wannabe MacGuyver just Duct tapes a bunch of stuff into a hole and figured nobody will blame him when it overheats and fails. Many Chinese factories pride themselves on being able to make replicas that look similar but don't function any where near a quality made product. So make sure you are buying from a brand that actually makes computer hardware, rather than a brand that pretends to make computer hardware. It's like when people buy white shoes that look like Nike or Asics and then they find the shoes has been glued together with brown glue and there are glue stains everywhere. In China, there is so much corruption that dodgy companies are an everyday occurrence and unfortunately most of the products around the world are made by these companies. I mean, they even had issues where they were using gymnasium mat rubber in baby powder because it tested a false positive as protein and was cheaper to purchase than real protein. So be careful with Chinese brands - don't be the fish that swims out furthest from the reef to explore some Chinese brand that claims it's an awesome experience when it's actually a shark that eats your money.
Failures are NOT only temperature related. Over the years there have been many cases where due to contamination, or new processes with smaller dimension designs, that over a period of time the slew rate of the chips drops. This means that the items will still operate well at LOWER clock rates, but not at the designed clock rates. The best thing to do is to look at the actual signals on the data lines with a O-Scope.
This was even seen back in the Atari 2600 days with some releases of various game cartridges. When new vendors were sought for the high volumes of ROMs needed for the games. Occasionally a new vendor would produce a chip that just did not perform long term as intended. With bench tests, it could be seen that the memory data outputs would not have a good stable output at the normal clock speeds the Atari 2600 ran at, often only reaching up to the "undefined" logic level voltages, before the next memory data addressed would be output to the data lines. Clocking the chip at a lower data rate revealed that the data was in fact still fully readable when the addresses were held longer to get stable normal logic levels on the data lines.
The same has been seen with various TTL and CMOS family logic chips with some production lots from various vendors, usually from new production lines. CPUs, Support chips, etc have also NOT been immune from these situations. So this is not a surprise to see in the world of fast evolving tech going into a very high volume and competitive world of Graphics cards.
"The best thing to do is to look at the actual signals on the data lines with a O-Scope. "

Yes lots of money.

First time I've heard someone pronounce BSOD like it's a word in 20 years. Great video though. :)
There's a good indie game called Primordia where it's pronounced in this fashion.
The only thing I have seen from Nvidia is that earlier cards are more prone to failure, whether it has Micron or Samsung memory. It just so happens that the earlier cards mostly had Micron memory so a few people are blaming the memory. A lot of RMA'd cards are coming back with Samsung memory on them. It's a supply issue. Nvidia have not stated exactly what the problem is/was.
I waited a few months for the issue to get ironed out. Bought a 2070 as a birthday gift a few weeks ago. It lasted a week before the card was returned to me to send back for a refund. When I ordered, they were waiting on new stock to arrive a few days later. So it's still an ongoing issue & not exclusive to the earlier releases.
I never said it was exclusive to earlier cards, I only stated that Nvidia have said that earlier cards are more prone to the failure. I also pointed out that it's not exclusive to Micron memory. I myself have a Gigabyte Windforce 2080 Ti from release week. It has Micron memory and has been overclocked and used daily without issue.
@@jamesh8862 Those cards a very well ironed out. I have not found any more artefacts post on Nvidias forum since December. Anyway in worst case you are able to get a refund so beside losing 1 week till your new card arrives nothing bad will happen.

