Here's Why My RTX Graphics Card FAILED... (with proof - 2080 Ti)

  • With reports all over the internet of higher than normal failure rates for RTX 2000 series Graphics Cards (including RTX 2080 Ti, 2080 and 2070), I heard rumors of it being specifically related to the Micron GDDR6 Memory, though in this instance my RTX 2080 Ti from Aorus started randomly artefacting and crashing. I then investigated the issue and found it to indeed be the memory.

      This is more on Micron than on the GPU brands. They're expected to have stress tested their own chips before supplying them to the board manufacturers.

      the partners just replace the cooler on the reference cards and add various other things like RGB, better fans, or a bigger cooler. the FE cards don't have RGB yet they've failed too. its more down to the bad memory from micron, not cause more time was spent on RGB. you sound like a jackass.

      It's not surprising nvidia needs to keep competition fierce. This is due to amd becoming much better an closing the gap of the gpu market. Especially with the 7nm card coming. If amd has a card that does 2080 speeds or more for a 100 dollars yes. Nvidia will have to price drop.

We all expect a GPU to work regardless if you buy it for $450 or $1200. Furthermore I am certain that both AMD and Nvidia have high quality standards. the same issue can be said of cars. BMW, Mercedes and other manufacturers have high quality standards. Yet from time to time they all have issues and they are repaired or recalled for repairs.

    Interesting video!
    One thing I want to add is the importance of using separate PCIe power cables for each power connector rather than using a single split cable if you have a modern PSU working in Multi Rail OCP mode.
    Failing to do this could result in sudden hard resets of your system triggered by the PSU to protect your system. A feature rather than a problem but rarely feels like it when your PC resets out of the blue...
    You can also avoid this by switching your PSU to Single Ray OCP mode. That however might result in your PC stating to smell melted cables and/or PCIe power connectors or worse in the long run.

    It still looks very much like a power sequencing issue to me. There are multiple power supplies on the card that must start up in the specific order at power on time.
    It's possible that incorrect power sequencing results in a temporary 'out of spec' voltage condition on the RAM, causing incremental damage to the silicon every time the machine (actually the card) is powered on. With the various power management modes of the card, it's possible that same applies to those modes, and not just on/off power cycling.

      @@Kasapin5033 We've had a fair number of voltages and boost/power states on a lot more than just graphics cards for years now, but that's not the point. Sometimes a bad design makes it to market. I've seen the issue pop up multiple times on various designs and the symptoms of gradual degradation match what's going on with the RTX cards.
      There are multiple comments suggesting that both Samsung and Micron equipped cards have displayed the fault. We can rule out bad RAM.
      There have been thermal tests done under load showing that temperature was not the cause.
      So, something non thermal on the cards is killing good RAM chips, that leaves a voltage issue being the most likely culprit.

    • @MickyMouseLimited

      @@MickyMouseLimited The symptoms would certainly match the case presented in the video, but I think both the general instability/crashing and the space invader artifact issues are from the same cause (it just depends on whatever random damage happens to the RAM - causes different effects). A failing power feed cant account for the space invaders.
      We really need to see if the card degrades further.
      A good test would be to find the actual failure frequency, and stress test it just below that, see how long the continuing degradation takes to start affecting the card at the new frequency. Then re-adjust the frequency down to find the new stable point, rinse and repeat.
      From this information, we could estimate when (if) the degradation will start causing trouble for RTX2060 owners as well.

      My MSI 2080 TI Gaming X Trio has Micron, at least in theory, according to GPUZ. I've no plans on taking it apart to verify but my expectation is it's correct. Which is why I suggested this as an alternative method of discovery. FWIW the card was unstable initially, but after flashing with a 'unofficial' BIOS that raised the wattage limits from 330 to 405, and using MSI afterburner with a custom, more aggressive fan speed profile to keep things cooler, it's been stable. However, if ambient gets over 80 or so it will occasionally still have issues. For anyone considering overclocking it further, I suggest seriously considering water cooling.

    @denshi-oji494 5 років тому +33

    Failures are NOT only temperature related. Over the years there have been many cases where due to contamination, or new processes with smaller dimension designs, that over a period of time the slew rate of the chips drops. This means that the items will still operate well at LOWER clock rates, but not at the designed clock rates. The best thing to do is to look at the actual signals on the data lines with a O-Scope.
    This was even seen back in the Atari 2600 days with some releases of various game cartridges. When new vendors were sought for the high volumes of ROMs needed for the games. Occasionally a new vendor would produce a chip that just did not perform long term as intended. With bench tests, it could be seen that the memory data outputs would not have a good stable output at the normal clock speeds the Atari 2600 ran at, often only reaching up to the "undefined" logic level voltages, before the next memory data addressed would be output to the data lines. Clocking the chip at a lower data rate revealed that the data was in fact still fully readable when the addresses were held longer to get stable normal logic levels on the data lines.
    The same has been seen with various TTL and CMOS family logic chips with some production lots from various vendors, usually from new production lines. CPUs, Support chips, etc have also NOT been immune from these situations. So this is not a surprise to see in the world of fast evolving tech going into a very high volume and competitive world of Graphics cards.

