Im really hoping it can be fixed or replaced for me. I will be pissed if this bug has fried it and all i get is an expensive doorstop. | ||

I added the two lines (modified the values) and now I have it running at 30 fps in the main menus / 120 fps in game... I can't believe the system didn't crash at 300 fps honestly. Also, before the fix, the game was running around 60 celsius in game... now it's back down to 50 celsius. | ||

Or what does frameratecapglue=30 do? Edit: Seems like frameratecapglue=30 is for the menus and frameratecap=60 is for ingame. | ||

Most games designed for modern hardware are GPU bound, meaning the GPU is pegged at 100% use at all times during gameplay. I always run a monitoring tool and can confirm this to be the case with most games. Starcraft sits between 60 and 100% use for my GPU. A menu running at 300fps might be a bit more intensive than 100% use during gaming, but they are both pegging the GPU at 100% usage. Also, it's totally not blizzards fault. My GPU for example has proper cooling, and even heavily overclocked and overvolted, it peaks at 70c in the menus (safe up to 80-90) with 50% fan usage. I have played games (Shattered Horizon for example) that stress my GPU more than this. The fact is, many GPUs are sadly lacking in cooling systems. At the very least the GPU clock/voltage should tone down at high heat, but most of the time you'll just get kicked back to desktop or reboot instead. A newer CPU for example will always throttle clock speed at high heat. which is a much better solution. If your GPU is crashing during the menus, you should dust out your computer, get better case fans, or invest in a cooling pad for laptop cooling. If you're crashing from the SC2 menu, you'll eventually run into other games that will crash your computer as well (especially those of you with DX10/11 capable cards, true DX10/11 games are extremely stressful on the GPU) This. Especially the "talking out your ass" part. | ||

Other than the 30 cap in menus instead of 60. | ||

This.^^ and i cant believe how many retards are talking out of their asses... any benchmark program will run 100% capacity of the hardware it is supposed to benchmark, be it memory, cpu , northbridge , gpu.... all your parts should be able to handle 24h of benchmark to be labeled stable... im not even going to start quoting all the retarded claims that have been made here.... but just think about what you are saying for a second... hardware has been made to run at a certain clock, if it cant handle it then its faulty ( should have been sold as a lower category but has not been tested enough or if your gpu is the lowest of his series, not sold at all ) or you dont have the proper cooling. all my hardware is overclocked and i have no problem whatsoever with SC2 or any other game for that matter and i ALWAYS uncap my FPS, i shouldnt say always since i have to cap some games since they have not been designed to run with such high fps ( UT2K4 around 2500+ fps start going crazy on the mouse ). | ||
