A video game isn't going to break your graphics card, but one that uses a high % of load will definitely push your system's cooling ability.

But even then, unless you've messed around with your GPU's firmware/OC your GPU should shut down long before it got hot enough to actually cause physical damage.

shut off pc, unplug gfx card and reinstall, go back to previous drivers. I knew something wasn't going right with all the betas they released, many more than ever before

Not necessarily.

Turn off the epilepsy filter.

Someone should pull down this thread. it is very missleading and no proof.

Roll back your drivers, Check you are using default settings, Turn IL2 COD to default graphics (normal settings not high).

Be very careful to understand the real reasons for your graphics going the way they are before you start blaming gaming software.

now go reset everything and do some tests.

No game breaks a gfx card. Some games do push the cards but all in all it comes down do keeping the computer cool both internal and environment. That means maintaining the computer by cleaning out dust in fans and other parts. I clean my computer every 3rd month and i have never experienced any overheating issue by doing so. Also, using a fan controller software like "MSI Afterburner" and set up a profile speeding up the fans at certain temps is important. Especially if you are gaming several hours straight. You can also set up hysteresis temps where an alarm goes off when high temps are reached.

There are a lot of ways to protect yourself against overheat. Just my 2 cents
