It seems like the app is drawing itself at whatever resolution it gets set to in menu, and using Windows' UI scaling to resize that 4K render window down to fit on your monitor. That would explain why the Afterburner overlay resizes too. Also, the GPU is doing double duty to over-render the window, and then scale it down using non-driver-based scaling.
Honestly sounds like it's just super-sampling, trivial to do; just render scene at higher resolution and sample that down to desired resolution and display to user. That is effectively what DLSS does except without the whole deep-learning bit to prevent you from requiring the full 2x/4x required resolution.
DSR does that, which is why he made a point of showing that DSR was forced off in the control panel. SSAA will render portions of the scene at higher resolutions then scale it down, patching those portions into the rest of the scene that was rendered natively. DLSS does the exact opposite, it renders the scene at a lower resolution then scales it up to what you choose using machine learning. Most games communicate with the gfx card, which has already communicated with the monitor, and only display resolutions accordingly, with higher than native resolutions marked as DSR if available and enabled. The game is either missing that bit of code that does that, or it's somehow overriding the nvidia control panel, which isnt supposed to happen.
@@Justin-ee3im how does app indicate lesser knowledge? It's just easier to say and type and less confusing (application and program have other meanings)
@Jabba The Hutt I have a Dell S3220DGF monitor that is 165Hz 1440p natively, but it accepts a 2160p (4K) signal and auto-scales it to display as 1440p. It does this so that game consoles such as PS4 (which may not support 1440p resolution) can connect to this monitor and work as if it was a 4K monitor. I suspect that Jayz's Corsair monitor may have a similar feature.
When they started to release 'self overclocking' cards and drivers I remember thinking it was a matter of time before this situation would arrive. Took longer than I expected though. No safety margins anymore, now you have to underclock to get stability. Still not letting off the devs or hardware, end users should not have to be engineers.
We're not engineering anything clown, at most troubleshooting. Which every consumer has to be eventually cause nothing is going to last forever. Idiotic statement you made
Rather than respond to your insult in kind I'll just ignore you after this response. TLDR: it is unreasonable for end users to have to know about power delivery, watts or load spikes to ensure their hardware does not die at the home screen of a game. Software and hardware engineers are responsible for making this kind of stuff work out of the box. They have all the information end users do not have access to, to ensure their goods work properly in the field. Through negligence they have pushed that responsibility to the end users. Software Engineer: "I wrote a game that can cause your gpu to draw more power than it is capable of using without damage just at the home screen" Hardware Engineer: "we created a gpu that can destroy itself when the razor thin safety margins are exceeded and put very few measures in place to prevent damage" End User: "I just wanted to play a game" If my car overheats while idling in the driveway I am a 'troubleshooter' to the extent of telling the mechanic that "it overheats when idle". It is not my job to figure out the problem is a faulty coolant pump, because then I become the mechanic at that point. Replace mechanic with engineer, car with gpu, and coolant pump with power delivery and here we are.
My 3060 at stock settings will run itself up to 85°c and run the fan at 100% unless I lower the power limit to 70% lmao. I lose a tiny bit performance for a pretty substantial drop in power usage

Can you do a video of a “general computer maintenance” specifically software. You taught me how to build a PC a few years ago, but I feel like there’s things I should do for upkeep. Updating bios etc, it’d be great to have a tutorial on everything to do!
1. Windows or no antivirus at all (firrwall is a must have anyway) 2. Don't chase newest drivers without a GOOD reason 3. Control your temperatures and prevent power limits using Throttlestop and MSI Afterburner 4. Use frametime lock equivalent to fps just below tour monitor's refresh rate (for 60 hz 16.960ms works best)
The best PC maintenance is "if it ain't broke don't fix it". Definitely don't update your BIOS unless you actually have a reason to (fixing a bug, adding compatibility when you're upgrading your CPU, etc). If it's currently working for you there's no reason to change it.
In his video you did see it spiking up even when in the game, so I don't think it matters too much if it's menu or game, it's the same stress it seems.
I have a 2070super. It revs high in the menu and once I get in game it levels out. I'll have to pull up some monitoring software while I play today and see what's up.
@@Enders1315 I have a 2080 super. I’ve had zero issues until I bought my house in game and tried to decorate it. Apparently that maxed out my gpu for some reason.
If people are stuck in a queue then they need to pick a different server to play on. I have played the game for 12 or 14 hours or so (sorry I work 12 hours a day 7 days a week) and I have never seen a queue line yet.
Considering my OC 8600k is maxed out usage on medium settings... yea, this really wouldnt surprise me. but then again I have "old" CPU by todays standards.
Jay, DSR is driver-level trickery to enable something that any game can implement if it chooses, except when a game does it, it can do a better job. If the internal rendering resolution for the 3D scene is higher than the native display resolution of the panel, you can actually get some really nice anti-aliasing. If this is being done at the driver level, it gets applied to the entire screen. However, if it's done by the game, then UI/HUD elements can be rendered separately, which removes the weirdness that can be caused by over-rendering the UI/HUD and then using a downscaling filter to get it to fit on the screen. It looks to me like the game might just be doing what DSR does, but internally, instead of at a driver level.
Jay, record the max watt on the card and you can see the max wall you spike, if a 3 sec refresh is 115 for 3 seconds, the top is probably 130 at least...
I took your recommendations during the beta test with my 3090 on a 4k monitor. I set my power limit at 82% and undid all my overclocks. The power still spikes up to 110% every now and then, but sits stably around 92-95% most of the time. I get around 80 FPS in game with these settings. Before changing the power limit from where I had it at 104% and with my old overclock I was seeing spikes as high as 135%.
@@_Scythe1 Yep, That spike was on the menu screen. I would usually see a max spike of around 120% in game. That was with my overclock settings though and power limit set at 104%.
I like how correct that probably is when looked at from a programming point of view, I wouldn't be surprised if it looked something like "windowmode = (bordered(borderless(fullscreen(windowed)))))" I don't know much about programming so this is probably still incorrect but I hope you get what I'm saying xD
Hey Jay, if the 3090 FTW3 is a 375W, 107% is a total of 401W, which is what it was doing more or less. I think the problem is that whenever you use the slider on MSI afterburner, the Watts matched whatever you were inputing, 90% is 337W for example, which is the total power that it was being monitored, but the percentage seems completely broken.
well, there is also the issue that, why is it pulling 400w on the menu? probably means its pulling way more power than it should at any given time in the game
You know, with every modern card I've had, I used afterburner to give a small negative voltage bias and limited the temperature to 60c. You're seeing that behavior because the power % slider doesn't really do much, but the linked temperature slider does. Every card I've seen favors reaching the temp limit instead of respecting the power limit.
It is easier to predict temperature. Just monitor the power draw. It takes time for the increased power to heat the system. So you have more room to compensate. The heat can be controlled preemptively. But power draw cannot really be predicted. So managing it is limited to being reactionary.
@@owenbar5055 They usually ignore power limits anyway and spike around as needed. But yeah it's something to try. I just unlink and leave max temp at 60c.
@@pascaldifolco4611 it's not really new world's fault. Yes they left gpu spikes in, but a lot of other games do too. Nvidia didn't give 3rd party manufacturers enough time to really test the power draw these GPU's can have and how they spike. Evga and others should know by now and newer revisions hopefully will handle spikes and power draw better.
You could try to run Unreal5 Demo AncientWorld and bring the console command (~ key) and put t.maxfps 144 (by default it's 60) and after r.screenpercentage 300 to run it a 8k (150 if you want 4k) on your 1440p monitor and look if your EVGA card burst into flame!
@@samgoff5289 Wow talk about capping, person can't even comment they laughed about something? If those other people were the likes of you I wouldn't be surprised if they don't talk to them.
It could always be the way MSI afterburner is interacting with the evga card. We always kinda assume it just works with everything, but maybe that specific card doesnt properly interact with MSI afterburner? It might be worth it to test it with the evga utility you mentioned, just as a check. Of course the evga card also was having kinda weird behaviour when msi afterburned was on stock settings, but you never know.
It might be interesting to hook an oscilloscope across the power rails. I wonder if the EVGA card in particular has a power control law design problem.
Yeah there are literally some nicely priced scopes that could be used for that in a video. But like others said, sadly going into that kind of detail isn't within the scope of a pc building youtuber (see what I did there lol).

I'd like to see some tests using hardware watt-meters like p3 (or what the UPS shows) with a 2nd PSU connected just to the video card. This will help align what the software is showing to what the card is actually pulling from the wall.
that will only show you the difference at the wall which comes down to PSU efficiency. however they do have inline power readers for PCI connectors(PCAT) they can test draw with at the cables for whatever card is plugged in. i think that would be more what you're after. it also close enough to use current meter(clamp style not inline) on the cables and regular multimeter for voltage and do the math for watts. -75W for the pci bus
you cannot power the card with a separate source from the pcie slot its drawing power from. meaning youd have to power the mobo and gpu from the same psu unless you use a powered riser which would limit the cards performance due to the reduced number of pcie lanes available with such risers.
I can confirm that my PC with 3080Ti FTW3 is creeping right up on 600W draw from my UPS power monitor before I turned down the power limit on the card. I have never had a game cause my UPS to freak out over power draw before this, but it throws constant warnings if I don't turn it down.
Tbh I think its high time Puget Systems gets a blog going on this. If you're going to look for actual science on the matter, and not user-experiance focused content, then turn to the actual science guys over there to give us a true breakdown of what is happening to the hardware.
This is all a test for the next VR generation, to see if they can fry our brains while we game. On some other note, imagine getting your hands on a 3090 in this day and age and having a game fry it.
I'm sitting here with my Sapphire 5700xt Nitro+ because no one wanted them because of early driver bugs (it's pretty great now) Deffinitly going to be avoiding this game cause I don't wanna risk it, seriously, they deffinitly didn't do enough (if any) testing or optimizing before launch. Deffinitly makes a good case to wait a few months or even more than a year before picking up new games, the serious lack of effort to *finish* a game before launch is getting ridiculous
Same, Precision is shit, but I'm wondering if Afterburner isn't able to handle / interpret EVGA's implementation of power scaling, or maybe MSI themselves began doing something different (doubtful, as the EVGA cards higher tendency to self-suicide is independent of any OC software).
I use Precision and when I lower the power target down to 80 it will actually put it down to 80 and not let it go over. I keep it open on my second monitor and watch it as I play New World and it only jumps to 81 every so often. Also if I lower the power on Precision the GPU usage goes down from 95-100 to a normal number around 80 or a little lower and GPU temp goes down too.
@@SlothJohnson Odd that, when I use Precision and limit power to 73% or something, I often see it sit around 75 and bounce up to 83. Really don't like this software, but having 10 profiles is handy.
@@ELBoomerTV not gonna lie, the way the power behavior acts with pulling the TDP down on the EVGA card is something very reminesint in the mining community.

