Asus Dual RTX 2080Ti, uses reference PCB. No issues whatsoever. Temps never exceed 76 using a custom fan profile. Max fan speed is 80%.
Mine lasted about 7 hours.
It was running Valley 1.0 at 4096x2160/60 for that time.
No issues during and after the test.
Then after shutting down the system and booting back up a few hours later the problems started.
Audio stuttering, then artifacts and a screen full of space invader characters! System locked up hard.
Powered off, rebooted and same thing as soon as Valley was launched. Any 3D app actually. (even windowed).
Let the card cool to room temperature and tried again. It seemed to last longer (2 min!) before doing the same.
Eventually, it would only boot to Windows VGA mode and then it finally went poof (no smoke or anything dramatic) but no longer recognized by the system.
Completely inexcusable for a $1200 graphics card! My Titan X (Maxwell) and 1080 (non Ti) cards are running beautifully still. And will continue to do so until either NVDA gets their act together OR AMD comes through with something competitive. (and doesn't require a 2kW PSU!
)
My card did have Micron memory but that doesn't seem to matter as Kyle's (replacement) card with Samsung memory also died.
I love how the (2080ti) performed. It was definitely noticeable. For the $$$? Yes because it's a bargain compared to Titan V!