This is some clickbait! He doesnt want to contact Aorus lol - Does that mean when I took my Chucks out of the box and saw a scuff mark on the side I was wrong to call Chuck?! And then this BS about taking the card apart to see what memory was in there...
It's actually a simple problem... GDDR6 is still a unstable tier of memory since you ARE still pushing a extremely high rate of memory speeds overall compared to the many types of memories used.
HBM and HBM2 for instance is on the very low end, runs hot, but as a result is built to be a bit more durable than normal to handle the heat a little.
GDDR4 / 5 / 6 sees MASSIVE speed increases over the years and MASSIVE price decreases to 'build' (not to sell, they overprice these fuckers for the sake of capitalism).
I have the exact same problems here - artifacting, bsods, crashes causing failure to boot ultimately. Degradation progressed over a 6 month period until it became barely useable. Am now RMA'ing. However, mine has the Samsung GDDR6 memory rather than the Micron. Card is an nVidia 2080 Ti manufactured by Palit - GamingPro.
Trust me folks gravis cards are the future :)
I just returned the nvidia rtx 2070 founder edition yesterday before my return policy expired.. worked for about 3 days. Ran it on 2 monitors. 2ndary mon wouldn't turn on or it would randomly turn off.. next I just used it on single monitor (Acer pred2 set at 120hrz) . Games started crashing to desktop, followed by crashing PC, to Bsod. ..which.. followed to failure to post windows..(I would have to reinstall windows completly and wipe PC partitions).2 weeks of trial an error (corrupt os, ram, even mother board) I finally took the card back to best buy and exchanged it for evga rtx 2070. With fresh install of windows and driver... no issues as of yet..
So if you do experience what I went through.. it's the GPU. Great video
Crazy this is still an issue. Even hearing the issues on some of the new "super" cards as well. My Zotac AMP 2080Ti (micron) has been rock solid for over a year now. With my luck, I can't believe I dodged that bullet.
Edit: you don't have to tear down the card to find out whos VRAM it is, just run GPU-Z and Samsung modules were seeing almost as many failures as the micron Vram.
Silicon Lotto with expensive cards
Is this still going on?
Wassup Brian, yo videos are the best!
GPU-Z will let you know if you have micron or samsung btw and yeah, qc was bad on the micron chips.
I have 2 2080s in SLI... One with Samsung chips, one with Micron chips lol... hoping neither of them die
@@JulianUccetta The vast majority of cards with bad chips die very quickly with a few taking a week or two. There is a google spreadsheet floating around with more details but I can't seem to find it. I doubt you have too much to worry about after a few weeks though.
Micron only really care about server memory, so even on desktop their dram is typically a bunch of crap unless you buy Crucial[which Micron admit is cherry picked across the brand]. Micron GDDR5 was always worse, over-clocked worse and had more issues to Samsung and Hynix GDDR5, no reason to think they would magically fix their QC issues with GDDR6. Micron DDR and GDDR is 'fine' if it's a mature standard and comes with conservative speeds which you run... But yeah, they are down there with all the 3rd tier shit, but not complete shit ram manufacturers, even if unlike others; Micron pushes new standards as much as Samsung.
I have two 2080tis also, one founders from the first batch shipped out, and an evga ftw3 ultra.. neither has had any problems and have been used extensively. Issues seem to present very quickly if a card does have problems. I am not too worried about my cards, have had em OCd this whole time also. No problems in about 2000hrs gaming since october
@@JulianUccettatic tac tic...
I think ill pass this generation. My Evga 1070 FTW 1.0 with the Acx 3.0 cooling solution had a fatal design flaw that caused inadequate heat transfer away from the VRMs, causing fires at worst and a rapid death at best. People had melted their memory modules and even the PCB itself. Got it replaced with a card that included thermal pads in the hotspots, and I now feel lucky to have one of the best value cards.
Have had my Evga XC Ultra 2080 since Sept 2018, I replaced the TIM with Kyronaut a few weeks after I purchased it. It has Micron memory. *Crosses Fingers*
go try some RTX on. Micron shows issues fast with it on ultra in bfV
Unfortunate about the Micron. My EVGA XC Gaming has Samsung memory. Strange how the more expensive Ultra has worse memory
@@hxhgonkill My XC Ultra has Samsung. It was random early on now most should be Samsung
I would have returned that just to be safe. Next thing you know it's going to fail 1 day outside warranty and you are going to be left with a $700 brick. No thank you.
My EVGA Ultra XC 2080 has Micron been almost 2 months have never had problem and artifacting in games haven't overclocked it.
I don't need to RMA without having issues so yea.
I just upgraded from my founder edition 1070 that has Samsung but my FE 1070 were hot at 80C in during gaming had to sell.
Sadly I spent the last few days trying to figure out why games were insta crashing or loading in for less than a minute with artifacts and then crashing....it's a roughly two month old RTX 2070, and the memory downclock worked.... I'm just done
so does downclocking it fix the problem for you because i want to get a 2070 but im scared right now if i should buy it in case of stuff like this. but if there is a fix and that works i will buy it
@Cryotic. I have one myself that also had some isues and downclocking with afterburner works indeed, but if you are not sure don’t do it. You know, a 1080TI would be just as good except for rtx but you don’t need that
Emisminem ok thnx
Cryotic. Update, it only worked for 3 hours then my game crashed again..
Emisminem well 1080 it is
This scares me, I have a 2080 Ti :(
Regardless, appreciate the helpful information!

