My 1080 also died; this is my second Card via RMA. Didn't get to play New World till last week cause release was pushed back and it blew my card up again. EVGA says it's past the 30 day window and won't replace it.

The new 1.0 version 3090 I received from the RMA is considerably better than the 0.1 version I had before. Even browsing in Chrome is MUCH faster (there was something going on with the old card where every time I went to a new page, the HW acceleration would kick in to render it (as it is supposed to) and it was just slow on the old card ramping up. That thing had some serious power issues. Also, and more importantly, no more issues with New World.

that sounds promising. im RMAing my second rev 0.1, i got the second one in august and the first one in march. :( hoping this 3rd card will actually last this time.

After my 3rd RMA for an EVGA RTX 3090 FTW3 Ultra I asked for a refund and received one.

I have the 3080 XC3 Ultra Gaming with the clown lips. Does this mean mine is from the early affected batch ?! it's Rev A1 from GPU-Z.

If I had to do this because all the replacements were non functional I would take the cash and go buy a 6900 XT.. would be almost an even swap with only shipping and taxes being the delta.

Good luck finding a 6900 XT in stock for that price as they are in the same predicament as NVIDIA if not worse.

Amazon has a bunch of 6900 XT's in stock as low as $1700.

 
 
So from what I am reading here on the forms is that people's EVGA 3090s are dying playing New World, they send them back via RMA, get a replacement that also dies, then repeat the RMA process, and this goes on for months.  Some finally get refunds.
 
So essentially don't play New World if you have an EVGA 3090 that's not a v1.0+.
 
Interesting article from Toms Hardware, seems like this is hardware:

This could be one of those times that even a warranty does not matter.  Endless cycle of replacements and never get a card that will function.  I suspect very few people will actually get refunds and those that do will be out $1300+ if they want a 3090 from another manufacturer.
 
This is troubling.  Its also making me rethink everything in regards to my future build and system refresh plans.

At the price, and in respect to what is going on in the world at large, and what should be prioritized in our lives, honestly, it was a skip from the start. Why people ever bought them, I don't know. Why they are still buying them is beyond me. I think it might be FOMO or a status symbol or something.

I wanted Nvidia and it was all that was available at the time.

Lesson learned. Unless this is solved in a way where people are not getting bad cards again and again via rma it’s the last Nvidia card I will buy. Even if mine never blows up…

It is fine to play New World with the v1.0 cards.  At least mine is working significantly better than my v0.1 did. Do we have anyone in this thread that had a v1.0 die on them playing New World?

Well then I suppose that’s good. Getting one through rma however seems to be hit or miss. So unless there’s a guaranteed swap..

its not new world's fault 

I would agree that it's not New World's "fault" and that Amazon is not responsible for graphics card damage. However, this is happening because of something the game is doing that essentially exploits a design defect that would otherwise go unnoticed. 

My card ftw3 ultra 3090 just died in the middle of playing new world. It was running perfectly until I lower my setting from very high to high. Also added fps menu cap. I fast traveled and then black screen. The card has a single red light by it's power cables. It's a very sad day for me.

I would say it is actually a great day for you because now you can get rid of that dud and get a version 1.0 card which is MUCH better. The card should be under warranty still.
