I remember this capacitor "issue" when the cards launched.
Wasn't the basic consensus that all the boards actually did have the minimum specs, hence no recall, just that some boards went out of their way to use more MLCCs?
So knowing that.. is this not a problem with the game or how this person has overclocked... or both?

I think it was patched but people are speculating maybe it emulates something bu tI removed it from OP until there is something more concrete

Id be more worried of someone "dumping" their life savings in a gaming PC than a card being fried due to poor design.
Like u got something called warranty u know.
But the guy dropped his life savings into a 3090, so yea the down syndrome is high with those clowns.

Seems unlikely to me that the game would use anything other than standard DX interfaces to send commands to the GPU, so I'd suspect that the fault is with the cards and not something catastrophically dangerous the program is doing in and of itself.
To be honest sounds like an issue with the card's drivers and how they interact with these particular models.

Reminds me of the time Epic Game store would crank up your GPU temps just for opening the app.

I mean what the hell… CS : GO uncapped is not setting GPUs on fire

Yea true, it's also a 20 year old game. Plenty of time to optimize.
I'm just saying. I'm on the login screen right now, 65 degrees with a capped framerate. I uncap it and it goes above 75 degrees pretty easily.

Every time I've heard of a game "Killing" a GPU, it's because it's running a game at 2000fps in a menu somewhere. Cap at 60/141/whatever depending on your refresh rate, and if you really want to use Fast Sync for CS:S/GO then set custom settings. You don't even need RTSS, it's in the firmware.
If you don't have a cap I feel sorry for you, because you haven't learned from the past.

Blame the drivers not the game.

Never the tag 'drama' has been more appropiate,
If a shitty beta fried my 3090 I would be fucking crying

If you play this shit game you deserve it.
I'm kidding but the game does look fuckin terrible

This is 1000% on the hardware and drivers. Drivers should prevent runaway thermal issues and hardware should cool it enough so if the drivers fuck up the card doesn't permanently damage itself.
Is it only EVGA cards? TBH that company was recommended online back when I bought my 1080, but I think it was all astroturfing. My 1080 was coil wined out the ass and I would never buy another one of their cards. I remember they also had some type of recall for something. I am not buying anymore EVGA cards.

There was a fix from Nvidia, awhile back. The game seems to bypass that fix and cause 3090s to draw their maximum wattage.

Back in the day, I had 3x 6600GTs die back to back from playing roller coaster tycoon 3, been on ATI/AMD ever since.
Didn't think something like that could ever happen again, let alone with their top end 3090; that's an expensive joke.

Again this is EVGA's problem with their card. I have a Geforce 3080 and it's fine.

Seems specific to EVGA as it's a card defect and not a game defect.

If it's only EVGA 3090's bricking then it sounds like an EVGA design issue.
Also that tweet about people "putting their life savings into a $2000 card." Those people are idiots. And that tweeter is an idiot.

That's the dumbest shit I've read today. No game should be able to brick a GPU no matter what it tries to do. And devs can't test every single hardware combination on the planet. This is 100% on the GPU manufacturer, their card shouldn't behave like this.

the only good thing about this (if you can even call it that) is EVGA has amazing customer service. I've had to replace a card before and it was no hassle no issues and an easy process. not going to lie though i have a 3080 FE and makes me scared to play haha.

Doesn't seem to be only EVGA 3090's. There's at least one Gigabyte 3090 that bricked in the Reddit thread linked in the OP
