This happened during the beta test.
On the official Blizzard forums during the Diablo 4 beta test that took place over the weekend, there were messages from some users who confirmed that their video cards “burned out” because of this game.
A user named AsaSenpai addressed the issue, stating, “A few minutes later, Diablo 4 burned my RTX 3080 TI.” At first, some considered him a troll, but then other users began to complain about the problem.
My video card burned out too. While playing, the fans of my Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080 Ti suddenly started running at maximum speed. At the same time, the signal from the monitor disappeared. After turning off the power, I could no longer get the card to work. She’s less than a year old. This happened during the cut-scene with flowers, when they showed a snowy landscape.

‘Diablo 4 killed my RTX 3080 Ti’ – users report ‘burned out’ Nvidia graphics cards
After a crash, the video card is not displayed in the system. The PC uses the graphics processor of the motherboard.

I got to the church where the flashback scene is playing, then the fans on my GPU turned up to max, all three monitors went dark, and I unplugged the power. I smelled burnt electronics. I waited a bit, then tried to turn it on again, but the monitors remained black. My Gigabyte GeForce RTX 3080TI no longer works.
