[Hardware]Fresh reports suggest New World is again helping brick expensive Nvidia GPUs

[Ronaldskk.]

 

That said two of the struggling GPUs are EVGA RTX 3090 FTW Ultra cards—one which had already been RMA'd but had received the wrong revision of the RTX 3090 in the process—while the other is a Gigabyte RTX 3080 Ti. We also have a report from one user about it potentially causing a fatal error with their RTX 3070-powered Alienware M17 R4 gaming laptop.

 

A lot of the issues people seem to have been having surround the settings screen and the load the game puts the hardware under whenever something gets switched around in there. These errors are not necessarily always bricking the graphics cards in question, but there is a whole slew of folk on the New World forums trying to figure out ways to extend their playtime between crashes.

 

Though at least there are reports from admins that the New World devs are aware of certain hardware related problems and are working on it.
