I remember this capacitor "issue" when the cards launched.

Wasn't the basic consensus that all the boards actually did have the minimum specs, hence no recall, just that some boards went out of their way to use more MLCCs?

So knowing that.. is this not a problem with the game or how this person has overclocked... or both?

I think it was patched but people are speculating maybe it emulates something bu tI removed it from OP until there is something more concrete

 

[spons]

How is this even possible? I can't think of any technical reason why this would happen.

 

[Kenpachii]

How is this even possible? i can't even think of a way that this could be possible. There is no way in hell new world can effect anything that involves bricking those gpu's.

 

[j0hnnix]

Id be more worried of someone "dumping" their life savings in a gaming PC than a card being fried due to poor design.

New World, New 3090.

Like u got something called warranty u know.

But the guy dropped his life savings into a 3090, so yea the down syndrome is high with those clowns.

 

[Clear]

Seems unlikely to me that the game would use anything other than standard DX interfaces to send commands to the GPU, so I'd suspect that the fault is with the cards and not something catastrophically dangerous the program is doing in and of itself.

To be honest sounds like an issue with the card's drivers and how they interact with these particular models.

 

[Skifi28]

I somehow doubt devs code/optimize for each individual card. Sounds more like a driver issue/bug coming to light.

 

[Armorian]

Something like that shouldn't be possible on non heavy oc cards

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Reminds me of the time Epic Game store would crank up your GPU temps just for opening the app.

 

[Jigsaah]

Everything I'm seeing seems to blame the uncapped frame rate of the game. If you decide to play, regardless of your GPU, cap the game to 60 fps.

 

[Yoboman]

PC has the best technology, graphics and now the best fire hazards

I mean what the hell… CS : GO uncapped is not setting GPUs on fire

 

[Jigsaah]

Yea true, it's also a 20 year old game. Plenty of time to optimize.

I'm just saying. I'm on the login screen right now, 65 degrees with a capped framerate. I uncap it and it goes above 75 degrees pretty easily.

 

[Soodanim]

Every time I’ve heard of a game “Killing” a GPU, it’s because it’s running a game at 2000fps in a menu somewhere. Cap at 60/141/whatever depending on your refresh rate, and if you really want to use Fast Sync for CS:S/GO then set custom settings. You don’t even need RTSS, it’s in the firmware.

If you don’t have a cap I feel sorry for you, because you haven’t learned from the past.

 

[SJRB]

Smart business, Amazon. Brick GPU's so people are forced to buy a new one. The game should have a redirect to the amazon store page so people can buy a new GPU.

 

[Azzurri]

Shit, I have the a eVGA 3090 FTW3 Ultra and was playing NW yesterday, but didn't seem to have any problems, albeit only for 30 min.

 

[McCheese]

Blame the drivers not the game.

 

[Life]

It's fine just order a new one on AMAZON........

 

[Ritsumei2020]

Never the tag ‘drama’ has been more appropiate,

If a shitty beta fried my 3090 I would be fucking crying

 

[drotahorror]

If you play this shit game you deserve it.

Spoiler

I'm kidding but the game does look fuckin terrible

 

[Pagusas]

I almost want to test this out, I have watercoooled evga 3090c and even in stress test my dual rad system keeps it under 55c. Wonder what this game would do to it.

 

[RoboFu]

It’s probably faulty hardware mixed with like an non fps limited menu screen that shoots up to 5000 FPS on these cards.

 

[Hari Seldon]

This is 1000% on the hardware and drivers. Drivers should prevent runaway thermal issues and hardware should cool it enough so if the drivers fuck up the card doesn't permanently damage itself.

Is it only EVGA cards? TBH that company was recommended online back when I bought my 1080, but I think it was all astroturfing. My 1080 was coil wined out the ass and I would never buy another one of their cards. I remember they also had some type of recall for something. I am not buying anymore EVGA cards.

 

[Shmunter]

Finally a game pushing expensive gpu’s to the limit

 

[ManaByte]

I played about 5 hours yesterday on my 3080. No problems.

 

[ManaByte]

 

[Thief1987]

Amazon's gaming venture become more succesful with each passing day.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

There was a fix from Nvidia, awhile back. The game seems to bypass that fix and cause 3090s to draw their maximum wattage.

 

[CloudNull]

Obviously most people know it is a driver issue but Gaf won’t care. I’m here for the dunking on Amazon and the memes.

Game is amazing and butter smooth on my 5700xt.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Back in the day, I had 3x 6600GTs die back to back from playing roller coaster tycoon 3, been on ATI/AMD ever since.
Didn't think something like that could ever happen again, let alone with their top end 3090; that's an expensive joke.

 

[ManaByte]

Again this is EVGA's problem with their card. I have a Geforce 3080 and it's fine.

 

[Fbh]

"But can it run Crysis" to be replaced with "but can it survive New World?"

 

[Spukc]

well they did fucking state it's a BETA

 

[Farawayfromhell]

 

[Md Ray]

Is this specific to EVGA? Has anyone tested this game using a different brand/manufacturer's 3090?

 

[Danknugz]

Is such a thing even possible?

 

[ManaByte]

Seems specific to EVGA as it's a card defect and not a game defect.

 

[TyphoonStruggle]

If it's only EVGA 3090's bricking then it sounds like an EVGA design issue.

Also that tweet about people "putting their life savings into a $2000 card." Those people are idiots. And that tweeter is an idiot.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

How is this even possible? I can't think of any technical reason why this would happen.

Bezos too stronk for 3090.

 

[Kenpachii]

Makes a lot more sense, i can't think of any way that a game can brick a gpu.

 

[RoadHazard]

Id be more worried of someone "dumping" their life savings in a gaming PC than a card being fried due to poor design.

That's the dumbest shit I've read today. No game should be able to brick a GPU no matter what it tries to do. And devs can't test every single hardware combination on the planet. This is 100% on the GPU manufacturer, their card shouldn't behave like this.

 

[RNG]

That's pretty bad.

 

[Manwithoutfear]

Seems specific to EVGA as it's a card defect and not a game defect.

the only good thing about this (if you can even call it that) is EVGA has amazing customer service. I've had to replace a card before and it was no hassle no issues and an easy process. not going to lie though i have a 3080 FE and makes me scared to play haha.

 

[Revolutionary]

Doesn't seem to be only EVGA 3090's. There's at least one Gigabyte 3090 that bricked in the Reddit thread linked in the OP

 

[kingfey]

Of topic, I saw those cards today at my job. I get to actually see them face to face, yet I can't get one. F luck.

 

[OverHeat]

My 3090 will not be playing that game thx for the heads up

 

[iceatcs]

The new world indeed. The possibility of risk for any game could brink the GPU.
