One way to prevent this issue is to limit the maximum frames per second (fps) on your GPU and not just in the game. In any case, if you want to be extra safe, you probably don’t have to avoid the game entirely. Amazon’s New World initially suffered from a similar problem, and it also bricked some of the best GPUs, including the RTX 3090 Ti. The problem is not quite so severe for everyone, and it’s hard to estimate how many users are affected by this. Had to restart my PC and the motherboard is now posting error code 97. “While playing Diablo for about 20 minutes, during a cutscene in the chapel, my monitors turned off. Others, like mkp0203 on Reddit, saw their graphics card completely die. Some gamers experienced crashes, including monitors turning themselves off and players needing to reboot the entire PC. Those who ran into problems rushed to Reddit and Blizzard forums to report the issue. It appears that cards made by other manufacturers are safe, but it never hurts to take extra precautions until Blizzard or Nvidia addresses the issue.

So far, all reports point to there being a problem with one specific type of card - Nvidia’s RTX 3080 Ti, manufactured by Gigabyte.
