You don't unless you leave the game menu running for hours while you are alseep, go ride your bike 10 miles etc. I still find all this amusing since no other game limits framerate. Could you imagine a company that makes a fps asking customers to limit framerates?


The important word is MENU, there is just no reason for menu to stress your GPU, FPS players don't need 300 fps in they menu screen either.

Having insufficient protection on hardware to allow easy overheating without any protection is a hardware error.

Ie if software is able to easily destroy hardware then it is clearly an hardware error.

Viruses have been known to permanently harm hardware. See for instance bios bricking of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIH_(computer_virus) , which lead to better bios on motherboards. The point being that unless the hardware is protected the viruses will be able to not only wipe the installation but also to destroy the hardware. Admitadly todays viruses will usually try to hide and not try to destroy or wipe the installation, the point still stands - allowing viruses the ability to destroy hardware is clearly an undesired feature aka bugg/error.

[That said it is still of course an software error if fps goes uncapped]

What about alt tabbing? Does it also stress GPU then? If so then yes you have a reason to leave it open for hours.

I just wished blizzard would fix this problem out right instead of giving temporary fixes that not everyone will know about. I wonder if there is a list of cards that are "immune" to this too.

Ololo they seriously didn't limit FPS in load screens?

Cool.

Just re-iterating what has been said a million times- If your hardware is damaged because it is being "pushed too hard",then your hardware was faulty to begin with. Hardware should be, and is, designed to handle heavy workloads and scale down/shut down as necessary if it is overheating.

Sure, Blizz shouldn't be pushing cards so hard at a menu, but that doesn't excuse your poorly ventilated, cat hair clogged computer from overheating.

People run stress tests all the time on their machines, 24+hrs utilizing max CPU and GPU and RAM... if the hardware is installed and working properly, there will be no problems.