Hey Jayz, I'm getting rather different results setting the PL at 90 on MSI Afterburner vs the X1 Precision. Precision seems to be doing more than MSI> Not sure what is happening here
I reckon this confirms my thoughts on the firmware power management... the firmware polls the shunts on the card on a regular interval and manages load not by reducing input, but by throttling the GPU internally. If poll rate is too slow, it will fail to detect the peaks that occur as spikes. The overshoot is either bad firmware, slow polling, inaccurate power monitoring, or a combination of all 3.
The reason why the power draw on the EVGA cards may be inaccurate could be based on how they measure the cards power for their own reference board. When I use EVGA's precision X1 software it never goes past the power target I set it to. With afterburner it seems to be inaccurate.
It also happen on Gigabyte cards, it's basically happening to every card with a 400-500W bios, it's not about precision software. A GPU should't explode for an OC software anyway, there are protection measures in place at the hardware level, those are clearly failing on 3090/3080
If I was in a scenario where the power delivery of my GPU potentially was underspecced to a level where a load of a game such as New World could make it 'popp', then I would want to play the game to see if it actually does 'popp'. Even if it's just a small batch or whatever of faulty cards, I would want to run my card to ensure that I don't have one of those bad batches. I'd rather have the card fail while it's still under warranty, rather than have it explode a year or so after the warranty has run out.
@@emiliskog I have a hard time to believe that warranty issues wouldn't get queue priority though. Anything else would severely hurt the customer-brand trust.
That's such a bullshit statement anyways. Real mining cards are undervolted to ensure ideal power to power draw ratio. The rigs usually offer good cooling too. Meanwhile my gaming card is pushed to it's limits for the last 3 years every day starved from fresh air in my sleek looking case.
I'm miner and gamer at the same time, and I definitely take better care of my mining cards than one that I'm gaming on. But there is one contributing factor, in eu MSI has warranty stickers and they're valid unfortunately. But I'm changing pads and paste every 6 months in mining cards to ensure longevity.
Tested this last night on my 3080Ti FE. with everything at stock, the power limit never went more than 105%, averaged about 85%. When I maxed out the power limit slider (114%), I saw it spike up to 122% once.. I'll leave the power limit slider at stock just to be safe.
I made a reddit post on this , and everyone made fun of me and said “you clearly dont understand anything about graphic cards” Sometimes you gotta let people fall
This video is a reminder to those whom love to think, "That'll never happen to me. Pff!" Life will tend to creep up and surprise you. Spoiler, it's rarely the good kind of surprise.
Ok...so while running the game, the card is allowing it's own power draw to go well above what it is designed for. How is that the fault of the game exactly?! Seems to me that the cards software and bios should be limiting that and it isn't. Video games don't limit the power draw. The hardware does.
the game is still coded weirdly pushing the power limit well above its limit, but i do agree that the power limiting on the cards themselves should be better
@@aussieguy1593 but the point is it shouldn't be able to do this due to a hardware limiter which apparently isn't doing its job which is why the gpu manga of these particular cards...are replacing them free of charge as it's Their fault this is happening.
As a former QA engineer yourself you should have tried the EVGA tool when you noticed Afterburner settings working sort of as expected with the MSI card just as a sanity check. I guess that the problem is on how those tools interact with the firmware of the card so setting it to 90% on software, for some reason, might not be 90% at a firmware level.
@@jvmbatista Yes lots of assumptions are always made, even on these type of videos (not saying that these videos are bad, still informative). it's really not clear what is going on.
The borderless thing happens because you guys have custom resolutions and got a new driver but forgot to reactivate "Enable resolutions not exposed by the display" that is what was happening to me in multiple games before I found out.
Interesting how the stability differs from the EVGA to MSI. Only thing I got to wondering while watching this is, what if MSi Afterburner is what is causing the inconsistency with the EVGA card? I have an EVGA card, I don't like using EVGA's software either, but have you tried EVGA's precision Overdrive software with the EVGA card for tests to see if it has the same inconsistency? I mean, I know it shouldn't really matter, but maybe the OC software between MSI and EVGA has their own way of "efficiently" communicating with the card? Idk? As much as we have seen software's influence on how the hardware behaves, it's just a thought. I honestly think there would not be any difference between using one OC software over the other, but who knows?
I'm curious whether or not the spikes being seen on the GPU's power monitors are actually telling the full story, or whether we're just getting averages/point in time numbers and seeing much higher spikes that are in excess of the numbers being displayed. I imagine that'd need far more sophisticated test equipment to determine.
I feel like a pet dog whilst watching Jay's videos. I don't have the technical knowledge to know what he's talking about and go off his facial expressions and tone of voice to know when something is good and bad.
Jay doesn't have much technical knowledge either. He usually has a rough idea about what he's talking about but especially when talking about electronics he often doesn't seem to understand what is causing what and why. I mostly watch him for food entertainment and less for technical explanations.
Jay, the 107% in after burner might actually be 120% of the reference power limit. The percentage scale on the game may be pulling its numbers from the driver and not the card/game.
@@memoryboy It was probably meant by EVGA as free fps and looks good in reviews but it literally backfired. In normal condition such behavior from card is rather desirable as clocks will be more stable.

If you have this issue with "borderless border window" when the settings say fullscreen, change to window-mode AND change your resolution. Then change back to fullscreen and set your correct resolution. This fixes the weird bordered borderless fullscreen bullshit.
@@voodoobluetaco But you lose performance for that. They are simulating a "fullscreen". But when you select "fullscreen" what you really get is the "borderless window", which will share more resources with OS and will lose performance inside the game. If you have low specs this a huge issue.
Just tested afterburner out on my Asus 2080, and it has the same radical power usage behavior, not in the menu, but in the game. I set the power limit 100% and it spikes up into 106-107% and down to 90%. Going to have it on 90% going forward just to be on the safe side. Thanks for the tip Jay.
I have also an Asus 2080, its a super but after 1 year of mining with nicehash, I played more than 50 hours of New world with no issues at 1440p resolution. I do not have any overclocking software installed, like afterburner. Might be actually some bad manufacturer design.
@@Mujake92 Bought my 2080 back in 2018, and it has been a really stable card all this time. With that, and that after testing with afterburner in other games where it has proven to stable with small fluctuations, I do not suspect any bad manufacturing design on Asus-es part, just horrible coding by Amazons development Team.
@@Kixolisjous No matter how much coding is required or processing power the fact that the device will run by itself over 100% safe spot meas there might be some driver/HW issues. Cyberpunk was demanding also a lot of processing power and was badly optimised. In the end probably the game revealed some issues that were present and only in certain situations would of been exposed. The fact that most of the people that were reporting problems were already using afterburner or some other overclocking software might also be something there. This is just my opinion, as i said, my card ran the whole year in NiceHash at High overclock setting profile and I did not get errors in beta or now or in any other game. But also I do not have overclock software or did anything to the cards bios.
I was going to say that. Some 1440p monitors support 4K for using with a console such as PS4/PS5 where you can either choose output at 1080p or 4K, no 1440p. It usually only works via HDMI though.
That's not 4k. That's a 1440p image stretched up to 4k, aka upscaling. So no, it doesn't actually support 4k resolution. Imagine trying to insult somebody and being so clueless you make yourself look ridiculous.
The way they are emulating DSR in game (in software) is the issue. Doing a blit/copy of a large amount of data, the background frame buffer to the screen buffer, on every frame is going to work the memory controller and VRAM really really hard but leave most of the GPU idle during that time. This is the same even at native resolution. Normally you would just let the DSR _hardware_ handle the down scaling and emulating it in software is obviously the wrong way. But this is where you get higher than max power draw even though the GPU usage is only at about 70-75%. The GPU renders the frame to the background buffer, then most of the GPU goes idle while it blits/copies the background buffer to the next available screen buffer but the memory controller and VRAM light up in power usage during that time. Even at native resolution this is the wrong way. So the memory controller on the GPU is drawing a lot more power _and_ the VRAM is also drawing more power. Since the VRAM chips are accessed sequentially like raid 0 they will all be hit by the blit... In theory, this all makes sense...
@@GucciGoblins Basically, only real difference is whether it happens on driver level or game engine level, but the idea is indeed the same. Engine level has the advantage that the HUD can be scaled and rendered separately after the game so you won't end up with tiny text on the HUD. So can't really blame new world for doing it better in that sense. Reason why they default to 4k on a lower resolution screen with a beefy GPU is likely since it also gives the best possible AA.
@@Megalomaniakaal Yep, on RPCS3 I have resolution scale set beyond the native resolution. Exactly because it smooths out the image, even if the particular game doesn't support anti-aliasing
Yes but it's very weird there isn't an option to choose output resolution. Game is locked in to whatever res it believes your monitor is in, and if that's wrong for whatever reason, you can't change
The resolution thing is interesting. I like that they went with a borderless window because Windows is weird and a real fullscreen app has limitations, but having done that, I think what's happening with the resolution is that the Windows desktop window manager or the rendering pipeline is downscaling the window to the desktop resolution. I bet if you set it to a lower resolution, it would upscale. The size of a window is in a unit that's not pixels, so they are most likely setting the window to the desktop resolution to avoid doing math or asking the DWM to resize the desktop, and then the 3D rendering surface is being stretched to the size of the container - which means up or down depending on the configured resolutions. If you went to 1080p but had a 4K desktop resolution (which is reasonable - lots of people, myself included, have GPUs that will do 4K on the desktop, some games, and normal productivity applications, but could never run this game at 4K), I would expect all the text to be super blurry. Or maybe they worked around that by using the FidelityFX algorithm (which is open source and can be implemented on NVIDIA cards).
After playing for a couple of days since launch, I watched your video about New World still causing issues. Since I've already received a RMA 3090 Hybrid due to a prior incident with FiveM, I did some investigating. I enabled Geforce Experience overlay to see where things were at. With my card on default settings through Precision X1, I observed New World pulling 390-420 Watts. I then went into X1 and adjusted my power slider to 85% max. I then opened the game and observed the game to be running 325-350 Watts max, and it gave me better frame rate averages. Default settings was around 70-130 FPS depending on scene. 85% I was seeing 85-175 FPS. These were all tested in 1440p.
This is called super sampling. Normally this is under a different setting, named "render resolution". I was unable to get what JayzTwoCents got for 4K, on AMD RX 6900 xt in New World or anything higher than my monitor's resolution. Same thing on my GTX 1080ti as my secondary card.
@@breakbend7707 because a 4k should not exist under the settings unless you have a 4k monitor same for me by default...4k was enabled I do not have a 4k this could be a major issue that's causing crashes
This game runs like trash at 4K and 4K is the default option enabled on install regardless of monitor. The fullscreen windowed mode also means that v-sync, g-sync, and free-sync isn't going to work properly. (Edit): New World also doesn't let you select your monitor either, so if you have a separate gaming monitor you have to swap it using hotkeys. The way it deals with displays is completely broken.
Just to point out, in games there are two resolutions. The screen resolution and the Render Target/Back Buffer, these two things aren't coupled and so the size which is presented to the screen can be any size you want. So seeing 4K in the resolution drop-down isn't such a major issue, since it'll just be creating a 4k render target and presenting it to the 1440p screen, it's not a driver or graphics card issue. It's simply a graphics capability detection problem. Not really that bad and expected for launch month, especially when targeting PC platforms.
I swear that game feels like most of the devs were hired directly out of ITT Tech and have never worked on a game before. I have a good time playing it, but JFC it's got so many bugs.
Many many many bugs. I've plowed a stupid number of hours into this game. There is a gem of a game hidden in all the faction mechanics, PvP, and crafting/economic systems... Just jeez the bugs.
This is 100% gpu problem. No matter what a game does, the card should not self destruct. Same with CPUs, no matter what the software does, they cannot self destruct.

