GDDR6 Micron Memory in RTX 2080 Ti GPU

[TIG]

Guys, have you heard about the degradation effect for GDDR6 memory available in certain RTX 2080 Ti GPUs which might lead to frequent gaming crashes with time. Shorten shelf life it seems!!!

Any thoughts??

Just after two weeks my Asus RTX 2080 Ti GPU started to fail, never even overclocked it either.

I used GPU Tweak 2 when I got my ASUS RTX 2080 Ti and found it is not at all stable. Then I removed it and used the RTX 2080 ti just without any overclocked and worked fine. After that, I used Afterburner and it is OK with about 2020 MHz OC but still I believe working with a GPU without OC would be more stable.

Now I have to unbox everything and see if that works ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, I hope this works...

Update: Didn't work still.

its not the VRAM chip its the PCB that has circuits running below the VRAM that heats the VRAM from the bottom aswell. Its not a VRAM fault, it is a poorly designed PCB of default PCB's

The GPU I got had a custom PCB instead of a reference one yet it still ended up defective. If that is the case how come Nvidia is switching the makers of the VRAM to Samsung instead? NewEgg says they have been having an alarming amount of RMAs for these cards.
