R.I.P. Asus GTX 1080 Ti OC Strix!

Shows artifacts at stock clocks after the card gets above 68-70C and will usually hard lock or crash the game the any game after ~5-6 mins. Have to underclock it by -250Mhz to keep it from artifacting/crashing.

The RMA process really is a complete joke compared to EVGA. Previously I had been going with EVGA graphics cards going all the way back to the 8800 Series cards. Had done RMA process with EVGA twice in the past so was pretty familiar with EVGA's RMA process. Anyway got an RMA approved with ASUS for this but a little annoyed they have nothing like Advanced RMA like EVGA does. I'd be happy to pay to get a cross-ship a new/refurb card like EVGA does. But it's not even an option to do this. I wasn't actually originally planning to get an ASUS card but they had them in stock well before EVGA released their 1080Ti models.

Now I'm kinda leary about my Asus Maximus VIII Hero motherboard & Asus GL502VM laptop.. Hopefully those continue working for many years to come!
