New World has been dogged by reports that it bricks pricey RTX 3090s graphics cards

Amazon's New World is a big hit on Steam, where it has seen a peak of over 190,000 concurrent players. At the time of this article's publication, 132,246 people were playing New World on Steam.

However, New World has been dogged by reports that it bricks pricey RTX 3090s graphics cards.

A spokesperson for EVGA has confirmed to PC Gamer that the company will replace every one of its GeForce RTX 3090 cards that have been bricked by Amazon's New World. "Yes, all failed 3090's are being replaced," according to an EVGA representative.

Many of the bricked cards appear to be manufactured by EVGA, based on reports in a thread on the New World subreddit. And issues with EVGA cards may run earlier than the beta, as one player on the New World forums said they’ve had one EVGA card die on them during the game’s alpha and one die during this beta.

But beyond the temporary fix, Amazon Games released a statement claiming that the studio did not find any “widespread issues with 3090s, either in the beta or during [their] many months of alpha testing.”

Amazon Games also mentioned that it’ll be implementing a new patch for New World today that automatically caps players’ frames per second on the game’s menu screen, presumably to prevent any stray graphics-related issues from popping up for certain players with high-end hardware.

Reports first came to the surface via the New World subreddit, where the user 'greyone78' posted that their EVGA RTX 3090 RTW3 Ultra graphics card was bricked after adjusting their graphics quality in New World. After saving the new graphical setting, the GPU seized up, according to greyone78 who previously said that they were playing Cyberpunk 2077 on the Ultra settings with the same card before it died.

EVGA didn’t immediately reply to a request for comment, but a company representative told Windows Central that “at the moment we are dealing with specific problems, if it is a problem really confirmed we will inform and inform you in our EVGA forums on our website.” But if you’ve got a 3090 card of any kind, you might want to wait to play the game until Amazon’s patch is out just in case.

“The New World closed beta is safe to play,” Amazon Games said. “…We’re grateful for the support New World is receiving from players around the world, and will keep listening to their feedback throughout Beta and beyond.”

The closed beta testing period for New World is slated to last until Aug. 3 at 1:59am CT. The game is scheduled to fully release worldwide on Aug. 31.
