“Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced (Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Remastered Edition/Assassin’s Creed: Black Flag Remastered Edition)” has been a topic of discussion since its release, but recently an outrageous incident has been reported. When a player was playing a game using ZOTAC GeForce RTX 5090 SOLID, about 5 minutes into the game, the computer suddenly made a crackling sound, followed by a large amount of smoke, and the graphics card was reimbursed on the spot. After the news was exposed, it immediately aroused heated discussions among players.
With a “bang”, 5090 graduated directly on the spot!
According to players, the graphics card had been in normal use for about a year before the incident, and had just recently been updated with NVIDIA’s latest GeForce driver. Unexpectedly, about 5 minutes after playing “Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced”, the computer suddenly made a loud popping and crackling sound, followed by thick smoke and immediately shut down. Judging from the public photos, the burned location is not the 12V-2×6 power interface, which was the most common problem in the past, but near the PCIe interface of the graphics card. There are also obvious burn marks around the motherboard slot.
It is currently speculated that the accident may be related to a capacitor short circuit, PCB micro-cracks, or other hardware failures. However, so far, there is no evidence that “Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced” or the latest NVIDIA driver directly caused the explosion.
5090 again? Players are beginning to worry about hardware quality
Since the launch of the RTX 5090, there have been controversies such as black screens and meltdown of the power supply interface. Now there are cases of direct burning of the graphics card, which naturally makes many players more alert. However, judging from the current information, this is still a single case, and the real cause still needs further investigation by ZOTAC or relevant units.
All I can say is that “Assassin’s Creed Black Flag Resynced” is really “burning” this time. It’s just that everyone originally thought that the performance of the graphics card was burned, but unexpectedly, it almost actually burned the graphics card. I hope it is just a few hardware failures in the end, otherwise the price of the most powerful graphics card of this generation will be too high.
