Fried Graphic cards

If you have a high-end graphic card and you want to keep it, make sure you use FPS limiter or other means to limit the FPS to 60 FPS. Pets seems to be a lot more demanding on the graphics then the game was before, so make sure your card is save.

The game itself has no limitation, so you will either need a very good cooling system or to limit the FPS. To check your FPS, use the cheat fps on
