As you remember from an article from two days ago, Igor Wallossek from Igor's Lab pointed to a design flaw in EVGA's RTX 3090 card that was causing the GPU to be pushed extensively while playing Amazon's New World game, and essentially bricking the card.

Yesterday, Tom's Hardware quoted YouTuber JayzTwoCents, where he attempted to recreate the same situation after Amazon released a patch for the game which backed off on the frames per second that were stressing the chip on EVGA's GPU. What is interesting is that JayzTwoCents took to Twitter as well and posted a list of graphics cards that he found to become bricked while playing the game.
