THIS GAME JUST BRICKED MY EVGA 3090 FTW 3!!! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!
I'm SICK! Good thing I have a 2080 Ti to fall back on, but MAN. Don't even do it, leave it alone.

My 3090 was not in OC mode, no OC applied. Was running game at 2560x1440p locked at 60fps. No sweat for the card. Screen went black and fans revved at max with a red LED over one of the PCI power connectors. Changed the cable and the port on the PSU, same deal.

DO NOT DO IT, THIS GAME IS NOT WORTH THE RISK. I AM NEVER INSTALLING AN AMAZON DEVELOPED GAME AGAIN. There is no level of curiosity that can make me go through this again, no thanks.

I can see why you would think that, so I'm going to post RMA forms from EVGA. I'm really trying to warn ppl. I got cooked.

It's not the game. You look online and the 3090 FTW3 has a lot of burnouts.

you just want to blame the game for the spite. Nothing more

Quite simple

So this game is cooking defective cards that have been otherwise fine? Like, this game has the antidote for all the defective cards? Hell of a coincidence. Been gaming on this thing since nearly release with no issues and THIS game does it? How much room do we have for coincidence?

I don't WANT to blame this game, what has this game done to me? I'm just telling people what happened. Wish I never downloaded it.

Seriously, what do I gain for spiting this game? I'm warning the free weekend players.

You're slow. That's OK... You'll learn... or not.

Was not the game, child.

The Cards were defective
This happened In New World Closed Beta as well

You Should be given a replacement if you send in a note to EVGA

"GPU manufacturer EVGA confirmed that some of the bricked GPUs they received from New World players were actually at least partially caused by manufacturing issues related to the smoldering process. They pledged to replace the broken GPUs that were returned to them and assured New World players that the issue seemed to impact less than one percent of units related to the GPU models in question.

Which Models Are Affected by The New World GPU Bricking Issue?

At the moment, the EVGA RTX 3090 FTW Ultra and Gigabyte RTX 3080 Ti seem to be the two GPU models most commonly affected by this issue. That being said, RTX 3090, RTX 3080Ti, RTX 3080, RTX 3060 Ti, and RTX 3000 laptop users have all reported having their GPUs bricked while playing New World. That’s not necessarily a comprehensive list of GPUs that have been affected so far, but as you can see, it does sound like higher-end RTX cards are at greater risk of failure at this time."

Sounds good ma'am, please feel free to ignore. I've had a GTX 650, GTX 680, 3x GTX 780, 2x GTX 1080, RTX 2080, 2x RTX 2080 Ti and an RTX 3090 and I know when there's an issue with a card. You can go sip tea with the rest of the mean girls and let me warn other people.

Thanks

It's just so strange the New World has the kryptonite. A "defect" that is OK with all other games, just not New World. If it was my small company against Amazon, I'd take the hit too. Either way, this game is not worth finding out if you're in the 1%. Not this game.

Hardware is supposed to be able to work at 100% load. This seems a hardware issue.
Also I was reading that sometime drivers can overclock by mistake without user permission too.
New World is a good testing software. Use it when you get a new graphic card, to see if is good enough or not. Better to find the problems while you can still return or replace it.

Game didn't burn out your card, UNLESS you were running at uncapped frames, in which case the defect in the model could of easily been exploited.

I could have not found this problem and played for 10 more years lol. I don't see it as a problem when one game (that I don't even want) is the trigger.
