So i just stumbled across on a few topics on Diablo 4's forum with a lot of people saying that the game's beta that took place this past weekend actually bricked or killed their GPUs.

 

What i read was a lot about RTX 3080 Ti cards.

 

Does anyone know anything about this ?

I don't really know.

 

I mean i played the beta on my GTX 1660 SUPER and had no issues.

 

But if you go to the Diablo 4 forums there are a lot of people saying that their 3080 and 3080 Ti card got bricked or killed.

 

It seems it's only happening to the 3080 and 3080 Ti models.

Keep an eye on /r/nvidia but until then, no one knows anything.

The problem isn't the game but the design of those cards

All affected cards need to be recalled...

It will happen with more games in the future.

From what i know of the New World situation for some reason the Over Power Protection failed when playing the game,

And the card will draw more power than the power limit which in some cases will fry your card if the card can't handle the higher power draw.

No. But if you want the most up to date crowdsourced information on.. literally anything, it and twitter are where you want to be.

I don't do either reddit or twitter. LOL 

 

But i usually follow Linus and Jay when it comes to IT and tech.

 

That's why i kinda made the topic - i was surprised there was nothing on their YT channel about this.

What about this that isn't being covered anywhere, if it is even a anything at all, would be something either of them would cover this early? Probably the last places you'd go for up to date tech information in any situation.

Yeah you're right.

 

I was searching for news on this like crazy and can barely find anything.

Why is it always Nvidia cards with these issues?

Corps aren't your friends. "Bottleneck calculators" are BS. Only suckers buy based on brand. It's your PC, do what makes you happy.  If your build meets your needs, you don't need anyone else to "rate" it for you. And talking about being part of a "master race" is cringe. Watch this space for further truths people need to hear.

My guess? nVidia holds the market and is the "go to" name, so everyone codes for all the super neat-o things in nVidia cards.

Plus sloppy programming. I assume nVidia has in place safeguards against over voltages, and some programmer said "naaa, it'll be fine"

 

 

Just a guess tho

NOTE: I no longer frequent this site. If you really need help, PM/DM me and my e.mail will alert me.

GDDR6X is very power hungry, and therefore hot, which means it can cook itself if some games do a surprise funny power virus workload that Nvidia hasn't prepared for and set up the card to downclock under (vs something more well known like Furmark, where a modern card will throttle itself to avoid cooking). High end Nvidia cards use both GDDR6X, and a lot of it, thus why they're the ones that fail. 

 

AMD uses GDDR6.

Interestingly it has always been AIB cards if I remember correctly. The amazon game only bricked EVGA cards and I just looked through a few posts regarding this issue on reddit and bilzzard forum and it seems like it is only Gigabyte cards this time. Which leads to the question is it an nivdia issue or an AIB production/design issue?

What i don't understand is why the hell isn't this being covered in the news ?

 

I literally can't find much if anything about this on other websites.

I thought we covered this already and its simply because there is not (yet) an issue to cover. Can you start linking the accounts of dead cards? Have they been thoroughly vetted? If its limited to a few complainers on the games on forums so far, its not large enough for anyone to care about just yet. Scrolling through /r/diablo, /r/diablo4 and /r/nvidia i'm not seeing anything apart from that one rant I posted earlier.

I already linked a topic from Diablo 4 forum earlier in which there were like 130 replies.

 

Quite a few of those people had this issue.

 

This is the type of stuff that should be news - they can't just kill GPUs and expect people to be ok with this.

Once the situation is researched well enough you can be sure some of the quicker sites like wccftech and videocardz will pick it up. If its anything like New World, the game wasn't killing cards, bad hardware was killing cards. Mostly EVGA. They took care of their customers and fixed the hardware and the problem went away.

You answered your own question. 

If nvidia issue, it would effect all reference models. and most non-reference

If a specific non-reference, its that specific non-reference's problem. Such as not having the correctly rated capacitors at some part of the circuit. 

Diablo 4 is not killing any GPUs. That is putting the blame on the wrong thing. 
Just like new world did not kill any GPUs, it was never on Amazon. EVGA cut cost in a very specific way with caps that allowed the voltages to run out of spec on certain loads, if it was not new world, it would have been some other studio that found that bug.

It's about time someone made a video on this - hopefully blizzard gets their shit together and actually fixes it.

I was all set up to get mad at him like I went off on him for previous issues (like 12vhpw and new world). But he actually had a well reasoned stance on the situation this time. Even with the click bait headline it was far more informative to viewers then in the past. 

Dude improved.

In the actual video he goes on about how this is a hardware problem, not a diablo 4 problem, just that diablo 4 was the perfect storm to show the hardware issue.

If its like the last issue, it was hardware. The GPU's failed due to faulty hardware/build.
