This Game just killed my 3090

[The Jizzler]

I was streaming Last of us and just randomly everything went black fans kicked on to 100% and had to force shutdown my PC. Turned my PC back on and my graphics would not turn on only had a like red light. I put my card into friends PC and same results. Its good game but you can't deny this runs like trash in some areas.

Man, it'll cause crashes, but not kill a piece of hardware that wasn't already faulty.
The New World problem was due to a manufacturing fault on the cards, EVGA confirmed it.

My wife is running a EVGA RTX 3090 Hybrid, while it crashes A LOT, her card hasn't died.

That sucks, if you have dual bios card you can switch to the other bios to see if it works as a last resort

I'm sorry that this happened, but while the game might have been the trigger, it is most likely not the cause.

Yes it does stress systems more than the usual game which might have bricked the card for possibly several reasons, like..

- it was already on its last leg from prior use or a manufacturing error finally kicket it
- problems with cooling the card, either card itself or your system and this game revealed it

So it broke and it did while you played this game. Could've played the Dead Space Remaster without DLSS for the same result (I do because DLSS is bugged and this game heats my CPU and graphic card to a steady 80+°C, more than any other game I play).

Coincidence!

But still it sucks, I know. While prices have been more stable and even going down slightly recently, it's still not a great time having to replace expensive hardware. :(

Did you buy from a scalper/miner? Could be the card was already in bad shape

Got my Card from Micro Center

When did you get your card. The reason why I ask is because some early launch cards had physical defects which games with poor optimization like this one and the New World Beta exposed.

Jeez well...that sucks
Red light means probably power issue, check if the connectors on the card side are still intact or no pins are burned

A piece of software can't "kill" hardware. It could be just a catalyst to expose hardware problems.

post other specs, was there massive CPU bottlenecking going on?

That is not entirely true the game New World had and issue in the software that killed high end GPUs due to frames for some reason being pushed to the 4000-5000+ because of a glitch and really ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up GPUs.

That was because EVGA cards had an actual manufacturing defect. It was an underlying physical hardware problem. Only very specific cards using very specific low quality substitute parts were impacted by this particular issue, thanks in part to a logistics and supply issue on parts.
It's not like the problem specifically targeted certain models and actually made them burn out. It's because the parts that were problematic and reacted to New World were faulty to begin with. (It also showed a problem in New World's code that needed to be fixed as well.)

Its an EVGA 3090 REV 0.1 Which after doing research just now is the version with the defect. But this game did not help push it. Just setup for failure with faulty hardware and game that needs a few updates.

Very interesting I was unaware of this update I actually never saw it reported thanks for clearing that up.

Never had any thing like that happen to me. And I'm playing this game with an AMD Radeon RX 6600 XT (8GB) and an AMD Ryzen 3600 with 32GB of ram. Best to play this game, for me with medium settings. High settings with a resolution of 1280x720 looks blurry. Something about it looks like I'm playing on low settings. So medium with 1920 resolution looks fine. But no crashes. No freezing. No nothing.

I made this Discussion board to make people aware, if they do have the same card as me. Don't want people to suffer the same way.

Yea, EVGA handled the RMA/warranty side of that well once the issue was properly identified.
