Is the 3090 issue real?

[Gsta187]

im afraid to play it?

[★REM★]

Yep, it is. all the 3000 series is affected, but apparently the 3090 more than the others.

not just 3090s my 2080super got bricked

Yes this shows NVidia's power safe limits operated above danger zone. It was done to get their performance above AMD's GPUs they had no choice given they used Samsung 8nm and 10nm++ which is less power efficient fab vs TSMC 7nm fab. But AMD's conservative protecting the GPUs chips not allowing in firmware running at speeds and power consumption to brick, i.e. burn the GPUs chips. Simply nVidia's setting the limits on power too high hoping no game will max the GPU until this game! Maybe other games which are GPUs bounded will too, vs CPUs bounded waiting for the CPU while the GPU "rest" cooling off... I think it is only a matter of time before people start realising that there is a huge flaw in the design of NVIDIA cards and will switch over to AMD when we start seeing this similar problem in future PC titles. The EVGA have clearly stated this is a defect within NVIDIA cards and has nothing to do with New World.

Just look up the news - if you have one of the 3090 with issues its probably better to get a new card without issues before the end of warranty. (and dont trust weird youtube videos and forum posts ... - look what the hardware companies write about it and tech sites etc. - and no a game cant simply destroy hardware - and no running your GPU at 100% shouldnt be an issue (whatever is the bottleneck in your computer will always run at almost 100%))

EVGA even stated themselves that it was faulty hardware:
https://www.pcgamer.com/evga-explains-why-some-of-its-rtx-3090s-were-blowing-up-in-new-world/

There are people spamming this forum now with threads about this - many with misinformation and often by people not even owning the game or even knowing much about hardware. Just read tech site news and decide for yourself.

But just keep in mind - this game has 1 Million players - there are a few cards that broke (the outcry would be way bigger if this was a frequent issue) - and there are tons of GPUs (so its just a small fraction of the GPUs). If you sell millions of GPUs chances are some will be faulty thats perfectly normal even for the best companies - whats important is how they handle the warranty.

i dont agree on that, ive never had gpu issues until this game as its poorly optimized, both parties are guilty its gpu software and new world software related an a patch needs to be released to fix it from both parties

That being said i have a 2080 super Rog and its been fine until now

So what? So this is the first game that pushed one of your components - the one that had issues before ...

Also how do you know the game is poorly optimized? ...

What are your GPU issues? Is anything in your PC overclocked? Did you remove dust at some point?

No it isn't. The issue on the EVGA cards was poor soldering on a mosfet joint, it had nothing to do with the Nvidia GPU chip. Stop spreading nonsense. AFIK no Nvidia manufactured card has failed yet only third party cards. Third party manufacturers did increase the power draw on some of their cards but that was their decision not Nvidia's.

you dont agree with GPU manufacturer?
wow..
im sure u know it better than he
thats seriously surprising how many "professionals" appear on steam and disagree with EVGA about their statement.. i mean..EVGA admit fail, but you say they lie?
im almost afraid to ask.. but.. why do u think they lie? i mean they admit their fail, refund their customers or change their cartds for new ones, when they ask.. why they do that?

It's real only if you bought a card from a trash manufacturer like EVGA.

Just watch your memory junction (not core) temps and you will be fine.

3090 user here with 25h and no, its bs. If your card dies while you play this game then you had a faulty card which would die anyways sooner or later in any other game.
The EVGAs died due to dodgy solderings:
https://www.pcgamer.com/evga-explains-why-some-of-its-rtx-3090s-were-blowing-up-in-new-world/

Less than 1% were affected, even though influencers like JayzTwoCents made a big deal about it.
Most of the users here have absolutely no idea, and if your Card dies, it can happen in any game, not just New World. In that case, you shouldn't play anything at all.

Ive got a MSI gaming trio(3090) is there anyone with reported issues with that card?

[twisterforever]

I have an Omen with 3090 and no problem

EVGA is a good manufacturer - there will always be faulty products when you sell a lot of products - whats important is how they handle it - and from what ive read the did handle it very well.

I have a card from a different brand but after seeing how they handeled this situation im porbably more likely to buy one of their cards in the future than before.

Yes but I'm sure you have warranty, yes? So just rma is it really brick it.

[tracksone]

This pc im currently on is a rx 5700xt

At 1440P my gpu hit 130c almost instantly.

I turned it down (even though i shouldnt have to do that) and it ran good for about 20 minutes and eventually it started HARD crashing my computer. Id have to unplug it from the wall just to get it to reboot. Not good

In order to not almost brick my entire pc i had to MASSIVELY underclock and undervolt, which is absolutley ridiculous and not normal for a game to force me to do. And no, no other game has ever done this.
