I got my card in October and the black screen 100% fan speed crash happened to me yesterday, luckily my computer booted again but i havent been on NW since. Im worried that my card is permanently damaged now or i should have RMA'd it before this point. What are they doing about this?

Mordgier And yes - people absolutely run 3090s in mining rigs at 110C vram - and have been for over 6 months now without issues.
 

No they don't.

I'm reading the reddit thread right now.  Bunch of weeb mmo players.  Not a single person citing what their temps and power limits were at the time of failure, because they weren't monitoring them.

And they shouldn't have to.....

Muh 3090 taoster oven.
 
It's not an appliance.

It...it is....it's a consumer product. It's plug and play. This isn't a nuclear reactor where temp monitoring, pad swaps, aftermarket cooling etc should be required.
 
It should work. Out of the box. For the entire warranty period. With no tweaks from the user.

Why are you defending an obvious manufacturing defect?

Are you serious?  
 
I bet you've never owned any other high performance, cutting edge product.  Drop by the Porsche dealership some time and talk to the service department.  

Yeah dude - I'm 100% serious. This is also 100% a manufacturing defect and a failure on EVGAs part. This is a video card - not a track car. Which...by the way - also work fine off the lot with no user tweaks.
 
When 3090s come with dealer services and a maintenance schedule - then your idiotic argument will hold some water.

If this was an Apple product they will say you are using the GPU wrong.

This happened to me. I have a FTW 3090. Take this very serious. I have a hybrid cooler on mine which has been working beautifully. I had my fan profiles on max for this game. I thought the strange feeling of the game was just down to it being a beta. I didn't think to check if the card was at 100% load, nor should it be something I should have to worry about. Even the menu's felt weird but, again, I wasn't worrying about my card, it's done 19gb vram blender renders in the past. It was the whole purpose I bought the hybrid cooler, the stock cooler could not keep up. 
 
I quit the game after 44 minutes runtime because I was due to play 7 days to die with a friend and it black screened. My 3rd PCIe 8 pin at the end of the card refuses to accept power now, and if it is powered the system refuses to start. So something is definitely faulty hardware wise in there. I am glad I have a 3 year warranty, this will be my 3rd card.
 
I will never touch New World again, even after it's fixed, and from now on I will be paranoid that EVGA has failed with this card and check for GPU load on all new games I play. If I could downgrade to a 3080 Ti I would. Maybe save a bit of heat.

It's incredible that there are clowns in this thread (ironically posting pictures of clowns themselves) trying to defend or belittle this issue and blame it on the end-user. Hopefully the moderation team kicks in soon, because there is serious discussion that needs to be had and people shouldn't have to wade through that nonsense.

Tbh, it's funny how much they defend EVGA but in reality, if you are running your card stock and it failed due to a game running uncapped. It's a hardware problem that was waiting to be exposed not software or the user's fault.

This is so insane opposite what this product should allowed you to do.
People get trauma trying to play their most looked forward game, it is almost like you shoot your own leg buying this product.

EVGA needs to step up, and fix peoples confident to play games again.
This broken mess has been going on for too long, people have 3 RMAs now and are stressed out.
Come on EVGA fix this!

 
Its known the EVGA FTW3 has had issues since launch -- check, known
 
It's known the EVGA FTW3 is the card that is unanimously dying -- check known  
 
its also know which part of the game is causing cards fps to shoot through the roof thus frying the cards 
also known that this game in and of itself RUNS HOT --- ABNORMALY HOT. so stop pushing the blame ALL on evga.
to everyone else clamoring, and stomping your feet. Learn how to be an adult

Obviously nobody should be gaming on these cards.  Gaming causes permanent damage.  Nobody should ever even remotely consider purchasing a used card that was gamed on as you have no idea the hell the card may have been put through by its previous owner.  Let these filthy gamers rot with their abused cards.  It's time everyone stick to using these cards for what they were made for..... mining! :)

Gas gauge, mirrors, and seatbelts don't cause your car to suddenly explode if they stop working.

A bad power regulator on a graphics card sending WAY too much voltage on a stock configuration is not just a major problem, its also indicative that the engineers KNEW the parts weren't up to spec, and said oh well.

You don't compare a mechanical car to an electronic device. It's the most stupid logic I've ever seen. A strawman argument if there ever was one.



You're dead wrong. You know it. We know it. 

 
I know plenty about high power electronics.  It's a great analogy.  
 
None of the "my card blew" stories come with a "I was running at X watts at Y FPS on Z core clock".  

There has been a lot of off topic and violations of the forum rules in this thread. If the violations continue we will lock the thread.
 

Just ban or mute the people breaking the rules, the rest are trying to find out what could be causing this to happen, whether it is an EVGA issue or not.

Well I was going to play this game to check it out.
WWWWWWEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL I guess not now.

Man, it's laughable how some folks are trying so hard to lick EVGA's boots.
Like if the product is flawed from factory it's consumer's fault. "Hey! You got that card brand new never before used at full price knowing that it had flaws! So blame on you!" Hahaha... Oh man... That one is hard to swallow.
If EVGA's 3090 are that flawed and it's so well known by everybody then they should start selling it at 50% off, since it's nowhere near the quality of other brands' 3090 (since others don't get killed by simple games).

For anyone experiencing issues as I have stated previously contact EVGA support. EVGA is investigating. 

Did the card turn back on or its dead?
