The majority off the complaints have been about the reference cards. At least that is what i have read.
This problem is not just reference cards right? Or is it?
Most cards in the market are reference, so there is that....
Not sure if at this point is just reference board.
So, if I get a EVGA card like any of these I should be safe?

Probably a botched vbios update or bios corruption.
Some very broken cards in there.
How many of these cards do you think Nvidia has sold?
Let's say they sold 10,000. A 1% failure rate would be 100 people with problems. Could 100 people make this much noise? I don't know.
I mean, Gamers Nexus did a live test with broken cards and he had like 20 that people sent in. And there are tons of threads here and on Nvidia forum and elsewhere of people with problems.
So what if it were a 5% failure rate. That would be 500 people. I think 500 people with problems could make enough noise on the internet. 5% would be bad, but that still means that 95% of people had no problems.
I actually think the issue may be overblown. Granted, I got a bad card too (or at least a bad driver) but I feel like there was so much negativity since the beginning, and it's an expensive card, it's probably just getting extra attention.
In the end the memory OC was the issue. However, I went though so many things to get it working, including completely replacing the PSU, I'm not sure it was the memory alone.Weren't your problems caused by your memory overclock? It's good that you got everything sorted. Going through an RMA can be a pain.

Also, I was running the memory at that speed for about 1 month with my GTX 1080s, so it's strange timing that all the problems started once putting the RTX 2080 Ti into the system.
I got game crashing, freezing, BSODs, black screens, failure to boot Windows, the whole nine. About the only thing I didn't see was artifacting. None of that happened until I got the 2080 Ti.
Yeah. It's been working pretty solid now with no crashing for the past week. I even reinstated my memory OC (with upped voltage) and things are still working.That was so frustrating!! Hope the rest of the time with your 2080Ti's is a lot more enjoyable
Been seeing more non reference cards fail too now.The majority off the complaints have been about the reference cards. At least that is what i have read.
Played Witcher for 3 hours and the screen started artifacting badly around light objects at first then randomly elsewhere 10 minutes later. Temps look normal to me low 70's fans are barely spinning per the profile. Switched to Destiny 2 since that what I play most and its artifacting everywhere. Mine was a Zotac triple fan. Was totally loving the card before this sour note. I think I will wait for a strix.
