I’m not even kidding. Game was running great. Fantastic. Then, when I took off in the ship in the tutorial, my computer suddenly shut down and there was a burning smell. I quickly unplugged my pc from the power supply and looked inside and my GPU was spewing out smoke.

AMD Radeon 7900 XTX Merc 310

This is a new pc build that is only a few weeks old.

My entire apartment smells like terrible burning plastic and I’m pissed because I’m going to have to RMA this thing.

What the f***. I even took a video!!

It was SPEWING out smoke at first and I pulled out my phone in a panic to record and got some of the tail end.

I unplugged the third PCie cable after the smoke before the phone by the way, so don’t call me out for that

Edit for adding link to video lol
