Lol I'd expect this from crysis not Starcraft 2

Oops!  Well actually this would be pretty awesome to do.  Kill your (old shitty) card via this, complain to nvidia, and they will most likely send you a shiny new video card as an apology.  Right?  This can totally work.

If said motherboard, processor or graphic card is not under warranty, some gamers are in serious trouble playing intensive games such as Prototype, World of Warcraft, Farcry 3, Crysis and many other games with realistic graphics.
