One Reddit user reported that his Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Ti Vision OC 12G broke after just 20 minutes of gaming. The cutscene in the chapel was at the very moment when his GeForce RTX 3080 Ti broke down, according to the Redditor’s details.

However, users are experiencing crashes during normal gameplay as well.
Reported symptoms are identical across different cases. The system will quickly display a black screen to the user and the graphics card cooling fan will work abnormally. After that he rebooted the system once or several times and still no image from the graphics card. However, it is important to note that this issue does not affect everyone.Several Diablo IV Players report crashes in the beta, but their graphics cards miraculously survived.
User feedback on the original Reddit thread indicates that most of the bricked GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics cards are made by Gigabyte. There were also quite a few cases from unspecified vendors. However, one of EVGA’s GeForce RTX 3080 Tis also reportedly bit the dust. Unfortunately, the problem isn’t limited to his GeForce RTX 3080 Ti. One GeForce RTX 3080 owner and his Radeon RX 6900 XT owner also stepped forward to report a bricked graphics card.

Gigabyte sent the user a replacement but didn’t provide any details on what was wrong with the graphics card. So there seems to be precedent that Gigabyte’s GeForce RTX 3080 Ti graphics card may have issues.
Neither Blizzard nor Gigabyte have spoken on this issue. As a stopgap solution, users are recommending that peers limit the frame rate as a safe measure. Nvidia GeForce owners can limit the frame rate of their graphics card from the Nvidia Control Panel. The “Maximum Frame Rate” option can be found in the “Global Settings” tab just below the “Manage 3D Settings” section.
