EVGA say they’re working with affected customers already
The closed beta for Amazon’s MMONew Worldkicked off earlier this week. As MMOs are wont to do, there were some initial hiccups, though not the ones you’d usually expect. Numerous players reported that their graphics cards overheated or diedwhile playing in the beta, many specifically EVGA’s Nvidia RTX 3090 cards. Amazon quickly released a patch to alleviate concerns about frame rates in game. EVGA have now also confirmed that they will be replacing affected GPUs.

In a statementto PC Gamer, EVGA say (perhaps a bit non-specifically) that “Yes, all failed 3090’s are being replaced.” According to PC Gamer, “there is reportedly also now a specific ‘New World’ category when it comes to giving the reason for the return of the faulty graphics card.”
EVGA have reportedly given a similar statement to tech YouTuber “JayzTwoCents”. In a videotesting New World with an RTX 3090 GPU, Jay says that an EVGA member told him players with affected GPUs are “already getting their replacement cards,” saying that shipping has already begun for replacements.
Neither Amazon nor EVGA have been particularly clear on what the problemactuallyis. EVGA’s RTX 3090 cards appeared to be the most mentioned failures from players, though other series cards and models reportedly experienced overheating. It’s possible that neither really know where the fault lies until more player reports on card failure come in.
