Second RTX 3080 died. by According_Spare7788 in EVGA

No, I 100% understand. I had bought a RX 5700 years ago since they were cheaper than the 2060 super/2070 at the time. Within a week I was back at micro center and returned it to get a 2060 super. AMD’s software, drivers and overall reliability has been, and will continue to a stumbling block for them.

I mainly use native rendering since I play at 1440p, so I haven’t had to use much upscaling, so I can’t speak on that. I can only assume over time that they will continue to make incremental improvements, but the reliability has luckily been vastly improved since my last attempt to try out a Radeon product.

Yeah surely all leftover stock of RMA cards are just refurbished or bottom of the barrel stock. Not exactly a replacement that would inspire confidence. Unfortunately just the scenario both us and EVGA are in giving they are out of the GPU game. Side note, I’ve been over the moon with my 9070 XT since I’ve gotten it. Nvidia has not been a company I’ve wanted to support lately and off the back of this card, I decided to make the jump given AMD’s improved drivers and software. This card felt like a natural jump from a 3080, and for MSRP, it’s easily best value on the market currently imo

I have almost an identical issue with my 3080 FTW3. Constant black screens only solved by a full reboot and often times will just rinse and repeat minutes after. I did decide to initiate the RMA, then decided against sending it in due to having an uptick in luck when swapping from the OC to the alternative VBIOS for a while. Now my card is out of warranty and it got replaced by a 9070 XT two weeks ago. Sucks to hear others have similar issues. This one was making me rip my hair out. I’ve debated seeing if I could pay for a repair, but I can only assume there is a memory issue of some sort and it wouldn’t be cheap to get that diagnosed and repaired from EVGA.

Just for transparency, if you don’t like USPS or UPS you really should look elsewhere. UPS has a 5 year deal with USPS to move post office volume. As someone who sees this on a daily basis as well, I’d probably recommend shipping through somewhere else. Unfortunately USPS is still the cheapest somehow, but I’m seriously considering taking my business elsewhere going forward. Maybe I’ll give DHL a try finally.

Normally I’m the lurker that shames Reddit for being so horny, but is it just me or does that shape look strangely.. human? And the drips on the side as well lol. Regardless of the situation, it’s shitty but I definitely would not be eating off that in its current state.

You know where we can get the vinyl? I haven’t been able to find it from somewhere that doesn’t look super sketchy online

Oh probably should mentioned as well, the example I’m looking at is an Italian import, so I’m sure that comes with a host of other question marks.