Jay. just curious - have you tried running the same tests with EVGA Precision? Could there be some weirdness between Afterburner and the EVGA card? Highly unlikely, but just a thought from a former software QA guy...
That is a significant problem with this video. If he wants to blame new world he needs to setup a control with another game to see if the same behavior occurs. Is it new world that won't limit the power or is it Afterburner controlling an EVGA card with unknow bios. this is just sensationalism.
@@krk4201 So is ignoring that EVGA said it was bad solder and the way the cards were being loaded that killed a batch of their cards and the fact that Afterburner was able to recognize the EVGA card down to the specific model and what limits it has, which come from the BIOS on the card, to say the test was completely invalid. _Especially_ when Jay put the card through his XOC stuff. Would it have been more thorough? Yeah. You also don't know what everyone else who's had EVGA _and Gigabyte_ cards blow up was using.
@@RealRaynedance EVGA cards didnt stop blowing up as Jayz said, it was just a shift in media focus since apparently other brands suffers too. This is not Amazons fault, and its technically not the AIBs fault either even tho they should be held responsible for safety protocols failing... This problem goes deeper, it traces back to Nvidia and the power spec sheet. If the design is not fundamentally changed in the 4000 series you'll start seeing even more cards blowing up unless the AIBs goes all-in with power delivery.
I’d still argue it isn’t the game. Everything the game can tell the graphics card to do has to go through 1st the graphics library API (e.g. DirectX), 2nd the graphics card driver, and 3rd the graphics card’s BIOS/firmware and firmware-controlled communication chips. It’s a hardware problem, sure, but the software side of it is the firmware and/or driver’s fault.
Imagine if you could just make a game (or any program that uses the GPU) that could just make it blow up. That just doesn't fly, it's 100% a hardware and driver issue.
It’s important to understand that I really hate Amazon and Jeff Bezos with an eternal passion, and I’d be happy to blame Amazon if they were at fault. The problem is that that premise makes no F-ing sense. Seriously, has nobody studied the rate of 3090s dying when doing deep learning neural network stuff 24/7?
I would like you to see if the EVGA X1 does the same overshoot of the power draw. I would like to know if it the software of the program causing the instability?
when i couldnt find the 3090 ftw3 but got a gaming trio instead last holiday season i was upset. hearing jay call it rock solid really warmed my heart XD
So I just had the black screen happen on my ASUS Strix 1080TI, and I’ve been having intermittent crashing on the game client as well. I locked my fps to 60 via Nvidia control panel, and I have adjusted fan curves to be more aggressive for temperature control. It is running the game at medium settings 1440p, but despite only reaching around only 75 Celsius, it crashed to a black screen. This is very clearly not a temperature issue, but a power draw issue, the game is tripping some sort of fail safe within GPUs to stop them from dying. I’m sure this video goes deeper down the rabbit hole than I have, but I have played everything from Escape From Tarkov (very intensive game and poorly optimized) to MMO games like WoW. In my 4 years of owning the card now this has never happened, and it is concerning that Amazon is taking so long to provide a concrete fix to this issue. Edit : Just to note, prior to the adjustments I have made, the game was pummeling my GPU and causing it to reach temperatures that made me very uncomfortable playing. This is why I even went down the rabbit hole to begin with.
It isn't the fault of New World. It is the fault of the card, bios, and/or driver. Games, Blender, Crypto mining, whatever, present a load. They do not manage power usage. It is up to to the card, bios, and driver to keep power usage in check. Power limiters were created to protect from workloads that draw more power at same clockspeed, so if card is drawing more, the power limiter is broken. New World is affected by some sort of major flaw in the cards, and/or drivers, but it isn't their fault.
My Asus strix 3080 ti runs very cool playing new world. Doesn't seem to stress the gou all that much. I have had the black screen which eventually crashed the game but due to the GPU stats I was looking at I was concluding it was the game itself crashing from the chaos going on in game and not an issue with the GPU itself. Fwiw I have my card running stock settings. FPS cap in game at 60 and capped at 144 in Nvidia control panel.
i have the exact same card as you for just as long now and have also had zero issues i used to run 5-6 instances of ld player 24/7 and havnt had any issues i did cap my fps in beta at 60 fps just because i didnt feel the need to max out my card but iv had zero crashes since launch of new world so far and im sitting at about 80 hours so far
It's not an issue, that's the standard and is by design. Fullscreen has become Borderless since a few years ago, since Windows had an update which made them basically the same.
@@dyent This is not the norm, borderless and exclusive fullscreen are more or less the same performance wise in Windows 10/11. But it sucks that there are games out there which perform much worse for some reason.
@@Mycrosss how is that "standard"? By which design? Microsoft trying to force something on users doesn't become standard all of a sudden, just as many other dubious or hostile to user changes introduced by that company. Haven't updated my system in a while, and can't find information about update that makes borderless and exclusive fullscreen "basically same". A source of that would be appreciated
Does the same thing happen with EVGA’s precision? Just curious since the MSI card had less issues with the power slider in their own software. I noticed that afterburner isn’t reporting my memory oc on my 3070 ti FE card as well.
i myself had to uninstall afterburner cuz of weird bugs, my 3080 ftw hybrid would be 50*C and suddenly the fans would kick to 100%. made no sense lool.
@@Hafizul12 Thats weird, Ive never had any issues with afterburner, but Ive had several issues with precision x...I wish EVGA would make it work right because I actually like it better when it does work...
@@brucepreston3927 yea my thoughts exactly, i expected precision x to give me that type of error, i dont have any issues with afterburner on my siblings 3070, just on my 3080 lol.
@@Hafizul12 I'm running an EVGA 2080ti ftw3 and when I use precision x sometimes it will say that Im drawing 1000w and it bugs out the ICX memory temp sensors...I can also get about 30mhz higher overclock using afterburner also...Its really strange but I guess I'll just stick with afterburner until I buy a new card...
The peak power draw is probably even higher than MSI reports. By up to 50%. It looks very much like a power line resonance. But that'd be only a theory. As for a mass on a spring, the higher the mass the lower the resonance frequency. Here we have a humongous current to draw, but fairly weak power lines. What New World does is it's constantly switching graphics context in order to draw it on screen: it first draws the scene which brings GPU to performance mode, but then it switches to window context (that being the Windows UI) and just copies the image over it. Since the last one is a fairly simple operation GPU drops the power state to low(er). That cycle repeats every frame, switching back and forth from high current to low current. That causes resonance. In most cases that wouldn't be a problem, but this is not a typical case, we're dealing with a small room heater class GPU. For a low power card that resonance frequency is fairly high and the GPU is set up such that it will never get close to that frequency by switching power states. But for 3090 with a giant number of coils and capacitors (considering f_r=1/LC) it looks like that resonance frequency is in the vicinity of 200 Hz. Maybe lower. Why's that? I've seen a case when some streamer REDUCED graphics settings so his FPS shot to 200s and the card instantly popped. Because the power lines resonated. Why don't other games fry those cards then? Because they don't force the power state by changing drawing context. How to resolve it if that's the case: manually lock power state to P0. Program called nVidiaInspector can do that. It requires a reboot and it makes the GPU run hot on idle, so... it's a temporary solution. Again, it's only my guess, but I'm fairly certain it might be true.
As an Evga 3090 FTW3 Ultra user here (luckily mine is a black lips version), I was wondering if you had tried the same test for the card but using Precision X1 instead of Afterburner as I was wondering if maybe Evga’s own software had tighter control over their card than say Afterburner did. Once again though another great video.
I wonder the same thing. Stuck on a 970 SC and without X1 I can't make the fan profile activate. MSI afterburner doesn't even touch the fans with it's control, so wondering if it's just some hardware ID that the bios isn't handling.
@@chemmerling I had the same issue on higher versions of X1 on my 1080 FTW 8gb, i had to install the 1.0.6 version of X1, and it seems pretty stable. LED sync is put into a different folder in the x86 folder and can be fixed (turned on) that way. Profiles are saving and not crashing.
Does the EVGA card behave the same with the power limit through EVGA's tool and/or through the driver level changes you can make in the Geforce Experience overlay?
I was about to ask if precision X 1 would let him control the power limit more effectively on the evga card since its meant for it over afterburner. My X1 allows 128% and always has pulled close to 128% and stays at 80% when I move the slider to 80% with precision x1 on my evga 1080. But also my card is a few generations older so who knows if they changed how it all works.
@@MrDeathstab No precision X1 works the same, the problem is it's a software working trough Windows, so it can have some millisecond of delay wich is enough to fry a GPU pulling 400W. The problem is the 3090 itself, a GPU shouldn't draw this much power
yeah 100% still the fault of the hardware as it CANT run at the specs it advertised. Due to mistakes, lack of quality control or what not does not matter as software cannot brick stuff that is working as intended. If I make a car engine and say that it can handle this amount of pressure then I cant blame anyone when it blows up because someone took it to that pressure limit.
@@HMan2828 It is not the overclock here, this is most likely related to DirectX and instructions, the software is putting more load on the cards than many benchmarks designed to roast the hardware (but in a proper and controlled way). Something is very very wrong with the code. This is still a minor issue considering how many people play the game, but i am affected and i had to gimp my 3090 pretty hard to keep it stable. At least it is possible to control that on the user end, but the user should NEVER be expected to optimize advanced settings such as powertarget in such cases. Specially because this stuff is not even visible to the average gamer by default, you have to dig around to see what's going on.
Hey Jay, I have the EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra and I've flashed the 450w XOC BIOS onto it. Whenever I set the power limit to 118% (450w), it doesn't really seem to listen to that setting. If I hit it with a heavy load and it power throttles, it'll throttle down to about the 350-380w range. If I run a lighter load and manage to get it to power throttle, it'll typically throttle between 400-420w, but 450w is extremely hard to reach. I believe it could be current limiting, rather than power limiting. For example, at extremely heavy loads, it'll run a lower "power state" to get back within spec, but that really just means it's running a lower voltage point on the V/F curve. Power=volts*amps, so at lower voltage points, 450w is a lot more current than at higher voltage points. For example, when I run a heavy load and only manage to pull 350w at 850mV, that's about 411A current. If I run a lighter load that doesn't throttle to such a low voltage point, I may pull 420w at 1050mV, which would only be around 400A current. All this to say, this is the only card I've ever used that doesn't always listen to the power limiter and reports power throttling even when it's far below the setting.
I'm very curious to see if this power overdraw happens when you adjust the power % target using nvidia's own tool as well as any gpu management software EVGA has Afterburner has compatibility options for third party cards which could cause problems with power% targets
Don't make sense there as it the game's fault causing that mess in the first place if you test every other games and the power draw stay the same way before new world then it working as intended but when testing new world and the card shit itself yeah it like furmark all over again
wouldn't make a difference, this is a bios level issue with the evga cards. while most cards try to hit an average power usage for a certain interval evga's cards from what i can tell are reversed where it'll throw as much power as it needs to hold a specific clock speed until a temperature target is hit forcing it to lower the clock speeds.
@@sirmonkey1985 Jeez I'm guessing someone going to crack open the new world to find out what hiding in the codes. I don't think it a bios related problem as jay reflashed it a few times
i like how the shadow ingame is turning on and off during this video, made the outro kinda funny to me after talking about how it's potentially damaging to our higher end cards. 21:28 watch the shadow of the sword magically appear, then vanish, then re appear.
IF YOUR CARD IS EXPLODING OR GETTING SUPER HOT, READ THIS. I had same problem 2 days ago and yesterday. The problem isnt with your gpu, but the bad programming they did. The way to fix it is to down volt your card. Thats literally it - use MSI Afterburner, down volt your card and boom - you get a working game with normal temperatures, stable fps and less fps spikes. I literally have more fps after downvolting my 1070ti to 1800MHz at 0.95V or sth like this and my card is at stable 61Celcius + the fps are never dropping below 60
Hey try changing the graphics settings from pow to very high or to the other settings a few times while you’re in game…. I’ve seen a lot of people including myself have a crash happen when changing the settings while everything loads up
Not sure it would necessarily make a difference, but it may be worth checking out, did you try using the card with EVGAs software? Nothing against Afterburner but maybe it just doesn’t work well with certain hardware.
PrecisionX sucks. Know from experience. No matter what card you have the only application you should use is afterburner. To answer your question, it would not affect the behavior.
I agree, I use PrecX and it may have better control of the EVGA card. But this is all still speculation on Jay's part. When I play games, all of the power/fps/% used all fluctuates. This is not super abnormal.
@@AcedNAonDiscord Well i had a 1070 from asus, i was unable to make afterburner to work with that, had to download asus own shitty program. It sucks but it is what it is.
Jay, I have one question: 16:58 why are the fans of the msi card not moving despite full load? The cooler cannot have that much thermal mass to introduce such a delay, right?
BuildZoid got one gigabyte 3090 "fried by new world", and though he notes that he has just a sample size of one, it seems that the asymetric design of the vrm on the reference board is causing the issue, because on the card he has, the issue seems to be that one of the vcore power stages got blown. He is going to try to fix it. 10 Power stages for 8 phases seems that the controller is having issues balancing the load, because there should be no need to balance that load.
As you know there are other factors here besides the cards going above their spec. If the system build its self doesn't allow for adequate cooling, then things aren't going to go well for the hardware if the brakes are off and the hardware continues to burn up rather than be allowed to regulate its self down. Combine these conditions with marginal components, and this sure is a big factor in failures. I say this as I think about some of the cases out there such as that used in the over-priced Alienware desktops with zero space for the CPU and video card to run coolly inside the case, and run at high-temperatures to begin with. The other issue too is how clean the computers are inside. If there's a build-up of dust, crud, pet hair, and dirt then the components are already at their top end of their temperature range which is now putting them into an already compromised state. With that said, I think your card hasn't failed because there's nothing impeding the airflow around it since it sits out in the open. The problem however is the home-user isn't going to run their system that way. The thing is software should not kill the hardware let alone a computer game, benchmarking and burn-in testing excluded, so there's definitely something amiss here that puts the hardware into this situation in addition to its operating environment.
@@lupintheiii3055 My ASUS RTX 3090 ROG STRIX GAMING OC goes up to 475 Watt in Port Royal with custom highest settings and 1hr loop. It's normal for GA102 cards. What's not normal is the overshoot on the FTW3. I think I know exactly what the cause is: Load spikes that aren't taken into consideration cause unseen by the VBIOS due to too slow polling. Monitoring software polls the sensors itself via the SMBUS through PCIe and can detect it, while the VBIOS with direct access to the sensors for some reason doesn't or is too slow to react to spikes. Would also explain why other cards react differently to them than others. Some poll faster, some don't.
Should try different OC software also to see if Afterburner is creating the anomaly in EVGA cards or any other cards that technically are not spec for Afterburner use
This anomaly is not new and was occurring in other games on stock settings (ie., Halo 2). It had to do with no FPS limitation leading to crazy frames that overload the GPU (hence why this happened with 3090s running old games like Halo 2). However, one thing that I finally noticed lately with my own 3080 and MSI Afterburner is that manually controlling the fans via Afterburner only appeared to affect the middle fan, as the left and right fans were on a different controller. I have since switched to GPU Tweak II since it can control both sets of fans.
@@niks660097 Hence why I brought that up in the past tense. My point is that games have been bricking RTX 30xx cards since they came out. Not sure what this reason is but I'd be suspicious of any game Amazon puts out. You'd probably be quicker at finding the problem via reading terms and conditions for the game somewhere. Amazon is putting lots of money into AI systems so maybe they are using people's GPUs for that. Doubt Amazon would need to be using peoples' GPUs for mining when they have so much money they would make way more from just playing the crypto market, without the risk of getting caught. Also, should check what happens when the game is run without internet connection. Or is it one of those always-online games lol
I would assume the reason 4k shows up as an option is because the game has an inbuilt super resolution feature, allowing you to run at any resolution that will fit your aspect ratio regardless of the resolution of the monitor.
As a sidenote, if you're capable of automating a benchmark suite, it might e interesting to see how different cards respond to different power limits in terms of performance. I know there's some non-linearity in the power/performance response curve, but I think it'd be interesting to see it mapped out some. For example, how much of that non-linearity is the chip itself versus how much is the board design? How much performance is usually lost by dropping a power limit to X% versus how much power gets saved? That kind of thing. I think some people might be interested in finding out if they can save 25% of the power load on the card while maybe seeing a performance drop of only 10-15%. If a card is over-specced enough for the game being played, it might be entirely acceptable to help cut fan noise, reduce heat in the room, and possibly increase the longevity of the card.
Question: is the over draw on power a display error in MSI Afterburner? Or maybe because the it's is doing something incorrectly? Have you tried the EVGA tool? I ask because this is totally weird and may be relevant. Do you see the same behavior using the manufacturer's tools rather than Afterburner? Don't get me wrong, I can see New World obviously has severe coding issues. Just the voltage and wattage going over the setting chosen seems like a software glitch, not necessarily a hardware issue (could be specific to EVGA cards not being treated the same in Afterburner ... non-standard way Afterburner normally polls data from the card/writes settings to card?)
It's a combination of hardware and crap software. Some hardware component is going out of spec while running buggy software. The combination is bad and should be patched properly, it clearly moved from one manufacturer to the other after a software patch :D I have a feeling that manufacturers did not tell the people everything about the cause of the problem too.
@@cruxer666 it's due to how Nvidia created boost algorithm based on power limit, it's limiting average power, so spikes are limited only by silicon and how much power it can pull, and in new world it happens to be more than vrm can provide and transistors blow up.
It drives me nuts when games say "fullscreen" and its actually windowed borderless. Half the time you have to go into the config file to change it back. Having multiple monitors its a PITA when ingame and your cursor decides to migrate to the other window lol. That rev limiter comment was a hell of an analogy ;)
There are many games with a built in function of trapping the cursor, either as an innate function, or toggleable. One of the first games I remember encountering this was Starcraft 2 I believe, having several options for it. Most useful was the "smart" function that locked the cursor while in a game (unless you alt+tabbed or otherwise made the window lose focus), but in the menus it would be free.
@@tsjeriAu Yeah i didnt see an option for that anywhere, usually they have it defaulted like that if in true fullscreen but i am seeing alot of games now go to the "fullscreen exclusive" option that does the same thing. Too bad they dont have that option in NW because it generally performs better and more stable in that mode. Might have to do some digging and try to find the config file at some point and see if i can trigger it via there and i will report back ;)
To fix you need to set windows desktop to 1080p. V-sync 60fps . Then run New World and don’t run full screen but borderless window . Set to high and shadows medium . Gpu chills out and your room will get colder

