Hello, everyone. I’ve just received a 3070 FTW3 Ultra from Evga but I have noticed people using 3X and 2X cards are still having bricking issues. Is it safe to play the game with my new card once it’s installed or not?
Using the same 3070 FTW3 Ultra and have no issues what so ever. Think it’s very rare for a card to brick in the grand scheme of things, even when playing New World. Double check your temps just to be safe but I’ve had no problems at all.
108 hours so far.

Thanks for the info, I’ll probably reduce power drawage just to be safe, have fun!
The bricking issue is a manufacturing defect, not the game itself. There were certain uncapped fps portions of the game and certain card were spinning up to the point of failure. Amazon have added caps to menus/load screens to mitigate the issue and the manufacturers have been upholding warranties on this issue. If you still feel weary about it, set a fps cap in the game or use v-sync/g-sync to match fps to your monitors refresh rate.

Watch this:
If you read the comments in this video, you can see a lot of people mentioning that their cards are doing fine, it’s really down to manufacturing and whether or not you have a card with weak soldering joints.

Yes it’s safe to play with a properly built 3070 - I am.
NW has not bricked any cards, it has exposed flaws in poorly built cards.
I would also add that out of all of the claims that were floating around about how many cards were bricked the actual number according to EVGA turned out to be 24.

I am not saying that its nw fault or not.
But i imagine if someones very expensive card dies, she/he wouldt just say, it okay, just bad soldering. 
If i had a gpu like that, i definitely would accept the advice of that video.
So I reckon its safe to assume that more recently manufactured cards, from EVGA at least, should be free from this issue?

Yes. They said that the defect was confined to one early runs of 3090s
My advice is simple:
“If you are at all concerned that your card may have faults NW could expose then use the nVidia Control Panel and lock your FPS to 60.”
Yes, I found that very interesting. It became quite obvious that a lot of people were just adding “Hey, me too!” to those conversations either to deliberately stir the pot or karma points or simple trolling.
Guys, and with the Gigabyte RTX 3070 Ti ? it’s new.
Watching this with interest, as I am running the NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3070 - GIGABYTE AORUS MASTER. Thusfar, I have not have any major issues, some graphic strangeness and “Flickers” and the only thing I have done is ensure that I am FPS capped at 60.
I am very nervous right now reading this.
if the card is dead, its probably because of bad fans or something.
the game will not kill your card. and if you worry that much, you can always reduce graphics to medium.
on 1050 gtx ti, medium graphics, windows 7, the card is still kinda cold. and on 40-60 fps most of the time.
just clean dust or something. and make sure your PSU can actually handle a 3070.
*how many people lost their card compared to how many people play it ?
how well did they manage it ? how long do they have the card ? CPU ? PSU ?
there are so many questions for this problem.
Have a 3070 and doing just fine. Have frames capped at 120 for computer. Worse thing that happened was the cor temp hit low 70’s and that is because I was running to much at once on 3 different screens.
It actually heated up because I accidentally opened magnifier with windows hot keys and zoom way in on the game where it covered all 3 screens >.>

Anyone saying that a Game(software) can’t brink your card/pc has no clue, if it’s multi brands with multi versions clearly it’s not just the card manufacturers. Just keep an idea on it. Lowering your fps may or may not not help I’d lower the wattage to the GPU and wouldn’t over clock.
Yes, don’t be a weird.
