It seems it only affect the 3090 but what about the 3090 Kingping ?

first it was "YoUr PsU iS nOt GoOd eNufF" now its "YoU cAnT pUsH a 3090 tO iTs LiMiTs, lIkE tHaT". If a Top of the line GPU cant play a game with default settings, or High settings, there is something wrong with that GPU.... The only thing to blame now is EVGA, they for  sure cheap out on a certain part within their 3090 FTW3.... LMK when ASUS or even ZOTAC has a Reddit thread with over 1k comments about their 3090 dying from playing a Game with a GTX 970 recommended requirement....

This youtuber just confirmed it. Were doomed. He ran with 3090 and a few secs later his 3090 died. He was changing his graphics settings and turned vsync off and bam dead. Also A evgas card with hybrid cooler

You can run a 3090 at 500W indefinitely, IF its properly supplied with clean power and kept cool, say about 55C core and 90C vram. It will run for years.  However, most of the people complaining have put them in glass boxes and on a questionable PSU.  They are EQUIPMENT, not APPLIANCES.  Any equipment has general guidance for setup, optimal operation parameters, requires monitoring of performance, stress testing to validate integrity and periodic maintenance.

What is it exactly that people should be doing to "take care of their EQUIPMENT" in this case?
 
You're gonna blame the PSU? Nope. Wrong, try again.
 
You're gonna blame a bad overclock? Nope. Wrong, try again.
 
You're gonna blame a case with bad airflow? Nope, wrong, try again.
 
You have a 3090, right? so put your money where your mouth is. Play the game at settings appropriate for the most powerful gaming GPU out there. Let's see what kind of FPS you can get.

Man, people who buy these 3090's just expect them to game everything no sweat and then cook them breakfast.  Like an appliance.
 
Been thinking about stepping up to 3090 SLI, just to make people mad.

They haven’t seen anything, but they are going to cap it anyways? Umm ok. They should leave it as is, so people can test, but I guess people can still test as clearly the guys card above in the video died in game.

Software is meant to push the limits of hardware.
 
While there are plenty of bad software developers, who'll brute-force solutions rather then developed elegant/efficient solutions, hardware should always govern how it's used and operate within safe parameters. 
 
It's not the software developer's responsibility to implement safeguards that protect thousands+ of combinations of hardware possible; although, I'm curious if poor coding could have played a role by explioting an unknown weakness in the hardware. If this is the case, it would have happened sooner or later and people are lucky that this was discovered while their warranty is still valid.

Software doesn't kill a card. The card kills the card. Software may open up some defect on the card but it is ultimately the card.

This isn't the first game to cause this issue with the EVGA 3090 FTW3. The Halo Master Chief Collection killed mine and I had to RMA it for the same reason. Was in the Halo 2 menu and when I exited out of it black screen and only audio. Then I noticed the 2 red LEDs lit up by the PCIE power connectors on the video card. So there is clearly an issue with this card. These games aren't affecting other manufacture 3090s.

Here's the first anecdotal account of out of the normal operating parameters I've seen, vram junction temps of 115C:
 
https://www.reddit.com/r/LivestreamFail/comments/oos0vm/the_new_world_beta_is_currently_breaking_evga/h60ot2j/?context=3
 

the 3090s have vram on the bottom that runs at 100C during normal gaming, and someone did report seeing 115C during new worlds on his ftw3, a majority of the bricks seem to be evga but there are reports of abnormal temps and power surges even on other hardware. Though the bricks seem to be caused by something else (signs points toward extremely high fps in the menus, causing a power surge in an already flawed card model), 115C vram temp doesn't help. My old gpu had massive coilwhine over 200fps, with the increased horsepower of the 3090, going over 9000 fps in the menus might be a condition that can pop a cheap capacitor consistently.

 Of course, I would like to see any other accounts of how the card was operating at the time of failure.

I guess it depends on the gpu then cause I played Halo with my 3090 FTW3 Ultra without any issues..
