MichapolysAll games are safe if your PSU can handle the card.Finding a PSU that can power these cards reliably is another subject.
donta1979The only ones who I have seen losing cards their older psu's have gone pop and taking the cards with them most of the time.
donta1979It has been fine for me, the only game that has been killing 30 series cards is New World probably fixed by now. As the game put the cards in a state that is worse than benching/mining/rendering 3d/folding, removed all the safeties both in the hardware firmware and software.Now if you have an old PSU, meaning one that was manufactured/built before the 30 series came out there is a good chance during the 30 series large boost clock power spikes it could cause the psu to fail and take your card out with it.I have not had any issues with MCC or CP 2077. The only ones who I have seen losing cards their older psu's have gone pop and taking the cards with them most of the time.
ty_ger07MichapolysAll games are safe if your PSU can handle the card.Finding a PSU that can power these cards reliably is another subject.I disagree entirely. For every example of a card killed with a PSU you don't approve of for whatever reason, is another example of a card killed with the best PSUs available.I would say it depends on the card. If it was a 3090 FTW3 Rev 0.1, I would not trust it in Halo MCC, even with the best PSU money can buy.Halo MCC had been killing 3090 FTW3s for the better part of a year before New World came out.
ty_ger07I disagree entirely.
Michapolysty_ger07I disagree entirely.I do not care.
SajinOn founders editions and kingpin editions it’s safe.
Hefbn87SajinOn founders editions and kingpin editions it’s safe.Does this apply to 3090s only, or normal 3080s aren't safe either?
nomossHefbn87SajinOn founders editions and kingpin editions it’s safe.Does this apply to 3090s only, or normal 3080s aren't safe either?3080s were always fine. Don't be afraid to play any games. You have a 3 year warranty. Use it if you need to.

Hefbn87Might seem like a silly question to ask but not long ago many people reported their 30 series cards were dying while playing Halo MCC specifically. It seemed to be happening too often to just be a coincidence. Can anyone who's played Halo MCC on an EVGA 30 series card comment?

IntoxicusThere is a fan ramping issue that has been correlated with other games causing these kinds of problems. You'll see the rpm double into the millions of rpm while you can hear the fans actually trying to achieve the numbers stated.
IntoxicusPlease do not listen to this person. He does this contrarianism thing where he shoots down anything he doesn't personally believe in.
MichapolysIntoxicusPlease do not listen to this person. He does this contrarianism thing where he shoots down anything he doesn't personally believe in. Yeah, although he seems to know some stuff the conclusions he jumps to defy the laws of physics.It is a solid proof that knowledge and intelligence are different things.Lots of educated fools out there.
ty_ger07What I said is based on evidence of many respected in the industry. I didn't come up with it.What you stated in one thread, on the other hand, lacked evidence and logic. Do you care to share it with us again?
Michapolysty_ger07What I said is based on evidence of many respected in the industry. I didn't come up with it.What you stated in one thread, on the other hand, lacked evidence and logic. Do you care to share it with us again?You learn a bit of electrical engineering, use an oscilloscope on the PSU FETs to see their switching frequency and realize the problem yourself.It cannot get simpler than that, really.
ty_ger07That's how the stuff I mentioned was discovered by those respected people. I'm just stating what was discovered through research; it's not something I came up with.What was your proposal again? The PSU craps out, the voltage drops to nearly zero, the card somehow draws a power spike from the zero power the PSU is producing, somehow that causes it to kill itself, and the CPU and memory and everything else hooked up to the PSU continues to operate just fine throughout that whole event and you can even hear the video game sounds continue to play. Ok, makes sense.It's a fine theory. Most of it makes sense. But why invent a new theory? There are all kinds of strange theories we could make up. Is it that important to try to make something other than the GPU the culprit? What is the motivation? Where is the evidence?And, for fun, can you please provide an example of an ATX power supply operating at a 100hz switching frequency?
farmer_taMy FTW3 3090 died from Halo MCC Dec 2020 and I had it paired with a Corsair AX1000 PSU. People that reported failures had there cards paired with high end PSUs. I've been lurking around these forums since Dec 2020 and I've seen many theories ranging from "bad" PSU choices to the orientation of how people mount there GPUs (horizontally/vertically). It gets pretty ridiculous I tell you. The GPU controls its own power, that is a fact. The problem is not with PSUs but the GPU itself ! If only a handful a PSUs work for 3090s then EVGA and Nvidia MUST state it on the requirements, but they cant because its not the problem.
