Have you ever bought EVGA B-stock with problems?
Back in May, I bought an RTX 2080 on B-stock. I didn't install it, until last night. It has been sitting in its box, on a shelf.
A few days ago, I saw someone on another forum say they had bought a B-stock GPU and it had artifacting. They got an RMA replacement and that one seems good.
Well....my RTX 2080 ballooned my post time to 46 seconds, every time I restart or startup from a shutdown.
Last night's 20 minute test in Elden Ring seemed fine----although, EVGA's fans on their Turing cards are so loud.
I went to bed.
Today I booted the computer-----long post time. Loaded up Gmail and had a couple of screen flickers. One of the flickers was full of white rectangles.
I loaded Elden Ring and in less than 10 seconds it froze, full screen of square artifacts.
Looks like I may have to pay to ship this back----which is going to be like $30 if properly insured
I sold an un-opened B-stock RTX 2060 awhile back. I hope that one faired well...
