So I finally caved in to the upgrade itch and bought an open box EVGA RTX 2080 Ti XC Ultra from Microcenter. Was marked down to $1015 with full manufacturer warranty intact. Got the card home and installed it - fresh install of Windows 10, system imediately locks up on the account creation part of Windows 10 setup. Card artifacts and eventually BSOD's with Video scheduler error. Contacted EVGA support after trying the card in a 2nd system and getting the same results as soon as it gets into Windows. EVGA was awesome as usual and is taking care of me, they are sending me a replacement card, should be here in the next few days. The person I spoke to at EVGA made a comment that someone else had registered the card and clearly had just returned the card to Microcenter rather than going thru EVGA support. After my RMA was approved and I packed the card back up - I decided to peel back the "open box" sticker that Microcenter had slapped on the box:
Don't care at this point, EVGA taking care of me. They even asked if I got a good deal on the card, lol.
