We will see, I am skeptical with them right now, future will tell.

did they pay shipping for people with 3090s that died from nw? Most times rma require you to pay shipping with insurance on the package can be a decent amount unless you live on the brave side of no insurance on your card

I believe it is a ****ty customer experience if the card die because of EVGA and you pay anything (shipping and or insurance). Should be cost free. Period. If it's not the case it's a problem.

At the very least it is replaced... But if EVGA do it wrong (bad soldering) why should I be unlucky and pay anything if I bought one.

Mine died in RE:Village. I posted on the forum about it because it was so weird. I was able to crash the game by going to the exact same place in the map. It crashed a bunch of times the eventually POP! Weird thing is that with my RMA card, going to the same place make the fan go crazy. Super easy to repro on my end.

No way in hell I'm going to nerf my flagship GPU to avoid a failure.

Okay, heard the first RE:Village story to pop the GPU. Mind sharing the level and the part where it happened?
We can grab a play through video from YouTube and pin point the section with time codes.
A play through like this

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dm4ok9Wdlp0 this is my video. Going up the stairs would 100% crash my first 3090 until it exploded. Obviously all settings maxed out.

I have seen it, and know it for couple years now.
When tech-tubers get close with brands they don't hit them hard when something goes bad.
They just look away and tell the public they are very busy with other content.

This whole gigabyte thing they are doing is bit blown out of proportion.
And which brand is the counter brand to come as the hero showing good OPP.
You got it.

You have to look sharper, who is getting big sponsors and who is not getting them.
Who is pulling-out the same brand video's out every month.
Who did a Q&A with them, who is good friends with them on social media.

The red-line is clear as day.

For sure there have been some people passing by saying that X game killed their GPU will playing or starting the game.
Did anyone make a list which games we have that are know to kill the cards?
I can name couple off top of my head, that i saw fly by on this forum.

Halo: The Master Chief Collection
GTAV
New World* (should be fixed)

To add more:
Make sure to cap your FPS in the Nvidia panel to your MAX monitor refresh rate.
Just don't risk to get 200FPS when your monitor is 144Hz.

 
I have a 3080TI , so not sure if I can run into the same issue, but to be safe I capped it like this in nvdia control panel to 141 FPS since I have a 144 hz monitor, then other day was playing star wars squadron VR, and noticed it hit 3000 FPS in a lot of cut scenes and menus, scared me and exited game pretty quickly, card seems fine, but then when I went to check NVidia panel something reset it back to default, and I am not sure how?  
 
Is this a bug?  I changed it back to 141 but I notice it still keeps resetting itself?  I am a bit worried long term will cause damage and have to RMA, but I am not sure if this will affect 3080TI, or just 3090

If you have PX1 you need to set the limit in PX1 since it will override the nvidia settings.

It's sad because they call themselves "fair", "impartial", "independent" and it's all a bunch of BS, it's all about the money. But to be fair some are worst then others, one clearly come out to defend them, and the other loves to trash brands but apparently is unaware EVGA exists (gamers nexus) unless is to use their PSU as a good example.

• Original card: First revision received last year, 2014 sn
  • I could get the issue to occur within 30 minutes every single time
  • Frames capped

• New card from RMA: Revision 1.0, 2114 serial number. I also installed a hybrid kit on this card
  • I have played 2 hours straight
  • Uncapped frames
  • I changed the graphics quality back and forth while in town and it worked without crashing. With old card, I could usually trigger the problem by doing that.
  • Absolutely no issues so far
