Shadow of the Tomb Raider for example on a (pair of?) 3090's was shutting down a 1000w PSU due to this variation in device draw despite it not occuring with both cards loaded with furmark

the new world crashes on 3090's was due to this same variation in power draw, except the variance was exceeding the capabilities of the chosen buck converter leading to overshoot and thermal runaway(melting).
Hey again. I have now changed the PSU and the crashes are still happening. Also I have discovered that it's not related to FFXIV, FurMark crashes almost instantly as well. Also older drivers make no difference at all. So it must be the GPU which is dying?
