Just got the card a couple weeks ago; Zotac AMP 2080 and was working great up until last night when I was stress testing my 2700X and RAM to make sure it was stable after . In the middle of running Prime95 after doing a mild OC on my CPU (4.2 GHz) my display just went out. The PC seemingly kept running with no other indication of crashing, but I just assumed it crashed still because it was a new OC I was trying out. Normally when an OC fails though, my mobo (Asus ROG Strix X470-F) will reboot back to stock/default speeds and all is well again, but now every time I turn it on, it seems to boot normally other than the white LED indicator on it that stays on that indicates something is wrong with the video card.
I checked the power connections to the card, the 8-pin connector was a tad bit pulled out, but the issue persists after securing it into the plug. I also pressed on the card firmly to make sure it was in the slot good, but didn't fully reseat it yet.
Didn't have time to swap cards out yet with my son's box to see if the issue follows the card, but I will tonight. Just wondering if there's anything I can try with this card to revive it maybe before I initiate an exchange with Amazon since it's under 30 days old. Googling the issues with the RTX cards, it seems most of them are on the reference PCB cards, which I don't think this card is on just by looking at its cooler on it. So if this one did die, I'm chalking it up to just bad luck rather than a systemic issue with the cards.
