Starcraft II could kill your graphics card

One of the most anticipated games in years, Starcraft II is so hot that it can burn up your graphics card. Literally.

The blockbuster has a strange bug that can make your card render the menus over and over again until it overheats. The issue is that the menu’s frame rate is unlocked, which could send your graphics board into a tizzy when it has nothing to do but keep rendering the menu.

Luckily, there’s an easy enough fix to limit the zapping to the game itself and not your PC. Look for the variables.txt file that’s found in the Documents\Starcraft II folder and make the following additions:
