Product launches rarely go off without a hitch. But knowing that provides little comfort when you've spent $1,200 on Nvidia's flagship graphics card only to have it fail right away. That appears to be what's happening to numerous people who bought the RTX 2080 Ti at launch, forcing Nvidia to respond.

Digital Trends reported this week that several RTX 2080 Ti customers on Nvidia's support forum and Reddit have complained about various issues with their graphics cards. The exact problems vary: people have reported "crashes, black screens, blue screen of death issues, artifacts and cards that fail to work entirely," the report said. Nvidia's replacement cards seem to suffer from similar problems too.

This is the type of issue that rapidly and understandably leads to angry users — nobody likes finding out that their high-end GPUs are non-functional from the factory, much less going through repetitive replacement cycles. So far, that’s the biggest red flag in all of this: Multiple reports from users claiming to be on their second RTX 2080 Ti, or to have had more than one card fail at the same time. That’s noteworthy because it implies that end users could be seeing much higher failure rates than normal. Anyone can get a single bad board, but receiving multiple bad cards in sequence can be a sign of larger problems.

Well this here is something that we don't see every day (read, never): an RTX 2080 Ti graphics card for $999. NVIDIA did announce pricing starting at that value for this particular graphics card, but pricing, as always with NVIDIA's Founder Editions, has always creeped towards the company's self-set $1,199. EVGA, however, has just put up a product page for their GeForce RTX 2080 Ti BLACK EDITION GAMING, a dual-fan solution (much like NVIDIA's own Founders Edition) with EVGA's iCX 2 cooling expertise that's being marketed at the unicorn-like $999 price-point, with a limit of 1 per household.
