This game bricked my GPU

[Kim Jong-Skill]

Just wanted to post for general awareness. A friend of mine got shot through a wooden door while I was spectating and it overheated my 3060, caused artifacting and screenflickering that persisted through reboots and driver reinstalls. Again, just wanted to post for awareness and to see if the devs had any information for what could have caused this.

I don't know about that. I've never used any software to controll any of my 2 GPU's. Well one, cause the other doesn't have any fans. The card controlls the fans by itself fairly well. Most of the time they don't spin at all but once stuff gets more spicy they sure do.

But you still have borken card and claim the game did it, when everyone who runs fan control with a similar rig and the same card don't have borken cards? sounds like your issue.

I'm not OP. I'm just a guy telling stupid people to try and disable XMP.

The game is running at 80 decree with 3090 i agree, needs something to be done

GPUs will throttle down well before they heat up enough to brick themselves. If your 3060 bricked while playing the game, there was obviously something wrong with the GPU itself, or something controlling it (OC profile, VBIOS, etc.)

Either way, I'm sorry for the loss of your GPU.

80C is not uncommon on some RTX3090s (Zotac) and is perfectly fine. If it worries you, just create a custom fan curve or lower the power limit of your card.

I'm sorry but people who really think that their GPUs are being bricked by this game really need to educate themselves on how computers work.

This is 101% an issue with either a defective Motherboard, an unstable RAM Overclock or a RAM that aren't compatible for the motherboard.

RAM is compatible, checked that with my motherboards qvl. it was not overclocked. Unlikely it was a motherboard issue and Nvidia seems to feel the same way. Likely was a faulty card on their end it seems. so that 101% should also probably include faulty graphics hardware.

Can you RMA gpu? RTX3060 is not that old to run out of the warranty. It was just faulty since being made in factory and putting it under load just killed it quicker.

sounds like new world issue whats your gpu?
since this would be caused by all the evgas that would overheat and kill themselves due to faulty hardware.

this game didnt brick your gpu a certain maker of that rtx card killed your card by not having test it out, also you could have not used the proper plug which can also cause bricking.

dont own the game myself but even my pc hasnt ran into an issue thats not to say that it is flawless there is gpu ultilization issues, but other then that search google and see if others had the same issue if theres a big enough reddit thread then devs and nvidia are aware of it.

which i never heard a single person say this game caused a new world to their pc.

mostly evga has a major fault in their 30 series cards idk if they fixed it since i avoid them now due to that reason.

Games should never brick a GPU, unless it has an underlying issue.

A GPU is designed to run at 100% load as long as there's adequate cooling, no failing components, and a decent/clean power delivery.

no the new world problem is not isolated to evga gpu´s
even tho some evga gpu´s had a manufacturing problem.
in fact new evidence was found that new world tends to somehow let certain gpu´s draw more wattage as the pcb of the gpu itself can withstand.

so no games seem to be able to let gpu´s draw more wattage as they can handle.
so the conclusion that games never can brick gpu´s is wrong since the new world problem exists.

This is more of a design flaw with the VRMs on GPUs, or Nvidias recommended design setup that OEMs follow.

well, people who don't have a doctorte in technology aren't exactly stupid, but supposing i'm too lazy to search google for how and why XMP would cause GPU overheating, how exactly would that help? That's RAM related, and the vast majority of RAM cards have big heat sinks these days, i don't get your point.

the point is, in case you don't understand the issue here is that the crashing is caused by XMP. The GPU has no part in this issue at all as all that a GPU does is provide video to a computer and cannot crash it in a sense. If a GPU would fail, the PC would crash VERY differently. How different? Well, you would see all sorts of artifacting going around the screen. The PC would freeze and there would be a bunch of pink, green artifacts and so on and so forth. I've had a faulty 2080S FTW3 HC that was dying / had a defect since factory and I know damn well what it looks like.

You don't need a GPU for a computer to be functional, but you need RAM. If the RAM is faulty, or the motherboard cannot do the XMP stable then the PC will crash/freeze/BSOD.

I will bet money that OPs issue are his RAM having an unstable overclock (XMP) or his Motherboard is going out.

And I'm speaking from experience. GPU has NOTHING to do with this. I had similar PC crashing by playing the game which was caused by no other game and it turns out that my Motherboard couldn't properly XMP so the RAM weren't stable which caused the crashing.

And as someone else had mentioned before, those are acceptable temps at full utilization for a GPU this powerful, but at probably 90+ it would throttle itself.

RTX3060 12 GB user here, everything works fine, capped my fps to 72. GPU heat is around 50 also the cpu...

[Casia Loopy]

Probably just the default uncapped framerate overheated and damaged stuff.

no way that happend to a 3060 while running a unreal eng 4 game lmao .

come back wit another story and i give u a hug

I had to spend $560 on a new card, dude.

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. The card would be under warranty.

Can't tell what your deal is but why you trollin'?

because I need the card for work, I cant rely on a manufacturer warranty to get me a card as soon as I would need it. As evidenced now because I'm still talking to nvidia at time of writing after 2 work days. Secondly, warranty doesn't change that my card bricked.

That could be it.
