EVGA Confirms That A Bad PCB Soldering Design Led to Some Gamer's RTX 3090 Graphics Card Dying

Due to a Bad PCB Soldering Design, Some Gamer's RTX 3090 graphics cards died after playing Amazon's new MMO, New World, for just a few minutes!

How do I know if my card is from a bad batch?

Soooo the "expert" Igorslab was wrong with his [super exclusive] and [highly professional] measurements and predictions? Oooops.

I played 30 hours on my STRIX 3090 even with people screaming at me not to. No problems what so ever.

I normally buy EVGA but opted to go w/ Asus for my 3090, so far things have been good after 6 months of use. EVGA has always had good RMA warranty service but w/ shortages that might void that long track record.

@WccftechTV Why are you soliciting emotional responses to a hypothetical event? Please, save the moral outrage for Gigabyte's actions concerning their known bad power supplies.

Why did it reportedly happen on more than EVGA cards though?

[stephenmellor]

Between this and the psu's id give evga a wide berth

A total 24 cards had the Issue, And EVGA RMA replaced the cards 2 days into the issue. Know your role Slappy! Props to EVGA for replacing the cards before they knew what the Issue was or if it was the cards fault or the game. Other brands would have researched the issue for a week or 2 before even sending the replacement request up to management. ( dude is crying over 24 cards that were were replaced no questions asked)

I will never buy evga again, my old card failed a few days after warranty. Bad quality, nothing less.

Dude, you need sleep or some CeraVe eye cream. Liked for the algorithm.
