Yup. Was playing GTA5 and everything just went black and the fans went to 100%. Everything was unresponsive. When I rebooted, I got the dreaded "VGA Error" light of doom on my mobo. Everything else works fine and other cards work fine. Am RMA'ing it right now. I was always afraid this might happen when it didn't like certain stress tests early on. Luckily EVGA's RMA process looks to be pretty quick. With some luck I'll have a new one next week.
I've been hearing reports of higher rates of EVGA 3090 failures...even EVGA 3080 cards as well to a lesser degree which worried me a bit since I have one...were you using 3 separate PCIe cables or daisy chaining one or more of them?
3 separate cables off a Corsair HX1000. There are a pair of threads in their forums with people have very similar failure stories to me...although with Halo 3 and an older COD of all games. What's weird is that mine had been running pretty well as of late. It was temperamental when I first installed it, but following a drive format a month later it was basically fine. I chalked up my early issues to software and HZD being a work in progress at the time.
what stress tests were showing issues?...3DMark?...what sort of issues- artifacts? crashes?
Mortal Shell: The Virtuous Cycle | Release Date Trailer
Coming August 18th...
That looks great. Not just an additional level, but a major expansion of the existing game mechanics and enemies. Seems like a great opportunity to start another playthrough. Hopefully the final boss isn't such a slog this time.

I fired it up for the first time in a little while. I remember HDR being wonky when they first added it, and it still is. I find the colors to be especially dull and the various menu screens are washed out. That's been on two different TV's with HDR-specific settings. It looks good without, though. If you're playing on PC, just skip HDR.
does ray-tracing offer any noticeable improvements?

I tried this game on both a VA monitor and IPS IPS was good looking but way too Dark so I played on my VA monitor. It was a good IPS Alienware too. Stopped buying monitors since then because hard to get rid of them. I gave 4 of them to my brothers kids so his kids but unless I sell them for a huge loss on shipping.
I did read that the PC HDR was screwed up and admitted to from replies by the devs back when it was released on pc. Not all HDR screens are the same though. Were you using a HDR 400 one? edge lit or an actual FALD or OLED HDR screen? Just asking. I'm not making excuses for the devs, the HDR is probably still crap on pc.
I'm running some Mortal Shell Twitch streams to claim some exclusive rewards (weapon skins, glimpses etc)...I'm just going to leave them running in the background with the audio muted
How does the new DLC work exactly? I see that you have to unlock the Virtuous Cycle via a conversation...but is that just the roguelike portion of the game or something else? If I just play through the game normally, is the new content normally accessible?
I find DX12 to have lots of stutter. Unsure if it's my system (only other DX12 game I play is Hitman 3 which is fine enough).
