After downloading patch 3.0 I logged into the main screen and was immediately called away from the computer.
When I returned I could audibly hear the fans on my GFX card which almost never happens.
When I checked my card was 93 degress C and running the main screen at 265 fps. Fortunately I was only called away for 10 minutes! This is really bad and should be fixxed asap.
Starcraft 2 had this same problem and blew out many customers GFX card, well one is more than enough imo.

Re: Main Screen FPS is not capped in x3:TC 3.0
I know, this thread is quite old. But because of my own experience on my new system, i post my solution here. Hope this helps others with the same problem:
For newer AMD cards (i have an RX470) there is also a new "Radeon Software", where one can set such options. If i just force "vsync" there, it does also not working, and X3TC climbing up to insane high fps. But "Radeon Settings" also have an option called "Frame Rate Target Control" in the same tab as you can the vsync option. Enable FRTC and set it to 60 fps works like a charme, i have now 60 fps in X3TC.
Maybe this helps others and eventually the nvidia settings have something similiar? I don't know for sure about nvidia, because i have none, sorry.

Posting this once is fine, but dredging up every 8 year old thread on the topic to post it repeatedly is really unnecessary. Please stop it.
