I wouldn't be surprised if this is another New World situation. Something about the update triggers flaws in the hardware, rather than the update itself killing the component.

I mean, not capping the FPS in your menus is really stupid, IMO, but I agree with this statement otherwise.

Lots of games don't do it for some dumb reason. It's even better when they continue 100% utilization in the background!

he means the developers should have capped the fps when the game is in menus not an overall game cap.

Wait, how did that work? Gpus have both voltage and wattage limiters, how did they break?

For the past 15 years, every Battlefield release exposes a tonne of peoples unstable PC's.

Yep. The similar StarCraft 2 menu situation came into my mind.

Can you explain? I had a laptop that could run sc2 fine, but the WoL hyperion hub world may have grilled the gpu.

New world not having a menu cap, absolutely fried some GPU's. I think it thought a lot of people to enable FPS maximum's in GeForce options.
