I am not sure is such a better idea with the 3080 link removed

My last 2 nvidia cards have had the same issue. 970 / 2070s, in some games/certain engines the factory OC wasn't stable. Sounds like this time with the very limited headroom the factory OC cards have a high % of crashing as they are too close to the limit even without OC. Either that or it's just driver issues. 🙂

what a shame with such an expensive card, also Zotac and EVGA are a shit partners, i advice to buy : nvidia ( gigabyte or the powered MSI); amd (sapphire or gigabyte or powered msi) all other partners are trash, and founder edition always comes with bad cooling system, i think that underclocking is not a good idea also overclocking is just a fast way to get artifacts and such problems, don't listen to those people that pushes us to do such a dumb things, and Guru3d should not suggest to people to do that.

That is a bit concerning really but then this is a power-hungry card and the first consumer card, I believe, that requires 2x8 pin connectors and 320W of juice. Kind of glad that I was unable to buy an RTX 3080 at launch now as these people will now be beta testing the product for NVIDIA. I was going to purchase the Founders Edition card until I read the reviews of the ASUS TUF Gaming edition and its low load temperates of 62-65 C then decided that might be the more ideal card for me, especially as it was selling for £649, the same as the FE card. Problem is trying to get one of them. I think I will wait before purchasing one, although I do have an 850W Corsair PSU, and see what the outcome is over the coming months. It is possible that the cards have a hardware flaw that only becomes apparent with heavy continuous use rather than just running dozens of relatively short-in-comparison benchmarks like what reviewers typically test when reviewing these products.

Well supposedly Nvidia didn't give the AIB's must notice to build there cards. It very well could be some sort of hardware issue, factory overclocks, unstable machines, drivers, under powered PSU's. Any number of those things.

No probs, people still killing each other to get one of these cards. Turing 2.0 alias Ampere I mean Alpha test 0.1

FE

If dropping 50-100mhz helps - What happened to safety margins of 20%? Or what we've come to take for granted as overclocks / Turbo? At default clocks the GPU should be able to run 24/7 for 2 years especially in the EU as it's law (last time I looked).. even if your an 'anti climate' mining monkey. Tesla's, Quadro's and GRID's all run lower clocks as they really can't crash even with air inlet temperatures of the server reaching @40c (to be honest none of the servers I worked on were never stable 40c at inlet but that's what the OEM's 'environmental specifications' say, so the customer should expect).

Who has the card has 2 choices, RMA or underclock. Underclocking is also part of a decent debugging of the problem, i m not sure why you say is dumb. You may want to wait a new firmware and not RMA yet figure out if is your PSU at limit because is or isn't a monorail and this kind of things.

they had months to design their cards based on the reference schematics.

Could be related to windows power plan. My VR headset would set PP to high performance (which had power down HD after 20mins by default). Once the hard disk power down kicked in my pc would lock up and black screen. Turning the setting off fixed it.

Phew, hadn't had that problem yet but on the other hand the card only boosts over 2GHz occasionally and doesn't really stay there for a long time. Tried some OC while running FS Extreme and the card had no problem boosting up to 2070MHz for a short while but on the other hand such tests only last a moment. Played Control yesterday which is quite demanding but I'd say that my clock average was 1950-1980. I'd check with HWInfo but since the card clocks down completely when entering menus or inventory it wouldn't give an accurate reading unless I just fool around for 2-3 minutes.

Guess you got one of the good ones 😉

AMD blackscreen got enormous mount of backlash, lets see how Nvidia does....

The blackscreen isn't a crash as opposed to AMD's. It's literally VRR/Freesync displays going out of range and can be mitigated by turning the feature off screen side.

Nvidia also got roasted over the space invaders on the 2080Ti. So they each get there fair share.

Yeah 🙂 But I'm also wondering if it's due to people using one PSU PCI-e cable for both 8-pin sockets (if they have a dual socket card)? Seen 3080 videos where one can clearly see those daisy chained solutions. I always thought it's safer to use individual cables for each socket.

with all the talk about it, if they are they lose their rights to a pc 😡

The majority of which was caused by motherboard manufacturers pushing pcie 4.0 support on chipsets other than X570. The problem completely vanished when late October - early November the new Bios came out and culled 4.0 support on non X570 motherboards. Anyone who had B450/350 X470/370 and set manually 3.0 in their bios settings instead of Auto/4.0, had the problem disappear the same day And AMD was screaming to not provide support for 4.0 outside X570 boards. FYI Intel systems had no such issue because 4.0 wasn't supported. A good dig search on reddit will find the significant majority had this issue. OR they had the Evoke which needed to add some extra settings on the driver display section to add more power to the port.

No crashes yet with palit 3080 gaming oc. Using Seasonic 1000w titan

as posted in the 456 driver page I've got the same crashes on a 1080ti and if you don't know who you're talking with I have 440hours of subnautica 1625hours of skyrim etc...I easily play more than 40hrs a week and have done so for more than 10 years I know some games better than devs ever did (with modding tools) so if I say it's the drivers..it's the drivers I rolled back to 452 no more CTDs sad to see people doing x-files theories when the drivers are 100% faulty in the 1st place and yes a higher clock/overclocking doesn't help, it's the 1st thing I did when I started CTD every xx minutes on borderlands 3 on which I already had 130hours with zero crash before those 456 drivers..going back to a slower clock around 1920Mhz (which is the 100% default clock on my msi) only allowed me to play longer before CTD than 1974Mhz but they were still ther I also have more fps with the 452 drivers so something is wrong with those jayztwocents made a video about overclocking 3080 memory and it kills the fps because they do so many errors so it may be that the faster 3080 memory get it worse than me yes I know the 2080ti launch was a nightmare, but when they glitched I didn't have the same exact problem with a previous gen card, and now I have the exact same problem 3080 have at the same time that was on intel but I have a threadripper pcie 4.0 same thing with the 1080ti and a 1200w psu and my 1080ti draws 320+watts too (with a 384watts peak once) so none of those are the reason of the crashes in case you tought they were

prices for the cheapest rtx 3080 in Europe = 1012 dollar / 850 euro nvidia founders edition 840 dollar / 720 euro even these 3080's aren't gonna sell That good i think , at least not in Europe i'm good with my 2080ti oc , that's oc'd to 2100 for now that's way too much , they're taking the piss again , nvidia , with these prices rtx 3090 ... 2000 euro / 2300 dollar just laughable !!
