The New World beta in question did not implement a frame rate limiter in the menu system, which many released games include. That could cause a GPU to suddenly go from an in-game frame rate of 100 fps to roaring along at 800 fps. It’s akin to driving a car at full throttle going up hill and accidentally putting the car into neutral. If you don’t lift your foot, the engine revs into its redline.

If it is not a fan controller issue, what they describe is a silicon or silicon to heat sink issue. A momentary transient heat issue ("full throttle") should be fully absorbed by the cooling system. If it is not, that means either the heat can't escape the IC to the silicon (design failure) or the silicon can't transfer to the cooling system (no thermal compound, not properly installed or heat sink not properly attached).
This is why running a modern amd/intel CPU without a heatsink is a bad idea. At least those have bulletin in throttling. Without that, they are instant toast.
What they are describing is a serious issue.
nothing to do with framerates and everything to do with thermals, dont make a card that you have to fucking throttle to even function
Bro cherish your Pepe... you never know how long he'll be there.