The expression: "This game will use 150% of your GPU power" now make sense ;)
Hey, does amazon play games and mine eth for you too in-game? Drinks like a fish laughing, speaking like a drunk again.
It seems like the app is drawing itself at whatever resolution it gets set to in menu, and using Windows' UI scaling to resize that 4K render window down to fit on your monitor. That would explain why the Afterburner overlay resizes too. Also, the GPU is doing double duty to over-render the window, and then scale it down using non-driver-based scaling.
Honestly sounds like it's just super-sampling, trivial to do; just render scene at higher resolution and sample that down to desired resolution and display to user. That is effectively what DLSS does except without the whole deep-learning bit to prevent you from requiring the full 2x/4x required resolution.
DSR does that, which is why he made a point of showing that DSR was forced off in the control panel. SSAA will render portions of the scene at higher resolutions then scale it down, patching those portions into the rest of the scene that was rendered natively. DLSS does the exact opposite, it renders the scene at a lower resolution then scales it up to what you choose using machine learning. Most games communicate with the gfx card, which has already communicated with the monitor, and only display resolutions accordingly, with higher than native resolutions marked as DSR if available and enabled. The game is either missing that bit of code that does that, or it's somehow overriding the nvidia control panel, which isnt supposed to happen.
"app" - makes it easy to spot someone who knows nothing about computers
@@Justin-ee3im how does app indicate lesser knowledge? It's just easier to say and type and less confusing (application and program have other meanings)
@Jabba The Hutt I have a Dell S3220DGF monitor that is 165Hz 1440p natively, but it accepts a 2160p (4K) signal and auto-scales it to display as 1440p. It does this so that game consoles such as PS4 (which may not support 1440p resolution) can connect to this monitor and work as if it was a 4K monitor. I suspect that Jayz's Corsair monitor may have a similar feature.
When they started to release 'self overclocking' cards and drivers I remember thinking it was a matter of time before this situation would arrive. Took longer than I expected though. No safety margins anymore, now you have to underclock to get stability. Still not letting off the devs or hardware, end users should not have to be engineers.
We're not engineering anything clown, at most troubleshooting. Which every consumer has to be eventually cause nothing is going to last forever. Idiotic statement you made
Rather than respond to your insult in kind I'll just ignore you after this response.
TLDR: it is unreasonable for end users to have to know about power delivery, watts or load spikes to ensure their hardware does not die at the home screen of a game.
Software and hardware engineers are responsible for making this kind of stuff work out of the box. They have all the information end users do not have access to, to ensure their goods work properly in the field. Through negligence they have pushed that responsibility to the end users.
Software Engineer: "I wrote a game that can cause your gpu to draw more power than it is capable of using without damage just at the home screen"
Hardware Engineer: "we created a gpu that can destroy itself when the razor thin safety margins are exceeded and put very few measures in place to prevent damage"
End User: "I just wanted to play a game"
If my car overheats while idling in the driveway I am a 'troubleshooter' to the extent of telling the mechanic that "it overheats when idle". It is not my job to figure out the problem is a faulty coolant pump, because then I become the mechanic at that point.

