Some users are experiencing a disastrous side effect of playing the DiabloIV open beta -- their GPUs are dying.
Following last weekend’s Diablo IV open beta, reports came flooding in saying that the game might be breaking Nvidia graphics cards. This means various crashes and subpar performance, as well as even outright dead GPUs.
Related Videos After a long wait, many players rushed to play Diablo IV during its open beta weekend. The anticipated entry in one of Blizzard’s most successful franchises is not one of the most demanding games this year, so the majority of modern gaming rigs should be able to handle it just fine — and they did. Most PCs came out unscathed, but some users were met with a very unpleasant surprise when their GPUs stopped working.
Those who ran into problems rushed to Reddit and Blizzard forums to report the issue. Some gamers experienced crashes, including monitors turning themselves off and players needing to reboot the entire PC. Others, like mkp0203 on Reddit, saw their graphics card completely die. The problem is not quite so severe for everyone, and it’s hard to estimate how many users are affected by this. Amazon’s New World initially suffered from a similar problem, and it also bricked some of the best GPUs, including the RTX 3090 Ti.
