VRam Memory Leak causes whole System Crashes

A lot of people are reporting a VRam leaks on Discord and i am having issues with it as well. Even in the Main Menu the game takes 8GB of Vram. In-Game it uses the whole 16GB of my GPU. Hope this can be fixed during the beta because it also crashes the whole GPU and PC after playing for too long. I hope Blizzard does something before GPUs start taking serious damage.
/edit saw that this was already an issue during Early Access. Weird that Blizzard did not delay the Beta until this issue is fixed as it can actually harm your system.

I can confirm that, screen went black about 5 mins in game and the system shut itself down. Running a full system test now.

I think the high-resolution textures are to blame. When running with them, the game used 7.8 gigabytes of video memory and this is only in the menu. After deleting them, there are only 5 gigabytes

I rebooted my System and lowered the resolution to 1080p and limited the FPS to max60 after that the game just crashed. Had a couple of diagnosis tools running, it showed the game drawed max available power in the main menu and the temp went up to 90degrees after 1 min, VRAM went even higher.

Edit II : interesting, tested a couple of other games, most of them just crash now

Edit III : opened the Systems Case, im pretty sure somethings burned up in there.