Can you do a video of a “general computer maintenance” specifically software. You taught me how to build a PC a few years ago, but I feel like there’s things I should do for upkeep. Updating bios etc, it’d be great to have a tutorial on everything to do!
1. Windows or no antivirus at all (firrwall is a must have anyway)
2. Don't chase newest drivers without a GOOD reason
3. Control your temperatures and prevent power limits using Throttlestop and MSI Afterburner
4. Use frametime lock equivalent to fps just below tour monitor's refresh rate (for 60 hz 16.960ms works best)
The best PC maintenance is "if it ain't broke don't fix it".
Definitely don't update your BIOS unless you actually have a reason to (fixing a bug, adding compatibility when you're upgrading your CPU, etc). If it's currently working for you there's no reason to change it.
adjusting wattage on modern gpus its like adjusting temps in shower, one slightest touch to the knob and temp... ↗stonks!
The shower thing is accurate af

In his video you did see it spiking up even when in the game, so I don't think it matters too much if it's menu or game, it's the same stress it seems.
This only happens with the 3xxx series, not giving 4k option with 2070

Jay,
DSR is driver-level trickery to enable something that any game can implement if it chooses, except when a game does it, it can do a better job. If the internal rendering resolution for the 3D scene is higher than the native display resolution of the panel, you can actually get some really nice anti-aliasing. If this is being done at the driver level, it gets applied to the entire screen. However, if it's done by the game, then UI/HUD elements can be rendered separately, which removes the weirdness that can be caused by over-rendering the UI/HUD and then using a downscaling filter to get it to fit on the screen.
It looks to me like the game might just be doing what DSR does, but internally, instead of at a driver level.
Is that just a fancy new name for supersampling? If so not separating it out to its own option is a bit misleading.
@@egoalter1276 Sure, it's misleading, but AMD and Nvidia both do it.

I took your recommendations during the beta test with my 3090 on a 4k monitor. I set my power limit at 82% and undid all my overclocks. The power still spikes up to 110% every now and then, but sits stably around 92-95% most of the time. I get around 80 FPS in game with these settings. Before changing the power limit from where I had it at 104% and with my old overclock I was seeing spikes as high as 135%.
“135%” that’s crazy man o_O
@@_Scythe1 Yep, That spike was on the menu screen. I would usually see a max spike of around 120% in game. That was with my overclock settings though and power limit set at 104%.

Hey Jay, if the 3090 FTW3 is a 375W, 107% is a total of 401W, which is what it was doing more or less. I think the problem is that whenever you use the slider on MSI afterburner, the Watts matched whatever you were inputing, 90% is 337W for example, which is the total power that it was being monitored, but the percentage seems completely broken.
Also theres a difference in how the percentages are calculated, theres uhhhh Total GPU Power and Total GPU Power as percentage of the TDP limit.
The FTW3 is not 375W, the MSI card is. The 1st version FTW3 is 325W and the current one is 350W.
well, there is also the issue that, why is it pulling 400w on the menu?
probably means its pulling way more power than it should at any given time in the game
@@ZoneXV On normal bios and the oc bios the pl is 420 watts. With 107% it is 450 watts. The xoc Bios is 500 watts.
@@malonysaintpierre1599 is not the only game that pulls 400w on the menu...
You know, with every modern card I've had, I used afterburner to give a small negative voltage bias and limited the temperature to 60c. You're seeing that behavior because the power % slider doesn't really do much, but the linked temperature slider does. Every card I've seen favors reaching the temp limit instead of respecting the power limit.
It is easier to predict temperature. Just monitor the power draw. It takes time for the increased power to heat the system. So you have more room to compensate. The heat can be controlled preemptively. But power draw cannot really be predicted. So managing it is limited to being reactionary.
Yep I suppose a nice undervolting reduces max power draw and eventually prevents the card from burning with NewBoomWorld...
You can un link the temperature/power-slider scale and tell it to prioritize temp or power limits you set
@@owenbar5055 They usually ignore power limits anyway and spike around as needed. But yeah it's something to try. I just unlink and leave max temp at 60c.
@@pascaldifolco4611 it's not really new world's fault. Yes they left gpu spikes in, but a lot of other games do too. Nvidia didn't give 3rd party manufacturers enough time to really test the power draw these GPU's can have and how they spike. Evga and others should know by now and newer revisions hopefully will handle spikes and power draw better.
You could try to run Unreal5 Demo AncientWorld and bring the console command (~ key) and put t.maxfps 144 (by default it's 60) and after r.screenpercentage 300 to run it a 8k (150 if you want 4k) on your 1440p monitor and look if your EVGA card burst into flame!

It could always be the way MSI afterburner is interacting with the evga card. We always kinda assume it just works with everything, but maybe that specific card doesnt properly interact with MSI afterburner? It might be worth it to test it with the evga utility you mentioned, just as a check. Of course the evga card also was having kinda weird behaviour when msi afterburned was on stock settings, but you never know.
It might be interesting to hook an oscilloscope across the power rails. I wonder if the EVGA card in particular has a power control law design problem.

at least i didn't hear crysis killing hardware, at best it would lag to a halt
I'd like to see some tests using hardware watt-meters like p3 (or what the UPS shows) with a 2nd PSU connected just to the video card. This will help align what the software is showing to what the card is actually pulling from the wall.
that will only show you the difference at the wall which comes down to PSU efficiency. however they do have inline power readers for PCI connectors(PCAT) they can test draw with at the cables for whatever card is plugged in. i think that would be more what you're after.
it also close enough to use current meter(clamp style not inline) on the cables and regular multimeter for voltage and do the math for watts. -75W for the pci bus
you cannot power the card with a separate source from the pcie slot its drawing power from. meaning youd have to power the mobo and gpu from the same psu unless you use a powered riser which would limit the cards performance due to the reduced number of pcie lanes available with such risers.
Tons of factors if you measure from the wall, the software reading will be the closest you can get since it is measured from the core
I can confirm that my PC with 3080Ti FTW3 is creeping right up on 600W draw from my UPS power monitor before I turned down the power limit on the card. I have never had a game cause my UPS to freak out over power draw before this, but it throws constant warnings if I don't turn it down.
Tbh I think its high time Puget Systems gets a blog going on this. If you're going to look for actual science on the matter, and not user-experiance focused content, then turn to the actual science guys over there to give us a true breakdown of what is happening to the hardware.
This is all a test for the next VR generation, to see if they can fry our brains while we game.
On some other note, imagine getting your hands on a 3090 in this day and age and having a game fry it.
I'm sitting here with my Sapphire 5700xt Nitro+ because no one wanted them because of early driver bugs (it's pretty great now)
Deffinitly going to be avoiding this game cause I don't wanna risk it, seriously, they deffinitly didn't do enough (if any) testing or optimizing before launch.
Deffinitly makes a good case to wait a few months or even more than a year before picking up new games, the serious lack of effort to *finish* a game before launch is getting ridiculous
I'd like to see a test with the evga card running evga precision.
Same, Precision is shit, but I'm wondering if Afterburner isn't able to handle / interpret EVGA's implementation of power scaling, or maybe MSI themselves began doing something different (doubtful, as the EVGA cards higher tendency to self-suicide is independent of any OC software).
This was my thought as well. I know that theoretically, it shouldn't matter what software you use but I'd be curious to see if it makes a difference.
I was thinking exactly the same thing
I use Precision and when I lower the power target down to 80 it will actually put it down to 80 and not let it go over. I keep it open on my second monitor and watch it as I play New World and it only jumps to 81 every so often. Also if I lower the power on Precision the GPU usage goes down from 95-100 to a normal number around 80 or a little lower and GPU temp goes down too.
@@SlothJohnson Odd that, when I use Precision and limit power to 73% or something, I often see it sit around 75 and bounce up to 83. Really don't like this software, but having 10 profiles is handy.

Hey Jayz, I'm getting rather different results setting the PL at 90 on MSI Afterburner vs the X1 Precision. Precision seems to be doing more than MSI> Not sure what is happening here
This was my thoughts. Seems logical that the msi card runs exactly as it should using msi software. I wonder what the evga card would do using x1.
Plays Civilization 2 MGE on my old mac OS 9 iMac.
I reckon this confirms my thoughts on the firmware power management... the firmware polls the shunts on the card on a regular interval and manages load not by reducing input, but by throttling the GPU internally. If poll rate is too slow, it will fail to detect the peaks that occur as spikes. The overshoot is either bad firmware, slow polling, inaccurate power monitoring, or a combination of all 3.
The reason why the power draw on the EVGA cards may be inaccurate could be based on how they measure the cards power for their own reference board. When I use EVGA's precision X1 software it never goes past the power target I set it to. With afterburner it seems to be inaccurate.
Yeah this probably explains why I can pull higher stable overclocks with PX1 than afterburner.
using the intended software to increase power limits would be my next step of testing too. please do a follow up Jay
I tried x1 and msiafterburner for 3d mark. Pretty much the same results and average clock. I use hwinfo for my gpu power draw though.
It also happen on Gigabyte cards, it's basically happening to every card with a 400-500W bios, it's not about precision software.
A GPU should't explode for an OC software anyway, there are protection measures in place at the hardware level, those are clearly failing on 3090/3080
@@lupintheiii3055 Also the countless AMD cards that have been reported to get smoked by New World.
If I was in a scenario where the power delivery of my GPU potentially was underspecced to a level where a load of a game such as New World could make it 'popp', then I would want to play the game to see if it actually does 'popp'. Even if it's just a small batch or whatever of faulty cards, I would want to run my card to ensure that I don't have one of those bad batches.

