That would make me absolutely sick to my stomach having a game destroy a 3090. The fact that it's a generic looking mmo just adds to the sting.

Amazon should be held responsible and should replace everyone who had their card destroyed, if they can't get a replacement from an RMA. All band together and get a lawsuit.

Vegamyster1423d ago

There is supposed to be safeguards in place to prevent cards from doing this, it also seems to only be affecting EVGA RTX 3090's, not other brands/cards. EVGA probably overlooked something and will replace them, i can't see Amazon being held accountable if no one else is having problems.

XxINFERNUSxX1422d ago

But if it only happens with this game but other games are fine then it seems it's Amazon's fault. How can it be only one game, that's odd.

Vegamyster1422d ago

This isn't the first time it's happened, they've apparently had issues with other games in the past: https://forums.evga.com/Fix...

No game destroy a graphics card. Only the manufacturer can destroy it by not installing safety measures, sufficient cooling and power delivery system.

StoneyYoshi1422d ago

It's been stated that this isn't only affecting the EVGA models. Jaystwocents stated that in his video explaining this situation right now.

It's EVGA's fault not Amazon's. No other cards were reported to be damaged just EVGA ones.

StoneyYoshi1422d ago

According to Jaystwocents there are other MIB's that this is happening to as well. https://youtu.be/KLyNFrKyG7...

I mean thousands of people are playing New World at the moment. And the only people with this problem all have the exact same graphics card. So it's hard to blame Amazon for this...

XxINFERNUSxX1422d ago (Edited 1422d ago )

@Vegamyster hmm so it seems the issue is more on EVGA's RTX 3090. I have a EVGA 3070 XC3 ULTRA since Jan. and been using a few of their GPUs in the past along with my current power supply a EVGA 850w platinum. Now I will be thinking twice as for my next GPU brand even though I have no issues with my GPU. 😁

If they were gonna get into game development. They should've started with single player games imo

Is it really a review bomb if the game deserves it?

Might get me to try it out since I hate playing MMOs on PC.

jznrpg371d ago (Edited 371d ago )

I liked MMO’s on PC back in the day but I do prefer console these days. I may check this out

What makes a console MMO more preferable to a PC one?

Christopher362d ago

Better controls (I hate keyboard heavy games) and no need for chat communication. So, mostly a preference of how I want to enjoy my online games. I don't want to be typing or clicking buttons. Just holding a controller, chatting when I want (but hearing others when needed in raids even if I'm not). It also tends to be a much better UI. Lot less clutter without the unnecessary hot bars and chat UI and whatnot. Most PC-focused MMOs have a lot of button pressing for abilities that doesn't make it more fun, just more tedious I find.
