DO NOT BUY THIS GAME IF YOU HAVE AN RTX 30XX SERIES GPU

[likeayysir]

Due to the toxicity i am receiving from this post trying to inform users of the risks of playing this game i am posting fresh news about this since people have a problem with some videos from 2 months ago which are still relevant.

It will brick your graphics card via heating it up until artefacts appear or it straight up dies.

disclaimer: this is not a post to debate which graphics card are better made than others. the fact stands that your 30xx series GPU is AT RISK with this game regardless of why it is caused. the main factor here is something bad MAY or MAY NOT happen but the risk is significantly higher than it has any right to be.

Old news, everyone already knows this and its been solved.

the game runs on a old and horrible game engine, you can see it just playing it, but crysis had the same issues (2009), same engine as new-world. it's also hugely inefficient due to it's age but also cry engine was bad from the get go. We've never had cards drawing 350+ watts. It's no surprise that some software bricks high wattage cards, been happening in the past as well.

If that is the case, I agree with you. But, seeing so many reports of bricked GPUs? If there's a manufacturer issue, one would think that the GPU's would've been recalled at this point.

So many reports of bricked 3000 series GPU's and maybe 0.00001% of RTX 2000 or any AMD card. Seriously the hate for this game put so many blindfolds on people eyes? RTX 3000 is simply trashy series of cards made with little to none QA tests during worldwide pandemy...
EVGA was the only manufacturer publicly admiting that some cards could have been faulty and only did that after New World revealed this fault.
None of company really do that because Nvidia still want to sell those GPU's. But personally I'm waiting for 4000 despite fact I planned to buy 3080 Ti just few months ago.

I partly agree with you.
I wouldn't call the 3000 series cards trash because of one game though. But if there is a manufacturer issue, it needs to be adressed.
Those GPU's are beasts in other applications.

I don't have an oppinion about the game. I haven't played it yet, but I'm interested.

how is lumberyard a "old engine", wtf you smoking dude. the first update for Lumberyard was in 2016 how is this "old" if it would run on a modified Quake 3 Engine like all CoD still does i would say that....and no Lumberyard just took the base of "cry Engine" and started almost from scratch

You know this ♥♥♥♥ was fixed in day 2 of the beta two months ago right? It was a specific 3090 card by a specific manufacturer that had issues, and that manufacturer has provided free replacements to everyone affected. What's the point of posting this now, exactly? Do you kids not know how to read up on things before you go popping off at the mouth about them. Rhetorical question, obviously, I already know the answer to that one. Given that the new issues remain isolated to a couple manufactuers, it appears that a hardware issue is at fault rather than a software issue, no? Seems to be something about the new Gigabyte and EVGA GPUs, my gigabyte 2070 super from last year has had no issues and I have seen none reported with this card.

Google searches for 3080s/3090s by EVGA and Gigabyte likewise reveal posts on other games' forums where owners of those cards claim that different games have bricked their machines. This is by far not isolated to New World.

..before you call me a mindless defender of New World, I have a litany of issues with the game right now. Things that have already been fixed are not among them. There are a lot of poorly coded and shoddily implemented things in this game, though.

This is wack

Can that also happen with my 2080 RTX? It's not as fast as the 3090, but not as slow either. Should I be careful there? Or its just the 30XX series? I dont have the money now to buy a new card :-(

TY i will

[Harath]

it's literally faulty video cards... evga even confirmed it was a manufacturing fault causing this? and in the case of your edit... entirely incorrect.

it was only EVGA FTW3 3090s because there was a manufacturing default confirmed by evga.

stop spreading misinformation

Then they should get a new free card. Would be fair.

[Grailer]

Geforce RTX 3080 is in my machine and it hasnt bricked yet . I've played over 40 hrs so far since release . No issues but I locked it at 60fps on 1440p

They did, evga is replacing the cards affected by this.

[Silvershadow]

Pretty sure this game will also brick my GTX 660.

Is it from EVGA or Gigabyte? If it is then there MAY be a chance of that happening.

That article is old. New World is still bricking 3090s from both EVGA and Gigabyte. 3080 also seems to be affected:

Did some googling a bit ago, and it seems like people are reporting similar issues with other games from both the EVGA and Gigabyte cards. Not sure if we can put this one at the feet of Amazon, but it is something people need to be aware of and keep and eye out for. A piece of software typically should not be capable of destroying hardware, as modern graphics cards have built-in failsafes to prevent overheating. However, a flaw in the design can be revealed that results in the card experiencing spectacular heat death and resulting in a very upset owner who probably paid way too much for their piece of hardware.

And man, do I feel for those people. I've got a bit of vicarious rage bubbling up thinking about being in their situation. Doubly so the people who may have paid a scalper nearly $3000 for a 3090 card only to be unable to RMA because they do not have proof of purchase from the scumlord they bought the thing from. Looks like EVGA and Gigabyte both require matching serial numbers on the receipt from the retailer and on the card itself before they'll cough up a replacement. And ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, does that blow for people caught in that situation.
