I heard the game fried 3090s in beta and assumed the problem would be fixed. I played for about 20 minutes and my screens turned off but I can hear ingame audio. I turn back on my PC and had this error.
wowzer. Sorry my friend. I guess we will wait to see what the fix is as this would be frustrating. Mine quit twice today and I donât want to chance it.
A bit offtopic, but do you really use a 3090 with a full hd 60hz monitor? 
Its 144hz. My 2nd monitor is my cheap one.
I take it you didnât go into the video settings and select the FPS cap? I believe that was there answer for the âfixâ you mentioned. Being able to pick what Fps would wanted to play at.
This was something that EVGA announced was their fault. It was bad cards.
Now, EVGA has confirmed to PC World that further analysis of the fried graphics cards has revealed âpoor workmanshipâ was the real cause for the failure. Inspections found that soldering around the MOSFET circuit â a crucial part within the GPU â was done poorly, causing affected cards to break.

Did you not install the driver update to fix the issue? It isnât on new world as much as it being a faulty card from EVGA. Sorry to hear regardless that sucks.
So right now who do I contact about this problem. I do have warranty on my card.
I updated before I played today.
Gonna have to contact EVGA directly unfortunately
I was sure they fixed that with a driver update, during open beta i heard nothing like that
EVGA Support https://www.evga.com/support/
They have phone numbers as well as email and such to contact them there. Sorry about your loss on the card. I hope you can get it replaced soon! 
Yup, I did go in and change that. Also lowered other settings prior to even starting the playthrough. I made it about an hour in before it caused the issue for me. I am going to try clocking speed, but honestly not sure it is worth it. Have contacted EVGA as I know my card is a 2020 version.
I hear you mate. My 3090 died too.
My second one in fact. I lost one in the beta.
Rma. Got the new one. Did the fps cap. Lowered power and clocks.
Everything they said.
The second 3090 died tonight.
Its not just evga 
Vsync and FPS cap in game options donât seem to work.
Yea, you cant release a game that kills the most expensive component in the PC. I cant believe:
That they have not figured this out definitively by the release date of the actual RTM.
That they would sell a game that they know has the potential of bricking your hardware.
Do the right thing papa Bezos.
What part of âthe cards were faultyâ did you miss?
Itâs not just the cards being faulty. Hundreds of replies on my thread here New World Crashing my GPU - EVGA 1080 FTW - #115 by Tekmaniac with so many different types of cards being caused to crash. Thereâs something in their code thatâs causing cards to either crash or burn out. EVGA may have admitted a fault but at this point I can assure you that those cards wouldnât have fried if those people never launched New World in itâs current state. Considering most of us had no issues with any other game, maintain our PCâs well, run benchmarks without issues and even in my case - run up to 6 games at once and still canât get my GPU to crash the way New World has caused crashes.
Maybe there was some faulty soldering, however there are reports of newer made cards, that still have the same issue. Now EVGA told me TODAY that this is a problem limited to the first run or two of FTW3s, and the issue was solved, yet they told me to âproceed with cautionâ regarding New World. So as much as the workmanship may have been bad, I still have NEVER had an issue with any other graphically taxing game, yet there is still something about THIS game that is linked to the problem.
There is a stark difference between crashing and frying a video card.