That's such a bullshit statement anyways. Real mining cards are undervolted to ensure ideal power to power draw ratio. The rigs usually offer good cooling too.

I'm miner and gamer at the same time, and I definitely take better care of my mining cards than one that I'm gaming on.

Tested this last night on my 3080Ti FE. with everything at stock, the power limit never went more than 105%, averaged about 85%. When I maxed out the power limit slider (114%), I saw it spike up to 122% once.. I'll leave the power limit slider at stock just to be safe.

Ok...so while running the game, the card is allowing it's own power draw to go well above what it is designed for. How is that the fault of the game exactly?! Seems to me that the cards software and bios should be limiting that and it isn't. Video games don't limit the power draw. The hardware does.
Bingo. You set a limit on the hardware part and that should be it.

As a former QA engineer yourself you should have tried the EVGA tool when you noticed Afterburner settings working sort of as expected with the MSI card just as a sanity check.
I guess that the problem is on how those tools interact with the firmware of the card so setting it to 90% on software, for some reason, might not be 90% at a firmware level.
I agree. Fellow QA here, people usually don't think that way so those findings are just one piece of the puzzle.

Interesting how the stability differs from the EVGA to MSI. Only thing I got to wondering while watching this is, what if MSi Afterburner is what is causing the inconsistency with the EVGA card? I have an EVGA card, I don't like using EVGA's software either, but have you tried EVGA's precision Overdrive software with the EVGA card for tests to see if it has the same inconsistency? I mean, I know it shouldn't really matter, but maybe the OC software between MSI and EVGA has their own way of "efficiently" communicating with the card? Idk? As much as we have seen software's influence on how the hardware behaves, it's just a thought. I honestly think there would not be any difference between using one OC software over the other, but who knows?
huh how weird how an MSI VIDEOCARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! works better with software like MSI!!!! afterburner. then say something like a non msi card.
yes it would make seans
I had the exact same thought
I share your opinion.
They are both cheap pos s , never see problems on Asus products. You get what I pay for
I'm curious whether or not the spikes being seen on the GPU's power monitors are actually telling the full story, or whether we're just getting averages/point in time numbers and seeing much higher spikes that are in excess of the numbers being displayed. I imagine that'd need far more sophisticated test equipment to determine.
You can change the settings for faster measuring to get a higher 'resolution'. Jayz measuring is fairly slow

Jay, the 107% in after burner might actually be 120% of the reference power limit. The percentage scale on the game may be pulling its numbers from the driver and not the card/game.

If you have this issue with "borderless border window" when the settings say fullscreen, change to window-mode AND change your resolution. Then change back to fullscreen and set your correct resolution. This fixes the weird bordered borderless fullscreen bullshit.

Just tested afterburner out on my Asus 2080, and it has the same radical power usage behavior, not in the menu, but in the game. I set the power limit 100% and it spikes up into 106-107% and down to 90%.

Great Vid informing us about the Dangers of over drawing power from Graphic's cards!
Jay that Corsair Monitor actually does support 4k, the specs of it lists "Native Resolution 2560x1440 (16:9)" and "Max Resolution 3840x2160 (16:9)"
"Downscaling" is specified in the monitor's quick start guide appendix.
I was going to say that. Some 1440p monitors support 4K for using with a console such as PS4/PS5 where you can either choose output at 1080p or 4K, no 1440p.
It usually only works via HDMI though.
Jay not knowing this shows how much research has gone into this piece..... LOL
So the panel is 4K?
That's not 4k. That's a 1440p image stretched up to 4k, aka upscaling. So no, it doesn't actually support 4k resolution. Imagine trying to insult somebody and being so clueless you make yourself look ridiculous.
The way they are emulating DSR in game (in software) is the issue. Doing a blit/copy of a large amount of data, the background frame buffer to the screen buffer, on every frame is going to work the memory controller and VRAM really really hard but leave most of the GPU idle during that time. This is the same even at native resolution. Normally you would just let the DSR _hardware_ handle the down scaling and emulating it in software is obviously the wrong way. But this is where you get higher than max power draw even though the GPU usage is only at about 70-75%. The GPU renders the frame to the background buffer, then most of the GPU goes idle while it blits/copies the background buffer to the next available screen buffer but the memory controller and VRAM light up in power usage during that time. Even at native resolution this is the wrong way. So the memory controller on the GPU is drawing a lot more power _and_ the VRAM is also drawing more power. Since the VRAM chips are accessed sequentially like raid 0 they will all be hit by the blit... In theory, this all makes sense...
This Checks out, I reckon they're doing something Sus in their rendering pipeline too
Jay this monitor supports 4K and downscales it to 2K. Mine does too.
you are right
He really should cut this part out of the video and republish. clearly not a bug in that case.
Thanks for that. Was wondering why it was a selection if it's not a 4K monitor.
The question is would he know that. Would the average user of that monitor know it?
@@HappyBeezerStudios It's not a well known feature of these monitors indeed
8:27 Because you don't need DSR/VSR if the engine implements a custom framebuffer internally for rendering into before final output.
Its the same thing as Resolution Scale on most other games, no?
@@GucciGoblins Yeah it is! DSR is just for games that doesn't natively implement it.
@@GucciGoblins Basically, only real difference is whether it happens on driver level or game engine level, but the idea is indeed the same.
Engine level has the advantage that the HUD can be scaled and rendered separately after the game so you won't end up with tiny text on the HUD. So can't really blame new world for doing it better in that sense.
Reason why they default to 4k on a lower resolution screen with a beefy GPU is likely since it also gives the best possible AA.
@@Megalomaniakaal Yep, on RPCS3 I have resolution scale set beyond the native resolution. Exactly because it smooths out the image, even if the particular game doesn't support anti-aliasing
Yes but it's very weird there isn't an option to choose output resolution. Game is locked in to whatever res it believes your monitor is in, and if that's wrong for whatever reason, you can't change
Its almost as if the cards are using a savage load line calibration and the detection software is monitoring the original inputs to the card.
The resolution thing is interesting. I like that they went with a borderless window because Windows is weird and a real fullscreen app has limitations, but having done that, I think what's happening with the resolution is that the Windows desktop window manager or the rendering pipeline is downscaling the window to the desktop resolution. I bet if you set it to a lower resolution, it would upscale. The size of a window is in a unit that's not pixels, so they are most likely setting the window to the desktop resolution to avoid doing math or asking the DWM to resize the desktop, and then the 3D rendering surface is being stretched to the size of the container - which means up or down depending on the configured resolutions. If you went to 1080p but had a 4K desktop resolution (which is reasonable - lots of people, myself included, have GPUs that will do 4K on the desktop, some games, and normal productivity applications, but could never run this game at 4K), I would expect all the text to be super blurry. Or maybe they worked around that by using the FidelityFX algorithm (which is open source and can be implemented on NVIDIA cards).
After playing for a couple of days since launch, I watched your video about New World still causing issues. Since I've already received a RMA 3090 Hybrid due to a prior incident with FiveM, I did some investigating. I enabled Geforce Experience overlay to see where things were at. With my card on default settings through Precision X1, I observed New World pulling 390-420 Watts. I then went into X1 and adjusted my power slider to 85% max. I then opened the game and observed the game to be running 325-350 Watts max, and it gave me better frame rate averages. Default settings was around 70-130 FPS depending on scene. 85% I was seeing 85-175 FPS. These were all tested in 1440p.
@Dodo I do like using the manufacture software with manufacture equipment if I can help it.
@Dodo Understandable. X1 is no perfect beast, but it does what I need it to. It's a 3090, so I don't need overclocked anything :)
Can't tell you enough how amazing I think it is that you are taking the time to test all of this. Thank you.
8:57 seen this behavior in a lot of MMO's I've always had higher resolution options for WoW in particular before DSR existed.
This is called super sampling. Normally this is under a different setting, named "render resolution". I was unable to get what JayzTwoCents got for 4K, on AMD RX 6900 xt in New World or anything higher than my monitor's resolution. Same thing on my GTX 1080ti as my secondary card.
Yeah exactly. I really don't understand what he thinks he is proving here other than stating the obvious.
@@breakbend7707 because a 4k should not exist under the settings unless you have a 4k monitor same for me by default...4k was enabled I do not have a 4k this could be a major issue that's causing crashes
This game runs like trash at 4K and 4K is the default option enabled on install regardless of monitor. The fullscreen windowed mode also means that v-sync, g-sync, and free-sync isn't going to work properly. (Edit): New World also doesn't let you select your monitor either, so if you have a separate gaming monitor you have to swap it using hotkeys. The way it deals with displays is completely broken.
@@HealerMommy1 this is nothing new, other games behave the same way.
Just to point out, in games there are two resolutions. The screen resolution and the Render Target/Back Buffer, these two things aren't coupled and so the size which is presented to the screen can be any size you want.
So seeing 4K in the resolution drop-down isn't such a major issue, since it'll just be creating a 4k render target and presenting it to the 1440p screen, it's not a driver or graphics card issue. It's simply a graphics capability detection problem.
Not really that bad and expected for launch month, especially when targeting PC platforms.
I swear that game feels like most of the devs were hired directly out of ITT Tech and have never worked on a game before. I have a good time playing it, but JFC it's got so many bugs.
Many many many bugs. I've plowed a stupid number of hours into this game. There is a gem of a game hidden in all the faction mechanics, PvP, and crafting/economic systems... Just jeez the bugs.

Honestly better than what I was expecting when Amazon's venture into the gaming industry was revealed.
You realize that the problem was in GPU manufacturer's right?
This is 100% gpu problem. No matter what a game does, the card should not self destruct. Same with CPUs, no matter what the software does, they cannot self destruct.

