We have seen several reports of users ending up with a bricked GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card when running Amazon's New World MMORPG. Igor Wallossek of Igor's Lab believes that it is more of a design flaw with the EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card than the entire RTX 3090 portfolio.

Wallossek admits that he did not have a readily available EVGA card to test with, but he did have not only the resources to other GPUs but also has reached out to other colleagues that are in the research and development groups of larger AICs (i.e. NVIDIA, AMD, etc.). With the information that he received, plus his own input, he feels confident that the design of the EVGA units is the actual culprit to bricking user's graphics cards.
