Got my new replacement card and I’m hammering the hell out of it probably about 30plus hours on this new one in cyberpunk with an over clock Of +85 and a mem overclock of +200 the card came with the latest driver 460.97 this card I’m calling evga’s version two card ie black lips card. One thing I have noticed is temp I’ve cranked the fan speed up at 60 degrees and it keeps the card in the blue for hours in game play but if I don’t open PX1 then temps go up and make the LEDs go red, so I’m having to open PX1 every time even though it’s set to run on windows startup. but only this way seems to keep it cool.

I'm sad to say I need to add my 3090 FTW3 Ultra to the list of failed cards. I thought it was rock solid (have had it for a month) but last night while playing Division 2 it just died. Crashed to desktop, then both of my displays were covered in thousands of pixelated squares that changed to tiny dots. Rebooted the machine, it appeared to be fine for 20 minutes then it happened all over again and the displays finally went black. It was a 2014 Taiwan card if that matters. I am so heartbroken by this....I just emailed support to try to get my replacement, I hope they have them available. I paid for advanced RMA with Sat already. 

Hello, I had a 3090 running solid for two months playing call of duty, forza, witcher 3, red dead 2, borderlands 2 and some . I randomly wanted to play some Halo MCC, and when I did my FTW3 3090 got bricked :( . I haven't gotten RMA approval yet, I am also based in Canada (Capitial region) so I would imagine shipping would take weeks :(

i saw the same problem on youtube

Both had different PSU which met the power requirements, each is 750W.

3090 has a recommended PSU of 850W and your PSUs were (used probably) 750W so much less than 750W in reality depending on years of usage. Try undervolting the GPU and see what that does. If it works then you need new PSU.

Hello, Recently got a 3090 FTW3 ULTRA.
 
I plugged it into my PC, and it worked fantastic for 2.5 hours. Then, I received a crash while playing Halo(very low utilization as it's a potato game, and was frame locked to 165), followed by "no video signal". Restarting did not fix, and when I put in my old graphics card, there was no signal either - the motherboards PCIEx16 slot was straight up dead.
 
Lucky, I had a backup PC, and put the 3090 in here, it still worked. However, I just received the exact same issue - a crash followed by no video output from GPU. This time, the computer restarted and output resumed. But I'm worried that there will be a next time, and it will also kill my second PC. Two crashes, all within 2.5 hours of use on two different PCs, on a game that barely stresses the GPU, one which resulted in a straight up destroyed mobo seems to be a major problem.
 
To clear up any questions I know will be asked - both PC's had their nvidia drivers cleanly installed for the 3090 prior to use. Both had different PSU which met the power requirements, each is 750W. Both were seated/installed correctly. Both PCs had run w/ a 1080(bought shortly after it was released) prior to the 3090 and have never had any sort of hardware failure related to the GPU during they're use. Both PCs were top of the line, first one was using a 10900k, second a 7700k, with rest of hardware matching quality. Temperatures were closely monitored and never got close to anything I would worry about, for both CPU and GPU. I don't have graphs, unfortunately.
 
edit: I ran a bit of a benchmark stress test - maximum temperature never exceeded 75 under full stress load(99%), which is the same as my ingame experience when I first got the card. As said earlier, the crashes described occurred instead under very light load, under 10% due to Halo being a potato game. I will run a continuous test overnight at 10% GPU load and update this post in the AM. 
 
What I'm looking for:
 
1) An explanation as to what is causing these crashes, as I see a ton of issues that appear similar when I google it, hopefully from EVGA.
 
2) A solution, if one exists, which I have not found in my googling.
 
3) Some advice on how to test power draw / temperature in a controlled way(haven't done much benchmarking in the past so would like some advice on which software is best for this)
 
4) Some reassurance that this graphics card will not fry PC #2, especially after I just experienced the same crash which fried my extremely expensive, relatively new 10900k machine. I already ordered a replacement mobo, and would very much like to know that I can put my 3090 back into my computer and not end up just frying another $250 dollar motherboard because of some absurd crash. 

How did it fry your PCIE?

The FTW3 cards are known to pull more than 75 watts from the PCI express slot on the mobo. 75 watts is the maximum spec so if your mobo isn't over designed, it could kill the slot.

Wow. I was also playing Halo with a friend when my card died. The load wasn't high but he was having connection issues which was causing the game to stutter. Maybe it was something to do with the high/low gpu usage fluctuations. I don't think I'll be playing through the rest of halo 4 now D:

You will probably be good by limiting your max voltage somehow, either with a general undervolt or by locking your voltage at some point below 1.068 (or whatever the actual safe voltage really is).

Seen a lot of 3090 that do this crash

I've got an RTX 3090 and I've played about every game possible (yes Halo too) and no issues to date. 

Yea and if you’ve read the forums we all have EVGA 3090, which is why we sre saying it’s a 3090 issue. The thing is it’s not just a that we all have had the card did while playing this game, but we have had 2+ 3090s each, die while playing halo MCC. No it’s not just Halo as it happened to someone playing LoL, but this is definitely an EVGA problem, cause I think I saw someone say the same thing happen to their 3080.

100% there is something that MCC does that causes EVGA cards to fail.

Devil's advocate: Please explain how under-powering a GPU should cause it to fry.

Damage to VRMs to name one.

Interesting.  I would like to hear this explanation.  How does too little power damage VRMs?  Wouldn't the PSU turn off from undervoltage protection?  Wouldn't the power shutting off to the VRMs cause them no harm?  Just so you know, the VRM power stages are rated to operate down to 2.5 volts.  Your whole computer will turn off WAY before dipping that low.
 
When you click the shutdown button, do you expect the computer to burn up?  When you click the shutdown button, if your computer burns up, do you blame the shutdown button, or do you blame the computer's inability to turn off safely?
 
Additionally, if the computer burns up most often when playing games with the lowest load, how does that translate into a power issue?  If it were an issue of too little power, wouldn't you expect the computer to burn up most often with a high load, rather than burning up most often with a low load?
 
To be fair, I completely agree that you shouldn't buy an expensive video card and use it with an inadequate power supply.  But to say that is the reason the video card burned up?  I think you need evidence.  There are many similar video cards which have burned up in a similar way when using an adequate power supply.  Perhaps you should take that into consideration before making a statement without evidence.

There are threads around the place with people have more than the recommended PSU Watts and they have still had RTX 380/3090 go tits up.
