Fried a perfectly good Radon RX5700. have always been able to play graphic intense games on my pc. however after playing this game for 144 hrs. started with periodically crashes once every 2-4 hrs. then gaps tightened. reduced all settings. no over clocks no enhancements. only undervolting the gup. Due to New worlds insane power spikes 30-60 volt +. card can no longer run any games now PERIOD. have plenty of pictures of the main board of the GPU.
Now I Don't want everything in this review to be me just bashing the game, Because the time i did get in the game was really good. Really liked the game play, the grinding,combat system, graphics, as well as the over all the feel of the game. Made it to level 45 with a loads of skills. and nothing but excitement for high level expeditions, skull zones, and areas.
i obviously liked the game or else i wouldn't have had 144hrs into the game..
HOWEVER: Now if you asked if i would recommend this game i would have to say NO. Due to the fact that i cant guarantee anyone is safe to play this game without the risk of compromising/breaking their hardware. In a time that computer components are near impossible to come by and if you do find parts you are forced to pay double if not triple msrp. Due to scalpers.
IN CONCLUSION: YES i enjoyed the game. just super frustrated to be forced to stop playing cold turkey. with no chance to even play other games on my computer anymore now.. so no i cant i clear conscience recommend a game that has claimed many number of cards. be it software from the game, or caused by the hardware. wherever the fingers get pointed. Unless we get a hook up on another GPU or find one at msrp. My time in NEW WORLD has come to an unfortunate abrupt close.
