repeated reports of RTX 2080 Ti failures and how those failures were piling up and making waves on Reddit and Nvidia’s own forums that nvidia had to put a public statement confirming the issue at question and promising to solve it. The statement however was pretty vague about what was the cause of the issue... Now after sometime it seems like the cause might have been unveiled and its the Micron GDDR6 memory.

Here another link which shows some rtx 2080 ti cards returned from RMA with the memory swapped to Samsung gddr6 :

You might question since All turning cards use micron memory, why people mostly keep reporting the flagship RTX 2080Ti cards for failure ?
the rtx 2080 ti has the highest memory bandwidth so my theory is that the micron gddr6 memory was not ready to operate at those high bandwidths that it resulted in high number of failure, While the rtx 2080 and 2070 have lower memory bandwidths they maybe ok
