Some GPUs, such as the RTX 3080 Ti, experience “brick” when playing the Diablo 4 beta

With Diablo 4’s early access beta last week and a public beta scheduled for this weekend, the world of PC gaming is in full swing. Users who didn’t participate in the early access beta will be aiming for the open beta this weekend, but caution should be exercised if you’re using a specific GPU model.

Some early Diablo 4 players have reported seeing their graphics card crash during the new game. This includes both AMD and Nvidia.

Several parts of the gaming community have reported unexpected GPU errors after playing Diablo 4 for around 20 minutes. It was different from normal Windows graphical crash. Although few users have experienced this phenomenon, It has been reported that Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 Ti has the most issues and the target device does not cover manufacturers such as Gigabyte and EVGA. At least one user of the slightly less powerful RTX 3080 and Radeon RX 6900 XT encountered the problem. At the time of writing, it is estimated that around 20 users have encountered the issue.

Graphics card abnormalities cause the PC to freeze or generate errors, and in some cases, information about a problem with the cooling fan is displayed. Even after restarting, the video does not play unless the graphics card is manually changed or reassigned to integrated graphics. Returning and exchanging products is the best option at the moment. This reminds me of the incident where Amazon’s New World game crashed the RTX 3090.

However, there are not many absolute users who have encountered the problem, so it seems that there will be no great difficulty for ordinary players to play Diablo 4. Even if you multiply by 10 the number of people currently active on foreign forums, they will remain a tiny minority of the total number of beta players. However, Blizzard, Nvidia, and various partners will have to pay attention to the problem and try to determine the cause.
