Never experienced this before the patch but I was aware of it for other players....

ATTACK OF THE POLYGONS!


This is the first time it has happened for me. Not sure if it's a one off event or if it's going to be a regular occurence. Figured I'd post here to see if anyone else had experience this. When it happened here, I was editing the load out on my DDC in the mechlab.

I will post back here if I notice anything else or if it happens again.

Your DDC build is too awesome. You broke the mechlab. Congrats!

In all seriousness, what temp was your video card running at when it happened? MSI Afterburner is a good tool to use to monitor your CPU and GPU temps, usage, etc if you don't already have one.

Haha I wish that was the case! #DDC2Awesome4U!

In all seriousness, when this happened I had just opened MWO and hadn't even dropped yet so I doubt heat was the issue. Going forward though, I'll keep an eye on temps to see if there is any relationship between the polygons and overheating. Good suggestion!

Yeah, one would think that just sitting in the mechlab your GPU wouldn't heat up. The trouble with MWO and video cards is that it's almost an all or nothing concept. If MWO is on, it beats the **** out of your card. A guy in my corp actually has to Alt-Tab away from the game between matches to keep his card from melting. =)

Sitting idle in the mechlab, my Nvidia GTX 675M sits at about 80C in a 72F room. According to MSI Afterburner, my GPU is under ~80% load during those times (wholly unacceptable, but that's the state of the game currently).

I hope this helps and honestly pray that this isn't your issue.
