"New World" Beta bricking Graphics Cards

How does this happen?

Ah, here's why & a suggested fix: https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/other/t ... d=msedgntp

In New World, press the Escape key to open the Settings menu.
Click the Visuals tab.
Under Max FPS, cap the FPS at 60.

Players are reporting that capping the FPS is successfully preventing their graphics cards from overheating. It seems that the reason why New Worlds is putting GPUs at risk is because the menus don't have built-in FPS caps like other games do, causing elite graphics cards like the RTX 3090 to render the menus in 9000+ FPS and burn themselves out.

I will run a mile from this game, GPU's are hard to come by nowadays (like a new car).

I saw a Youtube video about this. Comments were speculating that it's a ploy by Amazon to sell more graphics cards.

There's no excuse for a graphics card that expensive to be able to do this to itself in the first place.

It's not like the cheaper options are self-destructing.

Its Amazon. I am not sure why anyone thinks this will be anything but a sh*t show.
Amazon fire HD comes out. Amazon get into the market with a joy pad and a generic fps. It is not well thought of. It vanishes never to be seen nor heard of again.
World tour. Yeah an amazing tie in with the series. Available on ps4 and xbox 1. A total failure with some saying it is a joke. What happens? Withdrawn and not mentioned nor heard of again.
Amazon put out a 4 v 4 pvp. By all accounts it is a pile of trash. I have it, play it once and find it forgettable. It is deleted from sale. They promise it will be back... 2 years later no sign of it...

Now they have an MMO out...hmmm. Well once it gets out of alpha
