I almost bought the 4090 but didnât like the power requirements and wasnât ready to switch to 4K, so I went with the 4070, max temp in D4 with ultra settings, 43.
I have to agree. Normally during my gaming sessions since I set the fan curve to a custom one, I have been seeing 150F on the GPU die, and up to 160ish on the memory/hotspot.
But after doing that simple test, and seeing it spike up nearly 10 degrees more? Yikes.
Best thing would be to take the cover and cooler off and check those caps for swelling if you feel comfortable with it go buy a fluke multimeter itâs easy enough to learn the basics to check resistors. I doubt theyâll be able to get an RMA from EVGA.
i had the same issue in diablo immortal when that game was new, after couple of patches the issue was gone so i guess its game engine that is not optimized
You responded directly to me, not the OP, and I have already explained to you, after you interjected, what my issue is that has been reproduced multiple times.
The only cards that were affected were 3080tiâs and they were a select batch that were made with cheap comps due to shortages during the time frame trying to keep up with demand. If your card is properly built, it shouldnât brick
Honestly we are talking about two different problems in this thread right now, I can understand the confusion. Perhaps this topic should get its own thread. And leave the 3090 bricked thread to its own fate.
But they both need to be in Tech support where they belong.
Fair enough. I did create my own thread, but I have been very vocal about it to make it more visible. I still think the issue I am having could be connected to what is causing the bricked GPUs.
Sounds line faulty cards, ive had my cards overheat in the past, but pc shut down long before anything was getting fried. However i did get a bluescreen on my old laptop with a 1060 card last night playing d4 and that have never happened before
Didnât they have a option for a seperate download package on the pre install for Ultra Settings? I could of sworn I heard people mention it I wonder if theres a connection?
