Mmmmm.. Not sure on that. Using a regular GTX1080 card myself and my draw distance is pretty good. I can see well in front of me in any direction I go. At work ATM, but I can take screenshots later today to show mine.

Last I heard, 3000 series cards we self-destructing trying to run Valheim.

We are talking about pushing draw distance beyond what you can do with the normal settings, this was made quite clear, as that's what OP asked.

Some of the 3000 series cards were bad, regardless of game. This is typical of a first run of a new generation of cards.
My first RTX 3080 in February died within a week and I didn't even own Valheim at that time. First it crapped out a couple hours into Death Stranding, then faster, then any game that was demanding whatsoever it would die within minutes. Got it replaced (warranty) by mid March and no issues with the new one, including 300+ hours of Valheim with no bugs or crashes whatsoever.
Along with that a significant amount of people upgraded their card without also upgrading cooling and/or power supply to handle the much higher demands and unshockingly have had issues as well, again nothing to do with Valheim or any specific game.
