Is this an older version of Afterburner? I just redownloaded from their website and this is not the same looking.
Where do I get that one?
That’s the current version of MSI afterburner, it’s just a different skin than the default. You can change to that skin in the settings menu, select User Interface tab, and choose MSI Cyborg Afterburner skin White by Drerex Design

MSI Afterburner has loads of various skins. You can find them in the settings menu.

I just made this forum account just to help you realise that there’s not a small amount of people with this issue. I have a EVGA 3080 xc3 ultra and my pc also crashed with a black screen and 100% fans and though I was one of the lucky ones who’s gpu didn’t die from this I refuse to load up your game again until I have a guarantee it wont happen again. Not trying the lower power limit eather, wont risk it.
BTW, this is a response from EVGA support when I told them what happened to my pc:
Dear Patrik,
Many thanks for your inquiry. At the moment we are investigating with all involved parties why these crashes are happening with different card of various brands and can not recommend playing New World at current state. Should you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Also want to add, that I have been using this gpu for almost a year now to play VR games on highest settings in the 4k HP Reverb G2, Red dead redemption 2 maxed out on 1440p + 1.25x resolution scale and never had this happen. This is eather only your fault or yours and nvidia’s fault combined. Not just theirs that’s 100% sure. Fix your game, I payed 40€ for it yet I’ve been advised by gpu manufacturer not to play it.

DEFINITELY not just EVGA or even just 3000 series cards. There are SO many people, myself included with 1080s where this is happening.
Idk what kind of responses I expected but this definitely isn’t it 
Glad your card made it out alive.

I agree. That response is just embarrassing. There’s proof all over the place, even video evidence from Jay showing New World is not respecting power limits set in MSI Afterburner. I have done testing of my own which supports what Jay found. In my case I noticed that NW drew about 15-20% more power than the set limit. A behaviour I am not seeing anywhere else. Clearly NW is doing something out of the ordinary. But I dont think AGS will ever admit to that. If they’d admit to causing peoples card breaking they would have opened a can of worms.

If game would produce power spikes it would affect all GPU’s. Not selective as it is now.

It’s sole hardware manufacturers (EVGA + NVIDIA) responsibility to deliver graphics card (GPU, PCB design, firmware, drivers) able to run all the existing and future applications and games without getting damaged.
Too high clocks, too much TDP allowed, badly temperature management - beyond hardware capabilities - might cause your GPU to fry. But that’s something managed at firmware and driver level, not by game developers.

Could be a combination of something in the game as well as something to do with the GPU card. You can’t deny the fact that people in this thread have played all sorts of high end graphic intensive games, some over a period of years, and only encountered issues with New World.
There is definitely more going on here than just defective graphic cards, as is clearly shown in the video’s posted in this thread.

Agreed. I can play anything under the sun, and have without a single GPU issue. The second I play NW it starts happening.
I get the game is pretty graphically intense, but not the most I’ve played.
It’s irrefutable at this point that it’s error on both sides. Jay’s video specifically states that. Bad game coding/design + exposes bad manufacturing.
He called it the perfect recipe/combination.
Unfortunately I think either way this plays out, it won’t be in our favor in the form of a real solution on the manufacturer or AGS side. Right now they’re pointing fingers at each other and us as players are stuck in the middle.

I do not say that, it might have to do something with game loading graphic, so at times its more demanding, but it should never go above 100% power. Thats GPU problem, somewhere is leaking it is on chip most likly … if it would be a software driver issue i think AMD and Nvidia would already fix it.
Side note: GPU manufactories wont admit something is wrong with 2019 2020 2021 chips … can you imagine chaos, how many people would return graphics card? why do we have chip shortage? they might have faulty production for quite some time and we dont have that info, just yet??
NW is a demanding game but literally not more demanding than other games we’ve played, and those games didn’t crash or fry GPUs.
This is isolated.
In regards to your side note:
What in the world are you even talking about? That is a completely separate issue and not NW.
Also if you’ve read even a small portion of this thread you’d realize it’s not just affecting 2020-2021.
The title of the thread is for 1080s, the EVGA versions came out in 2018…
ALSO how in the world are we having to limit our 2018 cards to 70% in order to play this game. That itself is bizarre and should lead you to a different conclusion than what you’re saying.
I used to play before launch and never had an issue with crashing, now I do.
the only thing that changed was the game.

Somtimes I can play for 10+ hours without a single issue… and sometimes I crash 5-6 times in one hour. It may be whatever combination of events that is causing this didn’t happen for you before launch, but I played Alpha and Beta, and this was an issue for me from day 1.

Would you please then care to explain the following scenario (all confirmed with gpu-z and msi afterburner/rivatuner statistics):
Power limit set to 90% - Furmark draws 90% of power
Power limit set to 75% - Furmark draws 75% of power
Power limit set to 90% - Kena bridge of spirits draws 90% of power
Power limit set to 75% - Kena bridge of spirits draws 75% of power
Power limit set to 90% - New World draws anywhere between 100 - 110% of power
Power limit set to 75% - New World draws about 90% of power
That was what my own testing showed. Clearly there must be something off about how New World handles the GPU.

i am on neither side in this, but how come EVGA accepting refund on GPUs than if its Amazon fault? And yeah title says that, but most people here are 2x. 3x. 6x. I do have 1080ti its not working as smooth as it should also had to undervolt… i am just courius how many GPU 1080/ti are second hand? So many selling latly from crypto miners take that into consideration as well. Never buy second hand one if you dont know source.
Thank you for the guide, I just needed to reduce the power limit to around 80% and temp limit to 70 degrees and that seemed to work for me.
I’m running older hardware my CPU is a AMD FX-8320 with 16GB of ram and using a EVGA GTX 1080 8GB. As of this posting I’m using the newest GPU drivers that’s available.
I owned New World for couple days now and not once seen a crash when playing the game.
OCCT full stresstest, furmark gpu test 8h, - alls good. New World open beta and some games - RDR2 and BF1 (but not gta5) - force pc reboot.
Driver 456.71 fixed my problem.