@@MDLMustang i bough GTX 1080 Ti 2nd hand for about $450 it's a good deal.
Well, my wait for AMD Radeon VII seems reasonable, mostly for content creation and longevity.
Yup. I can't wait for them. I think it would be my first AMD card?
Ty soooooo much for this, I had exactly the same issues with my RTX Card
Since I have a Titan Z CEO I haven’t felt the need to upgrade. Though it doesn’t matter, I’ve switched to an all AMD hardware solution. I’m simply tired of Intel’s pricing and Nvidia’s marketing BS. I just built a new workstation and for the first time I used all AMD hardware and it’s an incredible setup. Threadripper 32 Core 2990WX overclocked to 4.4Ghz using an external AlphaCool 2000, 1500W water-cooler solution, (seriously, this thing is amazing. I use quick connects outlets to connect it to the tower) and 4x Radeon Vega 20’s, These cards do not belong to me, they are borrowed from an Epyc server my firm bought for testing. They ultimately went with Intel and GV100’s for the GPU’s, they’re BoXx branded DGX servers.
Anyway, I asked if I could borrow the server since no one was using it, I wanted to experiment with some AI related projects, I’m a programmer who uses these servers ultimately anyway and the prospect of having my own server for testing and other tasks was appealing. The administration didn’t have any issues with it, but the server would have to go back in a months time, however I could still use the cards inside as they were paid for and weren’t going to go in the new servers.
So I simply built one, well I actually needed a new one as my old one was already 5 years old. There were still 2 Instinct 160M’s available that I think everyone forgot about after I plundered the server, so my ultimate plan is to use 2 of the Vega 20’s and than add in the two Instinct cards. I’ve never used an Instinct card before so it will be interesting. I do know that 4x Radeon Vega 20’s is already amazing, I mean editing and encoding videos are practically done in real time, so I can only imagine what 2 Instinct cards will do when I can edit and actually encode at the same time. I still don’t know yet, I mean the only difference I can see between the two cards is the memory, they are both Vega 20 architecture.
The Titan Z CEO by the way has been inserted into a eGPU external Thunderbolt enclosure for my new Razor 15’, 64GB RAM, 2TB Samsung 960 Pro M.2 drives (I replaced it’s 522GB drive), 4K OLED and a Nvidia 2080 Max Q(hence the Titan Z CEO. I wanted a CUDA system around as well as I do get code that only runs on it.
I am of course use this workstation for more than video editing, like I said before I wanted a test bed for AI. In which I’m it using deep-learning/mining for petabytes upon petabytes of static and Oracle based data to find quickly find connections, thus trends and other useful information. The ultimate goal is to find money where it is least expected by analyzing and forecasting opportunities in existing accounts.
I don’t know why I went into this so much, I’m just so exited about having such a powerful computer. I always used the servers at work and never really took work home, until now. Though now I have this, what is basically a supercomputer at home, I have a problem with time management. I have so many things I want to do but always get side tracked. Anyone ever been in this situation, how did you manage your time better?
Maybe so, maybe so - I'd still return it so Gigabyte's warranty people can investigate and determine the exact fault and kick in gear any corrective action for future production runs. Maybe I'm too much of an ideologist, but I trust a brand like Gigabyte would do this as opposed to simply replacing the card blindly (and any reputable company should be doing this - I was a warranty analyst for a big company that actually did do this). :-)
@Reggie Reginato
At least yours aren’t ASUS
I’m sure Gigabyte know all about the issue already from the faulty cards that they have had returned before this one failed. No company is going to tell the public what the problem is in detail. They have an RMA procedure and that’s where it begins and ends for customers that have faulty cards. The discussions with the component manufacturers behind the scenes would be interesting though.
@@moebius2k103 they can't rely on form posts for evidence - too high of a risk for tainted and incorrect information. And your right, companies won't discuss problems of this nature publicly for a large number of reasons (competitive through public mass hysteria). Even if it's a problem that is shared by competitors using the same component manufacturer for the same components.
Reggie Reginato ya, I agree, even if he doesn't feel the need to stir the pot and ask for a replacement, he should at least send his contact a message saying what happened and maybe link to the video, they may want to get it back to look at it if they are still trying to figure out the issue. They may also want him having a working card for benchmarking and testing since thats why they gave him a review unit to begin with. Doesn't hurt to send a matter of fact, this is what is happened and this is how I have gotten it to stop, message just for another input into the issue.
@@FireMrshlBill They've had hundreds if not thousands of these returned already, they know what the issue is, returning his one won't give them any info they don't already have. This is an OLD issue now, replacement cards are being sent out with samsung memory and have been holding up fine so far.
This is getting beyond ridiculous. Why even bother with anything RTX at this point? Just get a Radeon VII and be done with it. It's no 2080 Ti in terms of performance, more like 2080, but at least it would work and spare you lots of headache.
IMO, RTX was actually more of a sticker they wanted to put on the box for the 20x series to get pushed to the market. The main advantage of the series itself seems to be the much better thermals with an equal output. You can tell by the new "thin & light laptops" that are hitting the market which are really stunning machines.
You can have a problem, there won't be much of them. In the entire Great Britain there will be around 100 Graphic Card for customers. AMD sourly believe in sukces of Radeon VII.
I've gotten a faulty rtx 2080ti when I bought one, played 10 times on it in sessions of 1 hour and I got the card back to the store, reporting it was having trouble running at a stable framerate, they send it back to msi for testing and they said the card was broken beyond repair, so I received a brand new one which sadly had the exact same problem, so I went with my computer the the lab and had some tests with the experts on site, we tested several titles such as battlefield V, kingdom come deliverance, Wolfenstein the new collossus and ran a 3Dmax benchmark, on the benchmark, my computer had a score of 8850 which was extremely high they said, but when it came to gaming we ran into some big issues. constant heavy fps drops in every game especially Battlefield V (which was marketed alongside with the rtx2080ti) we had extremely noticeable drops in the game and it didn't run as marketed at all, so we decided to switch out the rtx2080ti for an RTX 2080 and then re-did all the tests, and everything went fine, the games ran smooth as butter, no more fps drops a very stable fps in all of the games (which wasn't the case with the RTX2080ti.) So now we have send reports to MSI and NVIDIA with the very clear results we've gotten on the card. But we're not hoping for any response from them since they're known for neglecting issues like this by just saying "ow it's normal that the card runs that hot, it's just a lot of power you know." So now I'm probably going to switch mine with an RTX 2080 super with tri-fans. eventually Me and 3 other guys had burned our fingers when touching the card that should cool down when having all the fans run at 100% :/
Why not wait for RTX 3080? It is better than 2080 Ti. The graphics card 2025 mid series will beat 2080 ti soon. Wait for series 3000 NVIDIA
I just bought and install an RTX 2070 last Saturday. I hope it doesn’t crap out.
underclock all your cards a bit to prevent shit like this
My theory is card makers are overclocking the memory too far out of the box, most founders edition reference cards are lower clocked. If I push my 1080 Ti memory too far I have the results you displayed and there is a really narrow area where it will begin to happen when it stops happening of only around 5mhz.
yeah, he just turns the memory-mhz slider back and then the test is successful.
Interesting video!
One thing I want to add is the importance of using separate PCIe power cables for each power connector rather than using a single split cable if you have a modern PSU working in Multi Rail OCP mode.
Failing to do this could result in sudden hard resets of your system triggered by the PSU to protect your system. A feature rather than a problem but rarely feels like it when your PC resets out of the blue...
You can also avoid this by switching your PSU to Single Ray OCP mode. That however might result in your PC stating to smell melted cables and/or PCIe power connectors or worse in the long run.
I’m so glad I watched this video, thank you for making it and explaining it so objectively. I have a RTX 2080 that worked perfectly for 2 months, after I built the system. All of my other hardware should have made a perfect environment for this card to work at full potential. I have never OC this card yet, and temps were peaked at 53°C. I received artifacts and crashes all of a sudden during AC Odyssey (graphic detailed, yes, but shouldn’t have stressed this card or the system much). I reached out to Nvidia, Ubisoft, and Gigabyte (maker of my card) and couldn’t resolve the issue. I just sent it back for RMA, before finding this video. I kind of wish I still had it so I could have tested dropping the memory.
As I’ve seen elsewhere, this seems just to be a possible downside of rushing to the latest tech. I’m not at all upset with Gigabyte about this, as long as my card is fixed upon return. Yes, I believe that manufacturers should work this out before full-scale production, but at least for me I cut some small slack for them if the issue is addressed promptly.

