So I held off on playing New World until 10/18 I officially made it 36 minutes into the game I had one crash 10 minutes in and a second 36 minute in. Hopefully my replacement card will be here this coming Tuesday.

I still want to give new world more time but I am very cautious considering it has killed one 3090 already I don’t want to have to wait an RMA another one.

I suppose my question is will EVGA continue to warrantee those cards that are being affected by New World even though it is a known issue?

Has this issue not been fixed by Amazon?

Why would you blame Amazon for hardware defects?  EVGA made a statement that the cards which failed, failed due to hardware defects.
 
If EVGA could blame Amazon, they would have.  Therefore, why are you blaming Amazon?
 
3090 FTW3s have been failing for nearly a near; with the almost exact same symptoms.  I have been saying for nearly 10 months that the cards have a problem.  The New World problem isn't very new.  For a year, cards have been failing with the exact same symptoms in Halo MCC, WoW, in web browsers, or just while sitting idle.
 
The problem is that the cards are able to draw power spikes which exceed the VRM's capabilities.  The problem is that NVIDIA's half a dozen current sensors are too slow to detect those power spikes.  The problem is that low-demand games/loads have the card running at low power, and then all of the sudden a load hits it while the card is in performance mode, and the current spike makes it through before NVIDIA's driver/software/firmware drops the boost.  This is what causes the card to black screen and causes the fan to go to 100%.  The card black screens and the fans go to 100% because the VRM turn off due to overcurrent protection.  The VRM should never reach overcurrent protection if the NVIDIA driver/software/firmware was fast enough, but the driver/software/firmware isn't fast enough.  Cards with high factory power limit (3090 FTW3s for example) are more likely to black screen/100 % fan than cards with lower factory power limit.  Similarly, a 3090 FTW3 with the BIOS switch in XOC position is more likely to black screen/100% fan than a 3090 FTW3 with the BIOS switch in the Normal position.  When the card has an additional hardware defect (such as a soldering problem, VRM with manufacturing defects, or a card with bad power balancing causing some inputs to be under higher load and higher temperature for prolonged durations), the black screen/100% thing could manifest itself as a dead card after power is cycled.  This is because the overcurrent protection in the VRM wasn't fast enough to prevent the VRM from being damaged by one of the other existing defects/problems.
