When my card worked, I enjoyed every second and thought it was worth the high price. Now that it's dead and am going through an rma with asus I'm not so sure. Using my old 980 is getting old at 1440p quick though lol.
When my asus dual 2080 ti died last Friday I could smell burning from the card pretty strongly. No burn marks that I could see. But it also has a thick backplate I didn't want to take off. I've been using my old video card and no problems since.
So I had an Asus Dual 2080 ti die on me after a month sadly. Games started crashing after a few minutes with no oc, then artifacts like crazy, then dead.
