Did the card turn back on or its dead?

I wonder how many people just tripped the protection their undersized PSU?

EVGA has to figure this out, bad publicity going viral! Source multiple online forums including Videocardz. FYI. I will continue to check back for any resolve.

So I am on my 3rd 3090 Evga Ultra, I have played the Alpha New world for months. My card runs very hot playing that game and not to long ago I had the famouse black screen of death on the new card but computer restarted and I am Fine. I am going no where near this Beta lol but There is something defiantly wrong with these Cards. I have a 3090 Kingpin sitting in the Garage contemplating on if I should sell it make a couple bucks or redo my computer to fit it. Now I am thinking of Selling my 3090 Ultra one and trying to Find someone to do a Straight up Trade new for new on the Kingpin for a Asus Strix. I really want to walk away from this card and Evga.

Actually watched Jayz's video on this, plenty of good points and theories about what could be going on.

More car analogies.  This like doing a motor swap in a car, putting a high performance engine in.  The GPU is the engine.

This is scary

When initiating an RMA you can now select New World as a reason. Seems like EVGA support has recognized this issue.

 
I won't be surprised if EVGA add that so they can go back on Amazon in some fashion for all the cards that were damaged playing their game and try and get some money back. 

is the issue limited to 3090 or are 3080/3080ti FTW3 owners experiencing bricking too?

it seem 3090 only

I think I saw on reddit that a few people with 3080 had the same issue. I have a 3080FTW3, and mine just restarted the 1st time I ran the game but it booted and worked fine after.

Played 2 more hours with my RTX 3090 FTW3 UG this evening with the FPS capped to 60 fps and the temp was correct (60 ~ 65 fps) and my GPU load was around 40 % (1440p, highest settings). No particular sign or issue.

I've got a 3080 Ti here that needs further high stress testing.  Let me know.

me too. 3080 ti ftw3 ultra here. i played a couple hours yesterday, temps reached 82C which is higher than ive seen in any other game. gpu still working though. i run gsync + vsync capped at 141fps so maybe that helps.
 
but i'm hesistant to play more today now after seeing all this news

Reports of dead 30 series cards had almost stopped for a few months. Now there's an explosion of them. Clearly something weird is going on. It seems really strange to think a video game (New World) is to blame. Either the new Nvidia driver is doing something wonky or NW is exposing a flaw in these cards that, somehow, hasn't been revealed by anything else.
 
BTW, that Jay guy said that there are reports of this happening in 30 series cards from manufacturers other than EVGA, whereas a lot of people here are making it out like it's an EVGA-only problem.

Jay had a good point that EVGA has a lot of 3090s in the wild, and I believe that, at least for the US. And that can give the impression that it’s predominately an EVGA problem when it’s not.

However, EVGA as the manufacturer here still has the responsibility to address issues affecting their product, regardless of if it’s happening to other AIB cards or not. If it’s a dead GPU, they RMA, and I don’t doubt they will honor that like they always do. But they should also look into the problem and try to come up with mitigation techniques (BIOS updates, PSAs to customers about suggested settings, etc). At the same time, the game developers should be looking at their code (from what I hear this is a game in Beta, not even released) to figure out what’s causing this behavior and limit it on their end too.

This isn’t a problem that needs to be solely shouldered by one party. It can be worked from multiple angles in a collaborative effort.

But given the reality of the world, everyone will play the Spider-Man meme blame game.

Shocking, really.

I was a bit afraid of a brick so I watched after the temperatures and the CPU usage the whole time. I also noticed 250 to 300 watts power drain no more.
