Nvidia’s recently released
RTX Turing graphics cards are the most powerful consumer GPUs ever made and support exciting new gaming visual features like deep learning supersampling (DLSS) and ray tracing. The performance enhancement over the last generation isn’t as dramatic as first hoped, however, and inflated pricing has left
some concerned about the real audience for such cards. Mere weeks after they became widely available, quality assurance concerns now join those earlier issues.
Threads have been
cropping up on Nvidia’s forum about dead and dying RTX 2080 Ti cards for weeks now, with almost every thread filled with hundreds of comments
highlighting crashes, black screens,
blue screen of death issues, artifacts, and
cards that fail to work entirely. There are some reports of issues with the 2080, too, but the majority reference problematic 2080 Ti cards.
