Used for a couple months, started to freeze during playing BF1, had space invaders artifacts then eventually didn't want to display graphics properly and couldn't boot computer.

Have sent back for RMA, but just wondering if anyone else had similar issues?

Comments

  • Did you get blue screen issues as well?

    • Yeah, well more like screen becomes pixelated and then system restarts

  • +2

    yeah, it's notorious that 2070/2080/ti , all have high failure rate

    some claims defective micron gddr6 is the culprit

    if you underclock the mem , the artifacts might gone together with freezing issue

    • artefacts also on those with samsung gddr6, I wonder this might relay to tsmc.

  • Sad, got it from the same deal, no issue so far, maybe because I didn't play much, what's the RMA procedure and how much it cost?

    • RMA procedure is that you send it back to Shopping Express using your own money.
      It costed me just under $30 for shipping.

      However, if you paid for this with Paypal, you can get refunded postage costs back.

      Just make sure you follow the exact procedure on the paypal guidelines, it requires that you have to take a picture of the box showing delivery address before you send it.
