It is reported that the game overloads the graphics card and causes crashes and even hardware errors. The GeForce RTX 3080 Ti is a last-generation high-end graphics card from Nvidia that still offers excellent performance and is specifically designed for demanding games and applications. So it’s worrying to hear that it can be damaged by playing Diablo IV. The exact cause of these problems is not yet clear, but some speculation suggests that it may be due to a combination of factors, including overloading of the graphics card by the game itself and possibly a problem with the drivers or other system components.
Blizzard has responded to these reports and recommends that players using this graphics card adjust the graphics settings in Diablo IV and make sure they have the latest drivers installed for their graphics card and other system components. They are also actively working to resolve the issue to ensure that all players have a smooth and safe gaming experience. It is important to note that currently these problems have only appeared in the beta version of Diablo IV and not in the final version of the game. However, it is always advisable to be cautious and ensure that the hardware is always properly used and maintained to avoid potential damage.
A Reddit user reported that his Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Vision OC 12G broke after only 20 minutes of gaming. According to his description, the cutscene in the chapel was the exact moment when his GeForce RTX 3080 Ti went crazy. It didn’t take long for other affected users to speak up. Another user claims that the cutscene also destroyed his Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Vision OC 12G. However, users have also experienced crashes during normal gameplay. It seems that there is an issue with certain models of the Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Ti that can cause crashes and even failure of the graphics card. However, it is unclear whether this is due to a hardware or software problem. It is also unclear how widespread this problem is and whether it affects other graphics card manufacturers.
At this point, it cannot be said with certainty whether either Gigabyte’s GeForce RTX 3080 Ti or Diablo IV is responsible for the faulty graphics cards. However, it was reported by another user that Valheim rendered his GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Vision OC 12G unusable. Gigabyte provided the affected user with a replacement, but did not provide any specific information about what was wrong with the graphics card. Thus, there seems to be a precedent suggesting that there is a problem with Gigabyte’s GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards.

Blizzard and Gigabyte have not yet commented on the problem. To temporarily remedy the situation, users recommend other colleagues to limit the frame rate for security reasons. If you have an Nvidia GeForce graphics card, you can reduce the maximum frame rate via the Nvidia Control Panel. The “Maximum Frame Rate” setting is located in the “Global Settings” section, just below the “Manage 3D Settings” section. The problem with bricking graphics cards in Diablo IV is reminiscent of the similar phenomenon that affected the GeForce RTX 3090 in New World.
Originally, the game was blamed for the problem because it did not have a frame rate limiter in the beta, which caused the graphics card to reach unnecessarily high frame rates in the menu and eventually fail. However, it later turned out to be a problem with the solder joints around the graphics card’s MOSFET circuits, which affected the GeForce RTX 3090 and not New World. It is therefore possible that a batch of GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards could have experienced a similar issue.
Playing a beta version of a new game always carries a certain risk, but it should not normally lead to the graphics card being damaged then. Unless there is a previously unknown source of defect that is uncovered by playing Diablo IV.