Good ol EVGA FTW2 1070 Ti just trucking along after all these years since I've been on the EVGA FTW3 3080 waitlist since last December and at this point I might get to order a card by the end of next year.
I just upgraded from a 480 to a evga 980ti classified and it runs this game well enough .. 60fps on max settings on 1080p .. temps run a little high on anything i do with the card but thats mostly my small ass case .. I'm also on the waiting list .. but itll prob come up during Christmas and I'll have the money spent
It'll probably be ready a day or two after the 4080 goes retail lol

@JayzTwoCents
Something to mention is in the EVGA Precision X1 Program i set a framerate target of 150. I have a EVGA FW3 3080 and 5900x. I have my power limit slider at 100%. Ive watched my precision boost over drive wile playing this game on a 2k monitor 3440 x 1440P ultra in every setting. And my power draw is never over 76%-80%max. I now have 150 hours in game since launch since a week ago with zero issues. Im not a expert in any of this but perhaps setting a target for fps within the X1 program limits the power cap automatically.
Current Clock speeds on my 3080.
Clock: 2025MHz
Voltage: 1081mV~
Power Slider 100% = Hitting 76-80%max
GPU POWER DRAW: MIN: 273.263W MAX: 313.365W Average: 304.~W
Memory: 9800mhz (slight overclock on my card up from 9502 base)

Jay. just curious - have you tried running the same tests with EVGA Precision? Could there be some weirdness between Afterburner and the EVGA card? Highly unlikely, but just a thought from a former software QA guy...
My thoughts exactly
That is a significant problem with this video. If he wants to blame new world he needs to setup a control with another game to see if the same behavior occurs. Is it new world that won't limit the power or is it Afterburner controlling an EVGA card with unknow bios. this is just sensationalism.
@@krk4201 So is ignoring that EVGA said it was bad solder and the way the cards were being loaded that killed a batch of their cards and the fact that Afterburner was able to recognize the EVGA card down to the specific model and what limits it has, which come from the BIOS on the card, to say the test was completely invalid. _Especially_ when Jay put the card through his XOC stuff.
Would it have been more thorough? Yeah. You also don't know what everyone else who's had EVGA _and Gigabyte_ cards blow up was using.
This could be an issue caused by AB, he should use the evga software to make sure
@@RealRaynedance EVGA cards didnt stop blowing up as Jayz said, it was just a shift in media focus since apparently other brands suffers too.
This is not Amazons fault, and its technically not the AIBs fault either even tho they should be held responsible for safety protocols failing... This problem goes deeper, it traces back to Nvidia and the power spec sheet.
If the design is not fundamentally changed in the 4000 series you'll start seeing even more cards blowing up unless the AIBs goes all-in with power delivery.
I’d still argue it isn’t the game. Everything the game can tell the graphics card to do has to go through 1st the graphics library API (e.g. DirectX), 2nd the graphics card driver, and 3rd the graphics card’s BIOS/firmware and firmware-controlled communication chips.
It’s a hardware problem, sure, but the software side of it is the firmware and/or driver’s fault.
I feel like the fact that this shit only happens with like a grand total of 2 or 3 graphics cards is all the proof you need it's not the game.
Indeed. Doesn't matter if it is 3090s or 6900XTs blowing up, it shouldn't happen through usage of the public APIs.
100%
Imagine if you could just make a game (or any program that uses the GPU) that could just make it blow up.
That just doesn't fly, it's 100% a hardware and driver issue.
It’s important to understand that I really hate Amazon and Jeff Bezos with an eternal passion, and I’d be happy to blame Amazon if they were at fault. The problem is that that premise makes no F-ing sense. Seriously, has nobody studied the rate of 3090s dying when doing deep learning neural network stuff 24/7?
I would like you to see if the EVGA X1 does the same overshoot of the power draw. I would like to know if it the software of the program causing the instability?
when i couldnt find the 3090 ftw3 but got a gaming trio instead last holiday season i was upset. hearing jay call it rock solid really warmed my heart XD
So I just had the black screen happen on my ASUS Strix 1080TI, and I’ve been having intermittent crashing on the game client as well. I locked my fps to 60 via Nvidia control panel, and I have adjusted fan curves to be more aggressive for temperature control. It is running the game at medium settings 1440p, but despite only reaching around only 75 Celsius, it crashed to a black screen. This is very clearly not a temperature issue, but a power draw issue, the game is tripping some sort of fail safe within GPUs to stop them from dying. I’m sure this video goes deeper down the rabbit hole than I have, but I have played everything from Escape From Tarkov (very intensive game and poorly optimized) to MMO games like WoW. In my 4 years of owning the card now this has never happened, and it is concerning that Amazon is taking so long to provide a concrete fix to this issue.
Edit : Just to note, prior to the adjustments I have made, the game was pummeling my GPU and causing it to reach temperatures that made me very uncomfortable playing. This is why I even went down the rabbit hole to begin with.
It isn't the fault of New World. It is the fault of the card, bios, and/or driver. Games, Blender, Crypto mining, whatever, present a load. They do not manage power usage. It is up to to the card, bios, and driver to keep power usage in check. Power limiters were created to protect from workloads that draw more power at same clockspeed, so if card is drawing more, the power limiter is broken. New World is affected by some sort of major flaw in the cards, and/or drivers, but it isn't their fault.
My Asus strix 3080 ti runs very cool playing new world. Doesn't seem to stress the gou all that much. I have had the black screen which eventually crashed the game but due to the GPU stats I was looking at I was concluding it was the game itself crashing from the chaos going on in game and not an issue with the GPU itself. Fwiw I have my card running stock settings. FPS cap in game at 60 and capped at 144 in Nvidia control panel.
i have the exact same card as you for just as long now and have also had zero issues i used to run 5-6 instances of ld player 24/7 and havnt had any issues i did cap my fps in beta at 60 fps just because i didnt feel the need to max out my card but iv had zero crashes since launch of new world so far and im sitting at about 80 hours so far
Many games are stuck in borderless nowadays. It's an issue that often gets overlooked
It's not an issue, that's the standard and is by design. Fullscreen has become Borderless since a few years ago, since Windows had an update which made them basically the same.
Exclusive Fullscreen is the old Fullscreen, and Fullscreen is borderless windowed mode.
And that's a problem.
For example, on CoD:BOCW my FPS increases by nearly 25% by switching from borderless to fullscreen.
@@dyent This is not the norm, borderless and exclusive fullscreen are more or less the same performance wise in Windows 10/11. But it sucks that there are games out there which perform much worse for some reason.
@@Mycrosss how is that "standard"? By which design? Microsoft trying to force something on users doesn't become standard all of a sudden, just as many other dubious or hostile to user changes introduced by that company.
Haven't updated my system in a while, and can't find information about update that makes borderless and exclusive fullscreen "basically same". A source of that would be appreciated
Does the same thing happen with EVGA’s precision? Just curious since the MSI card had less issues with the power slider in their own software. I noticed that afterburner isn’t reporting my memory oc on my 3070 ti FE card as well.
i myself had to uninstall afterburner cuz of weird bugs, my 3080 ftw hybrid would be 50*C and suddenly the fans would kick to 100%. made no sense lool.
@@Hafizul12 Thats weird, Ive never had any issues with afterburner, but Ive had several issues with precision x...I wish EVGA would make it work right because I actually like it better when it does work...
@@brucepreston3927 yea my thoughts exactly, i expected precision x to give me that type of error, i dont have any issues with afterburner on my siblings 3070, just on my 3080 lol.

@@brucepreston3927 lmao gotto love technology, yea best way is to try both n stick to the one thats not giving errors.
The peak power draw is probably even higher than MSI reports. By up to 50%. It looks very much like a power line resonance. But that'd be only a theory.
As for a mass on a spring, the higher the mass the lower the resonance frequency. Here we have a humongous current to draw, but fairly weak power lines.
What New World does is it's constantly switching graphics context in order to draw it on screen: it first draws the scene which brings GPU to performance mode, but then it switches to window context (that being the Windows UI) and just copies the image over it. Since the last one is a fairly simple operation GPU drops the power state to low(er).
That cycle repeats every frame, switching back and forth from high current to low current. That causes resonance. In most cases that wouldn't be a problem, but this is not a typical case, we're dealing with a small room heater class GPU. For a low power card that resonance frequency is fairly high and the GPU is set up such that it will never get close to that frequency by switching power states. But for 3090 with a giant number of coils and capacitors (considering f_r=1/LC) it looks like that resonance frequency is in the vicinity of 200 Hz. Maybe lower.
Why's that? I've seen a case when some streamer REDUCED graphics settings so his FPS shot to 200s and the card instantly popped. Because the power lines resonated. Why don't other games fry those cards then? Because they don't force the power state by changing drawing context.
How to resolve it if that's the case: manually lock power state to P0. Program called nVidiaInspector can do that. It requires a reboot and it makes the GPU run hot on idle, so... it's a temporary solution.
Again, it's only my guess, but I'm fairly certain it might be true.
As an Evga 3090 FTW3 Ultra user here (luckily mine is a black lips version), I was wondering if you had tried the same test for the card but using Precision X1 instead of Afterburner as I was wondering if maybe Evga’s own software had tighter control over their card than say Afterburner did. Once again though another great video.
I wonder the same thing. Stuck on a 970 SC and without X1 I can't make the fan profile activate. MSI afterburner doesn't even touch the fans with it's control, so wondering if it's just some hardware ID that the bios isn't handling.
@@chemmerling I had the same issue on higher versions of X1 on my 1080 FTW 8gb, i had to install the 1.0.6 version of X1, and it seems pretty stable. LED sync is put into a different folder in the x86 folder and can be fixed (turned on) that way. Profiles are saving and not crashing.
Does the EVGA card behave the same with the power limit through EVGA's tool and/or through the driver level changes you can make in the Geforce Experience overlay?
I run an evga 3070 and since launch I've always monitored my card...through precision x1...I've never hit 100% power draw.
My EVGA 3090 FTW3 is running way over on the EVGA Precision software
msi power utility may need to be changed to the 1 for evga ? can you try this jay ?
I was about to ask if precision X 1 would let him control the power limit more effectively on the evga card since its meant for it over afterburner. My X1 allows 128% and always has pulled close to 128% and stays at 80% when I move the slider to 80% with precision x1 on my evga 1080. But also my card is a few generations older so who knows if they changed how it all works.
@@MrDeathstab No precision X1 works the same, the problem is it's a software working trough Windows, so it can have some millisecond of delay wich is enough to fry a GPU pulling 400W.
The problem is the 3090 itself, a GPU shouldn't draw this much power
Great video showing that software can break hardware in certain cases where the hardware isn't regulating itself as it should.
yeah 100% still the fault of the hardware as it CANT run at the specs it advertised. Due to mistakes, lack of quality control or what not does not matter as software cannot brick stuff that is working as intended. If I make a car engine and say that it can handle this amount of pressure then I cant blame anyone when it blows up because someone took it to that pressure limit.
@@JWSoul You're the laughable one... Software won't let you overclock a card beyond what the hardware manufacturer allows you to.
still the fault of the hardware though
@@HMan2828 It is not the overclock here, this is most likely related to DirectX and instructions, the software is putting more load on the cards than many benchmarks designed to roast the hardware (but in a proper and controlled way). Something is very very wrong with the code. This is still a minor issue considering how many people play the game, but i am affected and i had to gimp my 3090 pretty hard to keep it stable. At least it is possible to control that on the user end, but the user should NEVER be expected to optimize advanced settings such as powertarget in such cases. Specially because this stuff is not even visible to the average gamer by default, you have to dig around to see what's going on.
Amd gpu updates were scary locked up my pc from starting a fewctimes is why i stick with nvidia
Hey Jay, I have the EVGA RTX 3080 FTW3 Ultra and I've flashed the 450w XOC BIOS onto it. Whenever I set the power limit to 118% (450w), it doesn't really seem to listen to that setting. If I hit it with a heavy load and it power throttles, it'll throttle down to about the 350-380w range. If I run a lighter load and manage to get it to power throttle, it'll typically throttle between 400-420w, but 450w is extremely hard to reach. I believe it could be current limiting, rather than power limiting. For example, at extremely heavy loads, it'll run a lower "power state" to get back within spec, but that really just means it's running a lower voltage point on the V/F curve. Power=volts*amps, so at lower voltage points, 450w is a lot more current than at higher voltage points. For example, when I run a heavy load and only manage to pull 350w at 850mV, that's about 411A current. If I run a lighter load that doesn't throttle to such a low voltage point, I may pull 420w at 1050mV, which would only be around 400A current.
All this to say, this is the only card I've ever used that doesn't always listen to the power limiter and reports power throttling even when it's far below the setting.
I'm very curious to see if this power overdraw happens when you adjust the power % target using nvidia's own tool as well as any gpu management software EVGA has
Afterburner has compatibility options for third party cards which could cause problems with power% targets
Don't make sense there as it the game's fault causing that mess in the first place if you test every other games and the power draw stay the same way before new world then it working as intended but when testing new world and the card shit itself yeah it like furmark all over again
@@neddy1287 but the msi card was staying where he put in even in new world whereas the evga was not
@@samgoff5289 The game is flawed it don't matter
wouldn't make a difference, this is a bios level issue with the evga cards. while most cards try to hit an average power usage for a certain interval evga's cards from what i can tell are reversed where it'll throw as much power as it needs to hold a specific clock speed until a temperature target is hit forcing it to lower the clock speeds.
@@sirmonkey1985 Jeez I'm guessing someone going to crack open the new world to find out what hiding in the codes. I don't think it a bios related problem as jay reflashed it a few times

