Not really v0018 related.  However, interesting to learn.  Received a batch of Gigabyte 1050Ti 1506 Boost Clock edition cards from Amazon last week.  Installed them in a rig and they hashed at an insanely low rate (single digits).  I swapped out risers, swapped cards between rigs, and they just would not hash.  You can tell these cards have issues because the DAG file % complete lags way behind the other cards during the DAG file build.  Running the card as a stand alone the DAG file builds quickly and the card hashes fine.  The minute you add it with another card the hash rate tanks.  Even with the same manufactured batch (serial number off by a couple digits).  After comparing the serial number to the 48 other Gigabyte 1050Ti cards I have, I noticed that the serial number is a very low/early edition number compared to all the rest of my cards.  My hunch is that these cards were sitting in a warehouse corner for years and they were a failed production batch with crap memory.  Sent them back to Amazon as defective.  

Anyone else had crap card inventory show up since May/June time frame?