Vega 128 enough, why cry 7 Vega cores?
@@lucasrem hes talking about the new radeon 7 aka vega 7nm cards.
It looks just as bad as RTX to me :/
@@1rui I'm sorry to disappoint you but
It was officially unveilled by Lisa Su and the price was unveilled too : 699$
It's too expensive, according to a series of benchmark given by AMD it is 25-27% faster than Vega64 air and it's disappointing because it seems it's only faster because the core clocks are faster and that it has more than double the HBM VRAM bandwidth... Despite being a 7nm chip it's going to be a 295W TDP like Vega64. To me it seems like a lazzy port of Vega64 into 7nm... worse than that they decided to cut out 4CUs out of 64. Probably recycling the instinct GPU that didn't pass QC. Core clock was increased by 16% and VRAM bandwidth by 107%.. and only managing +25-27% more performance while the price is increased by 40%...
I'm no nvidia fan, my two last cards were AMD Fury X and RX Vega64 Liquid Cooled.
But I also recently got a RTX 2080.. and I realized a few things... I've benched and compared both cards... What I've found out is even worse than reviews...
In reviews they use to choose AAA title and care less for indies games... But me I've carefully benchmarked a dozen on my game in my steam library... And I play half AAA half indie games, on some game the Vega is so much slower it's terrible... For instance my RTX 2080 is 70% faster than my RX Vega64 LC on Ark Survival Evolded...
It's 48.5% faster on ATLAS.
41% faster on Dying Light.. 79% faster in No Man's Sky... that's insane...
And yet, in battlefield V, RTX 2080 was only 11.5% faster, the Vega64 LC was really close behind... On Anthem it was 20.5% faster...
And at least nvidia cards comes with added bonus technologies such as Ray Tracing and DLSS...
Regarding the pricing, both nvidia and AMD are bad.
@@SagittariusAx It's priced the same as an equivalent RTX. The downside is that it has no ray tracing. The upside, is that it works out of the box. :)
And given there are 1-2 RT capable titles out there, and turning on RT halves the FPS, the downside doesn't seem so bad. But personally, I would stick to the previous generation cards. These newest generations seem like a cash grab. I'd wait for better gens.
"dont want to bother Aurus...not their fault"
Are you actually being serious here?
It is their responsibility what they put on their cards. Noone elses.
Well, I guess it's a good thing they didn't put anything on the card but a fancy cooler with some lights now isn't it? :D this whole thing is on Micron for pushing faulty chips, and Nvidia for buying from them despite it being kinda common knowledge that they are shit. Aorus had nothing to do with the board or anything on it.
@@TheLunarCast But if you punter complain to nVidia, they'll just ignore you, if Gigabyte (Aorus) goes to see them, trust me they will listen. If Aorus do not know there is a problem, it won't get fixed.
@@TheLunarCast Well that depends, did the card maker purchase the right kind of memory from Micron or the other 2 suppliers, or are they running the chips out of spec. Do we know what the memory part numbers are so that one might be able to verify what clocks and temps those chips are supposed to be able to run at (per Micron)?

