Sorry that really sucks.  I hope they can RMA you a new one quick!
 
I am on the list for the FTW 3090's (signed up late) but after reading all these emails I wonder if I should buy one.  Too many failures for my liking.  I realize many are fine and people often come to the forums to discuss issues but there are too many in my mind.  This issue needs to be publicly addressed by EVGA.   The impression I have as an EVGA "Fanboy" is that there are some real issues with these cards.  I don't feel I can buy with confidence.

My second 3090 ftw3 ultra just died while playing league and watching twitch not sure what is going on with these cards

I assume that game is not very demanding and the FPS is really high?
The higher the FPS the more buzzing the coils will do, I wonder if there is an issue with the Coils in the inductors and at High FPS the damn things are exploding.

I always set an FPS limit on my machine for gaming.

:O hope it all turned out well?

No insult to anyone who still can't put.....together and figure that there is something wrong with # of EVGA 30 series cards.  No game, it doesn't matter how demanding might be will kill your card, unless the card has issues already.
Sad thing is that EVGA won’t open their mouth, cards keep on dying and people keep on speculating
 

 
There is a thread where at least two or three users report their cards are working but the red led is lit over one power connection. EVGA responded and asks them to try a different firmware or driver. I would think that with cards popping and then a red led being on over the power connection, they might possibly be related. One might expect EVGA to request the cards be returned so they could troubleshoot on the bench before the card smokes, but then EVGA may already know and are just letting it run its course. I am leaning towards that scenario where they know and its just quicker and cheaper to let the bad cards cycle through.
 
My 3090 FTW Ultra arrives Thursday. I have already found a buyer. He is aware of the situation and willing to take that chance. Getting one of these cards at MSRP was difficult to start with. I don't want to be in RMA limbo waiting for a replacement, and then like in another thread, get the replacement, which also smokes and you are sending in for RMA again.
 
Excuse the PUN, but I'm gonna let the smoke settle and see where things sit in a month or so.

Sorry for your loss.

just a question did you have PX1 installed at the time, I’ve got a replacement on route and that’s the first thing I’m deleting
