New Reports indicate Amazons New World-MMO is again bricking NVIDIA Geforce cards
Amazon's long-awaited massively multiplayer online game New World was released on Tuesday. We may call the game a resounding success because, according to the Steam database, it has already surpassed the maximum of 700,000 concurrent users. It's unfortunate that for some players, the experience has been fraught with difficulties.
Again messages have surfaced from gamers whose video card has failed while they are playing a video game yet again. For example, German WinFuture reports that their Gigabyte RTX 3090 Gaming graphics card was bricked after the game was closed. A Reddit user claims issues with an RTX 3080 Ti Eagle from Gigabyte, and in the same post, two replies from EVGA RTX 3080 customers who were also unlucky can be found.
While it doesn't appear to be a severe or broad problem, it does seem reoccurring. Likely the patched version of New World still triggers a significant amount of load on some graphics cards, which is unfortunate. Using the scenario above, WinFuture has found that, in addition to the game being closed, a significant change in load can be noticed after modifying the graphics settings.
The Amazon MMO closed beta began at the end of July, shortly after complaints of EVGA RTX 3090 graphics cards that were bricked arose. The manufacturer stated at the beginning of this month that the issues were caused by improper soldering in the card's power supply, which was discovered later that month. Since the first reports of faulty cards were received, the business has received and restored around 24 copies of the cards.

Best is when you have bought your card from a scalper with no invoice and played with this game until your VGA has died...

Things like that should happen so that people would stop buying from scalpers altogether. Besides, if you don't get an invoice (original receipt), doesn't it suggest it's potentially not even a scalper but an outright thief selling stolen property?
Edit: Actually, it could also be a sign of simply avoiding taxes as well.

The GPUs are made to support all the load that is needed, and thousands of frames per second without any problem, that's what they are made for, if something happens to them, the problem is not the game or the software that caused it, the problem is directly in hardware, as EVGA confirmed days ago that some of their models have had very poor quality of workmanship.
If this game causes those graphics cards to fail, it means that they will fail sooner rather than later, this game just seems to be the best option right now to stress test GPUs.
As per today, there are to many popular games that when starting them in the intro there are more than +3000 FPS and in the main menu as well, and until now a case similar to this has never been heard, with which this has simply been a misunderstanding and people seem to be very ignorant and think that everything that flies on the internet is eaten.
Now when your GPU breaks, you have the perfect excuse and say that this game has destroyed my GPU.

It absolutely is poor programming for a game menu to cause fps to jump up to the stratosphere. Yes, I have seen it myself and it's annoying to go to the drivers to limit the fps of a game because of that. Imagine you bought a regular car but it always revved up to 4000 rpm on its own when idling, without you even touching the pedal, for no sensible reason. I bet you'd go to the dealer and ask what wtf is going on.
However, obviously the video card shouldn't fail permanently. It should be able to protect itself from its own functionality, especially when it's not overclocked by the user.

Imagine buying a super overpriced gpu and the game bricks it. That is just beyond sucking.
