once the flames hit.. the 15fps flames.. it revs the fuck out of the ps4pro fans.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
I've never particularly understood what it is about 2D menu overlays that sends PS4's into "HARRIER JUMPJET LIFTOFF" mode, but its been a thing about the console since launch.
I'm having trouble understanding why it's on software developers to ensure that a GPU won't overheat from being understressed. I understand that it's "simple enough" to implement an FPS cap, but what's the difference between a GPU running at full blast rendering as many frames as possible and a GPU running at full blast rendering, say, a 20fps chop-fest?
Am I wrong to think that neither of these scenarios should pose a threat to hardware? If so, why?

That... doesn't really help me understand the issue, unfortunately. :/
If I go and build an uncapped basic OpenGL scene and leave it running on my gaming PC, should I expect my GPU to have physical problems and not consider it nVidia's fault? Wondering if there are any good articles on this.

Wow, holy fuck at the PS4. That would drive me mad.
Good thing I never use the Blacksmith in Nioh.

My copy is coming tomorrow and reading the posts in here is a little concerning. Is it a simple problem to avoid? Has there been any acknowledgement of this by the devs?
None that I've seen no.
Yes, it's easy to avoid. You only see the blacksmith between missions. Just make sure you don't leave the console running while you're there.
In my experience it doesn't stay constant either. It does eventually calm down.

Doom does this too, so does Uncharted. Why is this still a thing.
Seems like something cert should be checking for and asking devs to change.

So the mod edit is false?
