Blizzard’s much-anticipated game, Diablo 4, has caught the attention of many PC gamers. News of the invite-only beta has been buzzing across various online platforms, making non-participants green with envy. However, if you’re one of the lucky few who’ve received these exclusive invites, you might want to be careful if you own specific models of high-end GPUs from both AMD and Nvidia. Reports have come out of graphics cards dying while being used to play the game – a far cry from the usual Windows graphics crash. Some users have even experienced this issue within as little as twenty minutes of playing the game.
Affected cards are causing the PC to stop working, with some users noticing haywire cooling fans just before the malfunction. The video doesn’t return after a reboot, unless the user switches to another card, or integrated graphics. Typically, the best solution is to return the card, which means affected players’ experiences with Diablo 4 might end up being an overwhelming disappointment.
Some may remember the similar issue when Amazon’s New World MMO was bricking RTX 3090 cards. Although the number of people reporting this issue is extraordinary, it is still a small fraction of the total beta players. While this may not deter players from trying out Diablo 4, there is still pressure on Blizzard, Nvidia, and various partner manufacturers to get to the root of the problem.
