If you have a RTX Space Invaders, drop me a mail. I am looking for a RTX 2080 Ti Founders Edition card to buy. So before you send it in for RMA to NVIDIA, give me a chance to buy it.

Oh hell, what is Kyle up to? Going to throw them into the oven and try to bake them? Use it as a second SLI card? Giant keychain?

TELL US!
 
I would imagine this call is to test the full Ray Tracing capabilities of the hidden Space Invaders game that was included in all the RTX GPUs.
It looks like you unlock the game by simply overheating the GPU during normal use.
 
This is great!.....except despite all the happily expectant posters this news has generated; none (myself included) have been able to proffer the wanted item.
 
Cure? I miss something?
Best way to be sure you've identified the problem, bro. A million ways to break a card. Only one to fix it. If you can manipulate the card into working condition, then you've exactly located the issue. It's just a guess. It's what I'd be trying to prove.
 
I remember offering money for one of those Newegg plastic "Nigerian i7" .
Never got a bite.
 
Go to 19:35 on this video on gamersnexus.


You see space invaders right when furmark (Kombustor) crashes. Yet NO ONE mentions this, not even Steve...

Uh, excuse me, why would you attempt to get us to skip past the adorable Snowflake?! Is that a bannable offense or just like, an infraction. Seriously, I want to pet that cat ( might be the Double IPA, whiskey, and Vodka all talking though.)
 
Still running my 2080ti FE no problem. If it dies though i'll let you know. I'm past the point of no return for the return period.
 
Better be careful, Kyle. There's a rumor going 'round that you can get a social disease from a bad RTX 2080 ti if you don't mount it right:

I'm certainly trying my best.

Core and memory overclocked to the limit and marathon sessions of graphically intensive games with the frame cap turned off. If it's going to go out, I want it to happen BEFORE I slap a waterblock on it.

So far it's holding strong and I don't expect that to change, despite the issues we've heard about.
 
He will be starting a collection to prove to Nvidia that NDA's don't pay !!!

I wonder if Kyle is going to cook them in an oven or something. Stranger things have worked before.
