RIP: EVGA 3080

Hello fellow Hivians!

Tonight is a sad night. My 3080 graphics card has moved on to a better place. She was too young to leave this cruel world... only 4 months to be exact. Alas, she was taken and will spend her afterlife days in the EVGA refurbish stockroom hopefully awaiting the day she will be reincarnated as perhaps a Christmas or Birthday gift.

I've known there was an issue as she was showing signs of illness in the way she would flicker and randomly turn off or lose signal so I can't say I wasn't prepared but loss is never easy...

Anyways, in the short time I've had this evening since I've removed the card, and subsequently installed an old card, I have found countless people with similar issues to what I faced. Quite frankly it is incredible to me how poorly this new series of Nvidia graphics cards are holding up. Prior to this beast I was rocking a GTX 970 and it was still kicking after close to 6 or 7 years.

Anyways, if any of you happen to have one of these cards and experience signal loss or flickering just know the card's time may be limited.
