Amazon: “If your GPU dies, blame its manufacturer, not New World”

Since the Beta of New World, much has been said that we are facing a game ” burning cards “, and is that during the initial launch many Nvidia GeForce RTX GPUs passed away , being the most curious of all that EVGA was the main affected , to the point that he had to admit that there was a factory defect in some of his GPUs that resulted in their death when playing this MMO.

Just last week, a report of graphics deaths came out again, this time the Gigabyte GeForce RTX being the most affected , and after so many rumors, it was Amazon itself that wanted to settle the matter, claiming that if there was a culprit, New World it certainly wasn’t .

“In the last few days, we have received some reports of gamers having problems with their GeForce RTX graphics cards. After a detailed investigation, we could not find any unusual behavior by New World that could be the reason for these problems. EVGA already has confirmed manufacturing errors on some GeForce RTX cards. New World is safe to play. Players who have experienced a hardware failure are advised to contact the manufacturer. “

Logically, the funny thing is that all the dead GPUs have been running Amazon’s game , and it is alleged that there is something in the graphics engine, a code error, bad optimization, whatever, that causes certain Ampere GPUs at certain points consume more energy than they should and end up dying.

What’s more, something that is already common in the game is when many people are added fighting, even with a GeForce RTX 3090 the game stays at 0.0 FPS in an animation , freezing the image for a good handful of minutes until the Animation is completed and the frames increase, so who knows if that is where the consumption peaks appear, but it is evident that this problem exists and has been experienced by the vast majority of players.

Whatever it is, no one seems to know how these GPUs can die.
