As early as July, there were reports that the MMORPG New World developed by Amazon Game Studio made the RTX 3090 graphics card made by EVGA expensive during the internal testing phase. The development team claimed at the time that players can play the game safely and securely, but in actual tests, many players’ 3090 graphics cards failed, and many of New World Coins that players prepared in advance did not come in handy. EVGA confirmed this, and the investigation of the problem revealed that improper welding caused the hardware failure.

When reports of graphics card failures surfaced, some users speculated the problem was by the absence of an upper frame rate set in the New World beta menu. When the development team limited frame rates as a preventive measure, EVGA replaced the affected cards and investigate returns to understand exactly what happened.

Although it could not use a copy of the beta version of New World to replicate the problem, according to X-ray analysis, it received less than two dozen affected RTX 3090s. All of this stems from the production run in early 2020, showing poor workmanship in welding around the MOSFET circuit that powers the card. The failure is related to the RTX 3090 fan controller, explaining that the errors seen by some users are because of third-party monitoring tools (such as HWInfo and GPU-Z) incorrectly reporting the noise of the i2c bus because of the fan controller Fault.

As for the new world, after Amazon limited the frame rate in the beta, no further reports of card failure surfaced, and the long-delayed MMO is now scheduled to be released on September 28. If players still have a great interest in New World and hope to create some achievements in the game, then they can rely on IGGM to get more practical information and buy more cheap New World Gold.