alexp247365 wow..Good for you sir...Hope mine won't fail..And if they do hope the replacement will have Samsung..
I wonder if the people making the micron memory chips are overclocking them by default to make them seem more impressive to buyers but they're actually only stable at 13ghz.
That's not a Vram fail, a vram fail will cause complete instantaneous image corruption. Example of this is tileing/ checkerboarding, others are random GUI glitches.

What you are facing is what could be power deliver issues, an issue with the automated overclock that is built into these cards, or overheating issues on the VRM's causing voltage drops.
Now with what is shown during the stress test it reinforces the above because the card keeps dropping the image but yet does not send the error to the kernel driver to halt 3D function and force a CTD and default to 2D mode driver until restart. The driver doesn't see this problem because the GPU itself is going brain dead for split seconds in intervals, try underclocking the card and see what happens.

Very poor from nvidia this gen. Cards should last years not weeks.
Very much having buyers remorse.

From the look of the card, it seems you can solder another memory chip on it. Of course the bios wouldn't be happy, but there may be a fix... I kinda want to test it.
I have MSI RTX 2080 Ti Ventus 11G OC and there is 10 years warranty for power modules. It is 4 years old now.

something I would consider with my experience with cooling paste in general..
And a couple of new cooling pads on the memory chips so they won't get as toasty as the gpu card itself, that's what I would have done if I had a card with this so called malfunction...

Because if you get a replacement as soon as it fail. You might end up with the same issue.
But if you wait near the end of the Warranty, by the time you wait with an underclocked card they will probably have resolve the issue and give you a good card with the warranty.
on the other hand if they do what alot of companies do and pretend the issue doesnt exist until people stop complaining, you get the new card, your warranty expires and the card dies, rip. nah but its nvidia I really doubt they'd pretend the issue doesnt exist, that'd really damage their brand, but I believe they've done similar in the past of ignoring issues? or was that other companies
i lowered all my clock speeds on my rtx 2070 now it works but feels like a GT card
