So, based on the data so far, out of 61 total cards, 6 died and an additional 4 have "issues" such as BSODs
The "it died" rate (admittedly from a small sample range) seems to be hovering around 10% and, if you add in the BSOD and other issues, there's an ~16% of people who are experiencing issues.
Seems a bit higher than the ~3% one would expect on launch of a new generation.
Also seems, based on some of the responses I've seen online, that nVidia is aware there is an issue of some sort and is working hard to remedy the situation...nVidia isn't pulling their normal bullshit of deleting threads on the forum (yet) so I do hand it to them for handling the issue with a modicum of dignity.
That said, some of the AIBs need to remove their head from their ass. When the P67 SATA bug occurred, every mobo mfgr I dealt with (7 different mfgrs) cross-shipped new boards with RMA Labels for the old ones.
Zotac in particular in this case is doing themselves and the community a disservice by being assholes about RMAs for a known issue.
EDITED TO ADD: Thanks for BETA Testing for the rest of us. HAHAHA
