Those bricked RTX 3090s because of New World will be replaced by EVGA
The New World closed beta is underway, and quickly aroused the enthusiasm of fans all over the world to participate. What's sad is that for some reason, some RTX 3090s were damaged by high temperature during the player's playing New World. A recent news said that all video card owners who have become bricks due to participating in the New World MMO closed beta can apply for a replacement service, which surprises those players.
A spokesperson for EVGA confirmed this, saying that all damaged 3090s will be replaced and this is their remedy. In order to deal with the problem of GPU performance abuse, New World game developers decided to limit the FPS of the game without affecting the game experience, thereby reducing the fan speed of the graphics card. They released a new patch as a solution on the official website, and players can download it now. Amazon Games Studios also said that even if the patch is not installed, the New World closed beta is safe to play. According to the official article in the game community, this update will not affect the player's settings in the video menu, but it can effectively reduce the load on the GPU, thereby reducing the damage to the graphics card.
Although these players will get new graphics cards soon, considering that their previous graphics cards worth $2,000 were terminated by New World, they may not agree with the safety of New World.
Youtuber Jason Langevin also contacted EVGA staff and confirmed the authenticity of the graphics card replacement program. The owners of these graphics cards are gamers, and their GPUs were scrapped because of the New World closed beta. In the future, RMA products will be shipped to these people through different channels.
In general, it is wise for EVGA to quickly replace the bricked graphics card for customers this time, and it can have a positive impact on the brand. Because the current victims of New World MMO are only EVGA products, it is easy to doubt the quality of the power components of these cards.
Speaking of this graphics card replacement program, users who want to perform RMA processing on the card need to go through the support system of the EVGA official website. Now the system has added a new category called "New World", which is used to explain the reason for the return of the defective graphics card.
And Langevin announced some new related information through Twitter not long ago. The tweet claimed that the graphics cards that were malfunctioning due to New World also included products from other companies. AMD and other Nvidia users reported that their graphics cards were bricked due to New World MMO.
We still don't know if this is a common situation in the player community, but the game's development team and the GPU company most affected by the game have already taken action on this, let us look forward to the follow-up development.
