RTX 2080 Update

An update on the somewhat-widespread RTX 2080 failures reported in very late October. Initial findings may indicate sub-par or poorly-contacting/conducting thermal padding on some cards.

I feel like this is a repeatedly common issue. I know a bunch of 1080's had this too.

I'm still just... annoyed with Nvidia. Despite my 1080 kicking ass I still don't like them as a company. The 2000 series feels rushed despite not actually having anything to compete with so what was the point to push it out too fast?
