Quote: on the menu my fps is sometimes as high as 130 and it burns up my video cards, in game my fps goes to 90-100 sometimes and i have to restart the game in order to fix the problem, just letting you guys know, i have two nvidia 9800s linked with a sli bridge http://forums.battle.net/thread.html?topicId=23425636571&sid=5000 Quote: Some systems may reach high temperatures and overheating conditions while running StarCraft II. This is mainly due to the video card rendering the screens at full speed. As a workaround, there are two lines that you can add to your Documents\StarCraft II Beta\vari ables .txt file to limit this behavior. Code: Frameratecapglue=30 Frameratecap=60 Quote: The frameratecapglue controls the framerate at the menu screens. The frameratecap controls the framerate on all other screens. You may adjust these numbers to your liking.

I had no problems. My video card sucks, however, so the settings were low. |

Lol if a graphics card can't handle running at full speed I would consider it broken in the first place. A lot people use them for intense highly parallel calculations these days - they gotta deliver what they were made for! |

Running SC2 at the lowest settings is running at the highest speed of my card. Actually, slightly higher; it lagged a ton. I stuck to the editor. |

The fix is easy, requiring players to add the following lines to your "Documents\StarCraft II Beta\variables.txt" "Documents\StarCraft II\variables.txt" file (nice catch, commenter LegolElf): frameratecapglue=30 frameratecap=60 |

I would set both options to whatever your monitor's refresh rate is. |

HEY!!! Who posted this originally? It looks like I am the original poster, but I only replied with a fix. |
