My EVGA RTX 2080 Graphics Cards Keep FAILING

[@Ranger7Studios]

Hey Lee. So, I actually built the same computer as you and I was having the same problems. Error messages, blue screens, freezing, errors. I even took it to a computer shop and they couldn't even fix it. So, after some deep research, I found that it was my BIOS that was set wrong. I set mine to XMP. This utilizes the memory. So, the memory will configure the settings and set the overclock speeds. JayzTwoCents on KZbin has a great video on this called, "XMP vs Overclock". Trying some of his settings options might help. Hope this helps.

So I realize this videos over a year old, but I've had the exact issue with my EVGA 2080 Ti XC card. I've now gone through 3 RMA's, each card failing exactly like the last one - hard crashes, artifacts, etc. I replaced my PSU, updated BIOS, drivers, reinstalled windows 10 and even tested the cards in a known working PC... and still had the same problem with the cards. Really wish EVGA didn't use refurb cards for RMA's.

[@macrossmerrell]

The issues you describe can be power supply related as well. The 2080 can pull about 250 watts of power, which can quickly over power a weak power supply, especially if the power connections are in the same rail. You could try using the included power adapters and use the molex connections to split the power across different rails.

[@marux1977]

I have a suspicion there are overheating problems in your PC.

[@rickvestuto]

Contact EVGA they have the Best Tech support and return warranty

[@TheUnrealPancake]

You should definitely look at your power supply. The 20 series cards are very sensitive to power / voltage fluctuations. Also, make sure you have your BIOS set to factory settings.

[@Devar]

Take the side of your case off and point a desk fan right at it. If the issues go away, it's thermal issues for sure. Or make sure you've got the EVGA software installed for it and crank the fans to 100% manually (vs auto), see if the problems persist.

I am pretty sure you just need to update SSD firmware. I had same problem. Exactly what you described. Tries switching out all components one by one. At last i updated SSD firmware and that fixed everything. All the errors always looked like GPU failure. Weird how it goes sometimes. My vendor even shipped me a new card as well. They also thought it was GPU related. Do you by any chance have Kingston SSD? Though other manufacturers also display this problem.

[@MaxBoostMk7.5]

RMA quick!

[@PuppyHawk]

I had similar issues when I first bought my card, the problem in my case turned out to be that many modern power supply units require you to use a specific PCI 8 pin slot (if modular). it was pretty dark in my old tower case so I had accidentally hooked it up to an 8-pin peripheral slot which meant the card wasnt getting enough power when performing heavy tasks. for anyone having issues with a new card when performing heavy GPU tasks or with high performance games, I'd recommend to check your cables and PSU slots are not only properly plugged in but also in the case of corsair PSU's using the correct slots (the labeling can be a bit off). second is as mentioned below, to reset your bios after changing hardware and making sure it runs as standard. After that if you still have issues, consider only installing the drivers and not the nvidia or amd extras like 'geforce experience' etc. Finally if that doesnt work, consider rma if you werent having issues before. I had my old card die on me randomly and start crashing in a similar way to when my new card was plugged in wrong (apart from my old card the heatsink/fans were broken since it was hitting 100c when I debugged it).

[@MaxBoostMk7.5]

@ProPaks Sounds like you have a dying card. RMA it

[@Geordietom]

What happened with your replacement?

[@MaxBoostMk7.5]

Purchased ROG Strix 2070s-A8G mid October 2019 and it's still going strong, however the card I have is P/N#:90YV0D|1-MTAA00. I cannot find this part number anywhere on the internet regarding this card. Online it is rated at a different mhz than what GPU-Z shows for this particular card, could invidia have slowed the clock speeds and not bothered mentioning it? This card was purchased brand new in-store.

Make sure your motherboard and/or power supply aren't faulty. If you get replacement cards and they continue to have the same exact error I would start to suspect other components may be faulty and killing your cards. Good luck.

i had an very similar problem a couple of years back. I thought smth must have been wrong with my graphics card.

And finally, Lee is not your average mill computer geek, he knows his hardware and cabling, so the odds of him using generic parts are extremely low.

[@sorenmelchior]

@@LuLeBe Sorry for delay in reply... as for Premier, although I have it installed, I have not used it since I switched to DaVinchi as I prefer DaVinchi's work flow. When I get some free time I might try a quick render or two on Premier to run as a comparison test. As for Cuda that is an Nvidia tech, so if your workflow requires that, then you will likely be stuck with Nvidia cards. AMD cards use OpenCL which has some support in Premier.

[@danieljones8706]

It sounds like the issue is on Nvidia's end. People from all brands are having problems, mostly with the 2080. It also doesn't seem like a large number of cards are failing, just an unlucky few. Sounds like there was a quality control hiccup in the early production phase for their higher-end GPU components and so now we're seeing card failures, even though some of those cards have been discontinued due to the errors. Apparently some companies made mistakes with cooling which is another reason why some got discontinued.

[@goldcrownkingmod]

It's honestly accross all brands who distribute Nvidia cards not just EVGA.

[@mariansdraila]

@@goldcrownkingmod Yes but in this case the warranty is covered by EVGA.

[@michaelmao6180]

When did you buy the card? The first batch of RTX cards have the issues you described (due to NVIDIA's manufacturing). If the card is manufactured after around November, it should be fine. NVIDIA discontinued the 2080 and 2070 and replaced them with their 2080 SUPER and 2070 SUPER to better compete with AMD. Since NVIDIA don't manufacture those chips anymore, it's very likely that EVGA would be sending you old inventory that might be defective. Ask them to run tests on it before sending them to you, or you could ask for a refund and buy another card.

[@cliffpajaro8418]

Have had the EVGA 2080Ti since launch and have had no problems. Looking at your case I thought "lack of cooling" but the slow progression of your problem and it persisting with the 2nd card suggests possibly power supply or motherboard. Be sure to monitor voltages and temperatures using programs like HWMonitor or MSI Afterburner (yes, it works even if you have an EVGA card; looking at a graph is much better than current/max values).

The price of being a early adaptor. RTX have hardware issues including bad chips.

Haven't had issues with mine, bought it when they came out.

[@gyGrand]

@@twizted3k You got lucky, man. Apparently, the chips from one of the providers are dying super fast even right out of the box.

[@twizted3k]

@@gyGrand I heard something early on about a certain brand of memory on the chip having issues, but I had the good brand. Didn't know it was still a problem.

That's why it's one of the cheapest rtx cards available

[@djhoohaa]

But it isn't.

[@TheOnlyTwitchR6]

@@djhoohaa its not huh? anyone can go to ebay, look up "RTX 2080" buy it now, new, lowest first. and see that the evga cards pop up first. same applies to the ti, 2070, 2060, and all 1660 cards.

[@leohanley5935]

Lol I haven’t had a single problem with my 2080

[@vanchuvega3696]

Me neither

A lot of "cheap" manufacturers have a higher failure rate per 100 cards, that's one of the reasons they are cheaper. You save $50 vs. Asus or MSI or whatever on a $1100 card, is it worth it? Well, usually all is fine, but sometimes you just get unlucky (twice).

neXib EVGA is not a cheap brand

[@readcastor2977]

@@allansh828 Yep and way better than MSI lol
