No it wasn’t. The framerate bug just found faults in the cards. Most of them were the 30x0 models and most were also Gigabyte. They bought bad components that would not be exposed most of the time unless pushed for a good length of time which this game can do.

This guy did his homework.
What exactly is the “game’s intended frame rate?” Is it posted somewhere?
Also, it’s clear you never played FPS games. There is real reason to have frames higher than the monitor’s Hz.
This game is designed to be optimal around 60fps, just like skyrim, and many other games. I am not sure if d4 was designed with creation engine, though I could find out if i wanted…
i just installed the game like 2 days ago and i got a msg from the game client that my drivers need updating. After updating running at 1080p max settings with 0 issues.
Where is that posted? You are literally pulling that out of your butt.

When they told users to lock the games FPS at 60, if you want to remove risk of damage 3080s.

I dont have it, i read it on this forum on friday, when reports of bricks first occured. that thread has like 1200 pages. Feel free to dig.
Not Blizzards fault your hardware or hardware drivers were faulty. It really sucks but it’s on the cards manufacturer.

I am sure lots of other people here saw it to, otherwise the whole ‘lock your card at 60’ wouldnt be common knowledge.
You do what you want, idc, update your card or dont, lock your fps or dont.
GL. 
The good news is most of the 30x0 cards should be still under warranty at under a year. My first call would be to the manufacturers and not the forums.

It’s obviously not common knowledge if there’s multiple reports of GPU related issues.

“Thread has like 1200 pages”
-Meanwhile the thread you linked has 92 posts.
If the game was “Designed” to be capped at 60, they would post it in the recommended specs or somewhere extremely visible.
You linked a thread with no Blue posts. Blizzard did not say anything about it.

well I havnt looked at it in 2 days. I figured it would be longer by now. You wanna qq or you wanna call me liar, or just admit that 60fps lock is optimal for this game, for the time being.

We all saw it. Where the hell were you? Not being able to immediately recall where information originated does not make said information wrong. That’s a stick-in-butt way to try to win an argument, not seek the truth.