    I’m so glad I watched this video, thank you for making it and explaining it so objectively. I have a RTX 2080 that worked perfectly for 2 months, after I built the system. All of my other hardware should have made a perfect environment for this card to work at full potential. I have never OC this card yet, and temps were peaked at 53°C. I received artifacts and crashes all of a sudden during AC Odyssey (graphic detailed, yes, but shouldn’t have stressed this card or the system much). I reached out to Nvidia, Ubisoft, and Gigabyte (maker of my card) and couldn’t resolve the issue. I just sent it back for RMA, before finding this video. I kind of wish I still had it so I could have tested dropping the memory.
    As I’ve seen elsewhere, this seems just to be a possible downside of rushing to the latest tech. I’m not at all upset with Gigabyte about this, as long as my card is fixed upon return. Yes, I believe that manufacturers should work this out before full-scale production, but at least for me I cut some small slack for them if the issue is addressed promptly.

    It's not necessarily a thermal issue, not directly, and could well be a timing problem. Certain residues (flux, etc) left over from the manufacturing process can be relatively inert at normal temperatures, but start to flow under the thermal conditions of benchmarking, changing their dielectric properties. This can lead to increased capacitance between pins of the memory module, especially in a BGA package, changing the rise and fall times of high frequency signals.

    try different board and cable monitor and i also did use a second monitor and graphic card
    probably bcuz the speed of the vram on them were too overclock, i dunno, but im glad i send it back this was micron memory too.
    so i ship it back in USA waiting for a replacement, PNY guys were comprehensive.
    i just wish this time i get a working one with different memory but i doubt....
    now i don't know if this happen few month later if this still going to be as easy to be replace
    most of the ppl still keep them bcuz they think it's a drivers issue....

  • @richardm4617
    @richardm4617 4 роки тому

    Is there any way you could give some advice on testing the GDDR6 memory itself? Are there any software diagnostics that can be run to test just that component directly? I understand the basic test of running down the Memory Clock using Afterburner and seeing if it affects benchmark stability, but that feels like a very crude test and I'm not entirely sure what it's actually telling us. Moreso for me, because my problems are not consistently reproduceable. I've been running Furmark, Cinebench and Octanebench for testing and probably only 30-40% of the time any of the 3 will trigger a total crash (either BSOD / artefacting / total system failure and reset). So I don't think I can really get a reliable indication by reproducing that test here. Is there an equivalent of MemTest64 that can be run on a GPU's onboard memory that you know of? Any advice would be appreciated. I will still RMA this card but I'd really like to have understood the nature of the problem, especially as there are many cases online of people that have had similar problems after 2 or 3 replacement 2080 Ti's. I really don't want to deal with this problem again, I've spent 2 whole weeks trying to diagnose and fix it, or at least rule out software as the issue. Having tried pretty much everything possible, I'm certain it's a hardware fault. But I'd love to know what exactly the problem is!

  • @nukedathlonman
    @nukedathlonman 5 років тому +7

    Maybe so, maybe so - I'd still return it so Gigabyte's warranty people can investigate and determine the exact fault and kick in gear any corrective action for future production runs. Maybe I'm too much of an ideologist, but I trust a brand like Gigabyte would do this as opposed to simply replacing the card blindly (and any reputable company should be doing this - I was a warranty analyst for a big company that actually did do this). :-)

      I’m sure Gigabyte know all about the issue already from the faulty cards that they have had returned before this one failed. No company is going to tell the public what the problem is in detail. They have an RMA procedure and that’s where it begins and ends for customers that have faulty cards. The discussions with the component manufacturers behind the scenes would be interesting though.

They may also want him having a working card for benchmarking and testing since thats why they gave him a review unit to begin with. Doesn't hurt to send a matter of fact, this is what is happened and this is how I have gotten it to stop, message just for another input into the issue.

    Edit: you don't have to tear down the card to find out whos VRAM it is, just run GPU-Z and Samsung modules were seeing almost as many failures as the micron Vram.
