Power without control is useless. Limit Limiting the fps will be an obligation soon.

Glad i skipped the 3000 series, the power design is garbage.

It's more due to a misconception,
hardware from NVidia as it's not the 1st RTX board who have been reported having this kind of issues,
or software as Blizzard had also had problem on that point in the past...
Also it is still on the beta, it will be corrected (we hope so) on final.
Last point playing on Beta is not "playing before everyone on a game".
In fact you play to find issues and CAN have this kind of problem or other bothering things (OS corruption, disk misswriting and more)...
It's include in the contract that no one read before you enter the beta 🙂

Its not just Nvidias cards, as AMDs are blowing up too on it. :P

The cards blowing up is not a software issue; it never is. The hardware should be fine no matter what software is running, all D4 has done is expose design flaws in the hardware that managed to stay hidden until now.

You wish. :P

AIBs cheaping out on power stages, components. Esp Gigabyte. Remember their PSUs blowing up last year?

Only within the cards design parameters. Once OCing and OV'ing comes in, all bets are off.

Undervolting solves this... I run my 3080 at 0.8 @ 1800mhz
Still the memory junction goes to 100degrees, will have to mod the card

no it doesn't

Not this game but yes OC or bad cooler or abnormally low speed of fan cooler causes to heat until damage any GPU.

last weeks beta ate all 24gb of my 3090s Vram but was only utilizing 60% so there are definitely some oddities in the software

I had 2x 3080Tis die on me like this, one MSI Suprim, which died within the first week, one Gigabyte Gaming OC which died after 1 year of usage. The replacement Gigabyte Gaming OC I have now (for 3/4 of a year) I undervolted as soon as I got it into the system, and so far so good. I can't say for sure what the cause is, but my guess is transient spikes and cheap components in power delivery. Either way, every time it happened under heavy load and I'm pretty sure the card went over its 370W limit when the black screen/fan 100% happened.
That being said, I probably played like 20+ hours last weekend of Diablo 4 maxed out @3440x1440p and other than the occasional stutters, I had no issues (thankfully).
Maybe I should at some point put the card back on stock settings and have it die again before warranty expires... 😳

NV controll panel > set FPS cap = not that hard to do

Though it doesn't say the card got bricked and might be PSU failure instead.

Hot take (pun intended): Manufacturers should introduce a hardware limit of 500 FPS via BIOS.
It would prevent a lot of clueless people from BBQing their cards or unnecessarily RMAing because "coil whine". As a result, a lot of energy and resources could be saved. Also, the GPU BIOS modding community would get a popularity boost. Everyone wins!