I've really been enjoying the 31 days of Jaytober.
IF YOUR CARD IS EXPLODING OR GETTING SUPER HOT, READ THIS.
I had same problem 2 days ago and yesterday. The problem isnt with your gpu, but the bad programming they did.
The way to fix it is to down volt your card. Thats literally it - use MSI Afterburner, down volt your card and boom - you get a working game with normal temperatures, stable fps and less fps spikes. I literally have more fps after downvolting my 1070ti to 1800MHz at 0.95V or sth like this and my card is at stable 61Celcius + the fps are never dropping below 60
Jay, you keep up the good work!
Hey try changing the graphics settings from pow to very high or to the other settings a few times while you’re in game…. I’ve seen a lot of people including myself have a crash happen when changing the settings while everything loads up
Not sure it would necessarily make a difference, but it may be worth checking out, did you try using the card with EVGAs software? Nothing against Afterburner but maybe it just doesn’t work well with certain hardware.
PrecisionX sucks. Know from experience. No matter what card you have the only application you should use is afterburner. To answer your question, it would not affect the behavior.
I agree, I use PrecX and it may have better control of the EVGA card. But this is all still speculation on Jay's part. When I play games, all of the power/fps/% used all fluctuates. This is not super abnormal.
@@AcedNAonDiscord Well i had a 1070 from asus, i was unable to make afterburner to work with that, had to download asus own shitty program. It sucks but it is what it is.
Man Im so lucky!! was playing the game and noticed the room was heating up...this game turns your pc into a furnace !!
Jay, I have one question: 16:58 why are the fans of the msi card not moving despite full load? The cooler cannot have that much thermal mass to introduce such a delay, right?
Don't worry about it. ;)
BuildZoid got one gigabyte 3090 "fried by new world", and though he notes that he has just a sample size of one, it seems that the asymetric design of the vrm on the reference board is causing the issue, because on the card he has, the issue seems to be that one of the vcore power stages got blown. He is going to try to fix it. 10 Power stages for 8 phases seems that the controller is having issues balancing the load, because there should be no need to balance that load.
by the way, that doesn't seem to be the issue. the issue is that the card violates the spec so much that vrm's eventually give up and die.
Also, in the game's Visuals tab, DSR is at the bottom which is likely why you're able to scale higher (set to on by default).
Setting it off in windows is meant to override any in-game settings.
As you know there are other factors here besides the cards going above their spec. If the system build its self doesn't allow for adequate cooling, then things aren't going to go well for the hardware if the brakes are off and the hardware continues to burn up rather than be allowed to regulate its self down. Combine these conditions with marginal components, and this sure is a big factor in failures. I say this as I think about some of the cases out there such as that used in the over-priced Alienware desktops with zero space for the CPU and video card to run coolly inside the case, and run at high-temperatures to begin with. The other issue too is how clean the computers are inside. If there's a build-up of dust, crud, pet hair, and dirt then the components are already at their top end of their temperature range which is now putting them into an already compromised state.
With that said, I think your card hasn't failed because there's nothing impeding the airflow around it since it sits out in the open. The problem however is the home-user isn't going to run their system that way. The thing is software should not kill the hardware let alone a computer game, benchmarking and burn-in testing excluded, so there's definitely something amiss here that puts the hardware into this situation in addition to its operating environment.
Try doing 90 with precision X, maybe its something with afterburner
I was thinking this.
Or maybe a GPU should not explode regardless but just shut down your system...
Or even better an aircooled GPU shouldn't comsume 400W to begin with.
@@lupintheiii3055 My ASUS RTX 3090 ROG STRIX GAMING OC goes up to 475 Watt in Port Royal with custom highest settings and 1hr loop. It's normal for GA102 cards. What's not normal is the overshoot on the FTW3. I think I know exactly what the cause is: Load spikes that aren't taken into consideration cause unseen by the VBIOS due to too slow polling. Monitoring software polls the sensors itself via the SMBUS through PCIe and can detect it, while the VBIOS with direct access to the sensors for some reason doesn't or is too slow to react to spikes. Would also explain why other cards react differently to them than others. Some poll faster, some don't.
Should try different OC software also to see if Afterburner is creating the anomaly in EVGA cards or any other cards that technically are not spec for Afterburner use
This anomaly is not new and was occurring in other games on stock settings (ie., Halo 2). It had to do with no FPS limitation leading to crazy frames that overload the GPU (hence why this happened with 3090s running old games like Halo 2).
However, one thing that I finally noticed lately with my own 3080 and MSI Afterburner is that manually controlling the fans via Afterburner only appeared to affect the middle fan, as the left and right fans were on a different controller. I have since switched to GPU Tweak II since it can control both sets of fans.

@@vovin8132 dude look at the menu fps is 62 and still 400+ usage, i am 100% sure amazon is using GPU power for crypto or other mining..
@@niks660097 Hence why I brought that up in the past tense. My point is that games have been bricking RTX 30xx cards since they came out. Not sure what this reason is but I'd be suspicious of any game Amazon puts out. You'd probably be quicker at finding the problem via reading terms and conditions for the game somewhere. Amazon is putting lots of money into AI systems so maybe they are using people's GPUs for that. Doubt Amazon would need to be using peoples' GPUs for mining when they have so much money they would make way more from just playing the crypto market, without the risk of getting caught.
Also, should check what happens when the game is run without internet connection. Or is it one of those always-online games lol
I would assume the reason 4k shows up as an option is because the game has an inbuilt super resolution feature, allowing you to run at any resolution that will fit your aspect ratio regardless of the resolution of the monitor.
Not with AMD or 2070...
As a sidenote, if you're capable of automating a benchmark suite, it might e interesting to see how different cards respond to different power limits in terms of performance. I know there's some non-linearity in the power/performance response curve, but I think it'd be interesting to see it mapped out some. For example, how much of that non-linearity is the chip itself versus how much is the board design? How much performance is usually lost by dropping a power limit to X% versus how much power gets saved? That kind of thing.
I think some people might be interested in finding out if they can save 25% of the power load on the card while maybe seeing a performance drop of only 10-15%. If a card is over-specced enough for the game being played, it might be entirely acceptable to help cut fan noise, reduce heat in the room, and possibly increase the longevity of the card.
I really hope this video gets more traction. There has been so much going on with this game.
This video is definitely getting traction, it's being shared all over New World Forums.
Glad my 1080ti can run the game at over 100fps
With how spicy the issue is it would be a problem if it didn't
Question: is the over draw on power a display error in MSI Afterburner? Or maybe because the it's is doing something incorrectly? Have you tried the EVGA tool? I ask because this is totally weird and may be relevant. Do you see the same behavior using the manufacturer's tools rather than Afterburner? Don't get me wrong, I can see New World obviously has severe coding issues. Just the voltage and wattage going over the setting chosen seems like a software glitch, not necessarily a hardware issue (could be specific to EVGA cards not being treated the same in Afterburner ... non-standard way Afterburner normally polls data from the card/writes settings to card?)
The evga tool is the same thing... msi afterburner and evga precision are identical
It's a combination of hardware and crap software. Some hardware component is going out of spec while running buggy software. The combination is bad and should be patched properly, it clearly moved from one manufacturer to the other after a software patch :D I have a feeling that manufacturers did not tell the people everything about the cause of the problem too.
@@cruxer666 it's due to how Nvidia created boost algorithm based on power limit, it's limiting average power, so spikes are limited only by silicon and how much power it can pull, and in new world it happens to be more than vrm can provide and transistors blow up.
It drives me nuts when games say "fullscreen" and its actually windowed borderless. Half the time you have to go into the config file to change it back. Having multiple monitors its a PITA when ingame and your cursor decides to migrate to the other window lol. That rev limiter comment was a hell of an analogy ;)
That's why my second monitor is configured to be above the first.
I read that part about the rev limiter analogy right as he said it in the video... weird
There are many games with a built in function of trapping the cursor, either as an innate function, or toggleable.
One of the first games I remember encountering this was Starcraft 2 I believe, having several options for it. Most useful was the "smart" function that locked the cursor while in a game (unless you alt+tabbed or otherwise made the window lose focus), but in the menus it would be free.
@@duckrutt Yeah that would throw me off all the time because mine in down to the left of my main screen lol
@@tsjeriAu Yeah i didnt see an option for that anywhere, usually they have it defaulted like that if in true fullscreen but i am seeing alot of games now go to the "fullscreen exclusive" option that does the same thing. Too bad they dont have that option in NW because it generally performs better and more stable in that mode. Might have to do some digging and try to find the config file at some point and see if i can trigger it via there and i will report back ;)
To fix you need to set windows desktop to 1080p. V-sync 60fps . Then run New World and don’t run full screen but borderless window . Set to high and shadows medium . Gpu chills out and your room will get colder
