No, this is not the cause. It’s something specific in the game causing it. If it was a defective GPU, why is EVERYONE with a Gigabyte 3080 TI having the same issues with THIS GAME ONLY?
Please read all the other posts here and on reddit. This issue is rampant.
I’m sorry JohnSmith, but you’re off base here. I’ve seen you say the same things in other posts as well. You are somewhat correct, if there was something specific causing it, such as power draw, high frame rate etc, but that is not the case here. What you’re saying is EVERYONE has a problem with their system if they have Diablo 4 crashing, yet they can play every other game with maxed out settings. That makes absolutely no sense and you must know it. From your post history you seem like a smart person.
Your logic would apply if there were a handful of people experiencing this, but it’s literally hundreds across multiple forum posts with different PSUs, CPUs, RAM and Motherboards. The only thing that is in common is Diablo 4 and The Gigabyte 3080Ti. Some have reported the same with the 3080 base card, but most of it has been the 3080ti.
Again, we can run this card through it’s paces with every other game, triple A or not, benchmarks, etc, no issues. AND these are people that are not running over clocks. I am running stock speeds, stock bios, which is up to date with Gigabyte.
When this happens, there is not a temperature spike, high power draw or anything similar. You’re simply walking through a dungeon or sitting in town and boom, it crashes.
Regardless of the cause, this NEEDS to be investigated with Blizzard and Gigabyte. I’ve already sent all the evidence of this with these threads to Gamers Nexus and other Tech Channels to investigate like they did with New World. There are also some tech sites that have already picked up this issue in my searching.
This is not good and there is potential for even more cards to brick next weekend.
