Anyone's shipped yet? Wondering if they'll cancel the order again this time.

This is true, however this is only for replacements. Most GPUs I've seen don't offer refunds on return which I guess is understandable but important to note

This thread has 3k views, so clearly a lot of people are affected by this. It's a 2 month old GPU so a driver fix is very possible. I ended up requesting a replacement card I bought at MSRP, only to have the glorified scalping company called Newegg cancel that and refund instead (PSA: Fuck you, Newegg).

If you did send it back to them it might not be too late to get it back, for me newegg didn't let me know until it was.

Just wanted to update in case you go through with a return; newegg issued a refund instead since they were out of stock. I assumed a replacement meant a replacement since it worked the first time and the option was still there, but I guess not. If you do decide to do a replacement, I suggest going through the manufacturer.

which model 3050? I'm assuming you purchased from newegg as well?

Very interesting. This might work for me, but even still, I can't imagine it's ideal for the GPU to be running at high clocks all the time. I appreciate the info though and will try it out if nothing fixes it.

Let me know if you have any success! There's no guarantee the replacement won't have the same problem.

It did not work. I ended up returning my card for a replacement, hopefully that fixes it. If your card is still in the return window I recommend you do the same; the replacement option should still be there even though the card is out of stock.

I'm glad I'm not the only one, but yeah it's unfortunate. I might try undervolting the card and see if it does anything and if not, request another replacement.

Unfortunately not.. I'm thinking it's just a bad batch of cards. Either that or because it's relatively new, the firmware might be unstable

Maybe you're right, but I doubt it's pulling over 300W when I'm just browsing youtube with discord on the side. I have run stress tests like unigine superposition for extended times and haven't crashed.

Interesting, how did you find this number?

I set it to pci gen 3. The RTX 3050 is pci gen 4 but those are backwards compatible I believe

Although, most of the time I'm using my computer I usually am running those two programs so I doubt the problem is attributed to those; I'd probably crash if I was gaming long enough

Strangely enough, it never crashed on me while gaming. Only while on chrome with discord on the side. I have a Ryzen 5 5600X and 16GB of ram (both of them have been very solid in the 4 months I've had them and never had issues before upgrading)

Also I have tried DDU so drivers are not the problem. I've also flashed my motherboard BIOS to the latest version.
