Sure is what I'm thinking. I wrote into them inquiring if they run tests on each drive and just don't clear the history from it before shipping out but it's crickets in here. I think I'll send it back for an exchange today.
Are we looking at the 2nd contact from the bottom with the darker spot on the edge? Can't tell really what is going on with it but it kinda looks like something is on it. You might try a pencil eraser and q-tip with alcohol. Never know.
I'm leary as hell of ABS they clearly say "Brand may vary" for gpu with the market the way it is they are probably slapping the cheapest things they can get their hands on in them now. Surprised you got it with an EVGA let alone FTW Ultra.
So got a "supposedly new" XPG 4tb rgb vomit nvme m.2 drive delivered yesterday. Plopped it in and checked bios. Drive was listed sweet which is more then I can say for the 2TB EX950 Newshit sent me.
Boot into Windows and go straight to disk management where I was prompted to initialize a disk...
No point and posting up a screen shot of the single card I setup 3080 XC3 Ultra. Got in this que thing way late. LOL FTW cards are too long I'll run into my reservoir with one so the XC3 Ultra it is. Not to mention the first FTW is the same exact clock and specs just the FTW has rainbow vomit...
Wish B&H sold EVGA oh well. So what time potentially could we be looking at for this Best Buy GPU drop? They sell the card I want and less the that China ran Newegg. LOL
