Players have reported that after they hit the play button for New World, their fan speed increases drastically, in-game FPS drops to 0, and then the entire system crash with an error message stating that the GPU is not detected. Players have taken their concerns to the official New World forums and social platforms such as Reddit and Twitter.
Playing the New World beta on my EVGA 3090 has fried my graphics card completely. There are many accounts of this same thing happening with the same card with the same game.@TEAMEVGA @playnewworld @EVGA_JacobF I just want to make sure this doesn’t happen to others — Gladd (@Gladd) July 21, 2021
Patch Coming Soon
Now, one important thing to note here is that most of the players who have experienced GPU failures during the game used an Nvidia RTX 3090 GPU manufactured by the American hardware-making company EVGA. Moreover, one player reported that the game bricked an EVGA-manufactured RTX 3090 card during the alpha testing and another of the same GPU during the beta testing. In an official statement to PC Gamer, EVGA recently confirmed that it will replace every single bricked GPUs. “Yes, all failed 3090’s are being replaced,” said a spokesperson.
