Nvidia recently announced their RTX 20 series of GPUs based on the Turing Architecture to much praise and fanfare however customers who were lucky enough to receive their RTX 2080 or 2080Ti already are reporting severe issues.
Users are reporting startup woes and severe artifacting with the most likely culprit being faulty GDDR6 modules incapable of operating at the default clockspeed that Nvidia ships their GPUs with.
With the sheer amount of reports it’s clear that Nvidia have avoided quality control before shipping with a particular batch, this could be contributed to the fact that Nvidia aren’t meeting demands of their early pre-orders with many orders still being unfulfilled. Leaving some customers no choice but to cancel their orders as there was no clear indication of their GPU arriving anytime.
