As early as July this year, many EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 users encountered the strange situation of graphics card damage when experiencing the MMO game Amazon "New World". Some unlucky users even made the EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 "permanently damaged" within just a few minutes after the game started. Early after-sales investigations showed that the problem may be due to the poor function of the PWM fan controller, and Amazon also took the initiative to patch the game to limit the frame rate limit.
Now, EVGA has finally found the main reason for the damage to its GeForce RTX 3090 graphics card. It can be seen that it is related to the defects in the design of PCB, or may cause the graphics card to die under specific conditions. Meanwhile, the company claims less than 1% of the batches were affected.
During a recent interview with PC World’s Gordon Mah Ung, it reported that the issue occurred on the first batch of EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 graphics cards produced in 2020.
All graphics card batches produced before 2021 have poor PCB welding designs around the circuits. If a MOSFET is blown up, the entire card may be buried with you. If the fan controller is also bad, the consequences will be even worse.
WCCFTech pointed out that it took EVGA almost 2 months to figure this out. Affected by the lack of quality control, the company failed to block the design defect in 2020 and eventually allowed unqualified products to flow into the retail market.
However, what the company failed to explain is why it failed to realize this problem when it changed the new batch design in 2021. It was not until Amazon's "New World" game was launched for testing, which made it well known?
