According to the players, New World continues to burn video cards. Amazon’s highly anticipated New World achieved significant success on its day of release, reaching 600,000 simultaneous players.
But a bug that caused New World to “cook” its graphics cards– it seems to have not yet been resolved after the beta process. The problem was due to the fact that 3090 graphics cards were on their own due to the game removing the FPS limit while it was on the main menu of the game.
New World can’t get enough of burning video cards
One of the undoubtedly most important promises of New World, which started with the slogan “Next generation MMO”, is high graphics quality. But there seem to be problems with the optimization of the game. While the game was in beta, New World burned nearly 30 EVGA Geforce RTX 3090s, and the company exchanged cards for victims for free. However, according to the players, the same problem is happening on Gigabyte’s cards this time.
Amazon has added FPS limitation to New World in the full version of the game, but players report crashes caused by graphics cards. According to the blog user Winfuture, the game puts a lot of stress on rtx 3090s in certain parts of the world.
It is also stated that changing the graphics settings peaks the graphics card’s values, since changing the graphics settings pushes the game to “render everything from the beginning”. That’s why even playing with graphics settings can instantly increase video cards to 100%.
