If it's happening to 3090s only then it's almost certainly a VRAM overheating issue.
This wouldn't brick the card, it would lead to one of PCIE cables isolation melting off and potentially doing a short and catching a fire.Jayz2cents has a theory (7:18 if the play video from this point thing doesnt work)
Traditionally, some of those have put all their focus to disperse the GPU's excess heat into the environment. Only in recent - dunno 5-6 - years more emphasis was put on other thermally loaded components, the newest of which being the memory chips.I'm actually impressed that those planet sized coolers are letting the cards die.
Is this a problem of thermal density?
Is it any different on their 3090s in comparison to their other 30 series 3 fans cards?https://www.igorslab.de/en/evga-geforce-rtx-3090-vs-amazons-new-world-design-caused-evga-problem/
He thinks its the fan controller EVGA is using.
Yay EVGA!The good news is EVGA also confirmed that any RTX 3090 FTW3 cards that did fail from playing the game would be “completely under warranty.” Amazon officials for New World haven’t yet responded to PCWorld’s request for comment.
uhhh 3090's were released in September 2020 and most have 3 year warranties anway. Yay EVGA for honoring their warranty?Yay EVGA!
Indeed, it's worrysome that people actually cheer for a company honoring basic warranty.uhhh 3090's were released in September 2020 and most have 3 year warranties anway. Yay EVGA for honoring their warranty?
From experience I know Evga has one of the better warranty policies for people who like to overclock cards. Wouldn't expect any less from them in this situation.PC World:
Amazon defends alleged GPU-killing game, but will patch it anyway
Amazon patching New Horizon with menu fps cap while downplaying to the point of denying it was their game's fault. Also some info about nVidia and EVGA:
Yay EVGA!
Circuits are not designed to be be under absolute constant 100% utilization, and this is a real shame.
