The latest report shows that New World is once again helping brick the expensive Nvidia GPU
renew: Since we published the original story yesterday, several readers have contacted us to share their experience with hardware errors when trying to run New World. As we mentioned below, it is not only the EVGA card that has problems when running games, but also the Gigabyte card.
This means two struggling GPUs Yes EVGA RTX 3090 FTW Ultra card-one has been RMA, but received the wrong RTX 3090 revision in the process-and the other is Gigabyte RTX 3080 Ti. We also received a report from a user that it may cause fatal errors on his Alienware M17 R4 gaming laptop equipped with RTX 3070.
People seem to have a lot of problems around setting up the screen, and whenever you switch something there, the game puts pressure on the hardware.These errors may not always brick the problematic graphics card, but there are a lot of people New World Forum Try to find a way to extend the game time between crashes.
Although there are at least reports from administrators, New World developers are aware of some hardware-related issues and are working to resolve them.
ability: Oh, it seems that the new world may become a catalyst for more brick GPUs. In a recent unfortunate beta test, it was discovered that a variety of factors caused high-end Nvidia GPUs to become bricked when playing Amazon’s MMO. Now there are rumors that it happened again.
The initial problem revolved around New World allowing unlimited frame rates in its menu screens, which led to a surge in power consumption for large boi GPUs, and those cards built primarily with EVGA then popped their chips with pops and hiss.
As far as EVGA is concerned, it confessed and stated that it did some cunning soldering on the MOSFETs of a small batch of cards. In fact, due to the New World GPU disaster, it only received about two dead GeForce RTX 3090 cards. Once After reporting the problem, these were replaced without any problems. This is a very reliable response from the company.
On Amazon’s side, although it claimed that the “New World beta is safe”, it did implement a patch soon, which in any case limits the frame rate in the menu screen.
So, it is strange to see reports that it happened again in the final version. Our Alan has been going deep inside the game, testing the best settings and performance of New World, and has not used any GPU so far, despite seeing some strange places.
Even if the fps limit is enabled in the Nvidia control panel and the game, Players report graphics card failure, Not necessarily on the EVGA card. In the closed beta, there were some reports of similar problems with Gigabyte GPUs, and this seemed to raise its ugly head again.
Winfuture report There is a problem with the Gigabyte RTX 3090, because various trigger points may put extra pressure on the graphics card in your machine. It refers to the peak load when changing the graphics card settings, in this case, just close the game to brick the card. “The fan howled 100%, the screen went black, and the PC said goodbye.”
Not fun.
In our tests, Alan noticed that when the graphics settings were changed, the game did perform a hard refresh, and the engine seemed to want to draw the entire scene again, adding more and more details from the low-poly model. This seems to put a lot of pressure on your system, usually just by switching certain graphics options will reach 100% GPU load.

It is worth mentioning that in our experience, we have not seen a card fall, and many people in the team play the new world out of morbid curiosity. There is also the fact that even under 100% load, your GPU should be able to cope, which again illustrates the potential factors that may already exist in graphics card manufacturing, which are actually bricked by running games.
This is something we need to pay close attention to. If you encounter any problems with New World and graphics cards, please contact us and let us know what happened to your settings.
