[Dev] Overtaxation of PC Hardware

[Rydin]

I don't.

Unless FFXIV is somehow overclocking your CPU/GPU there can't be overtaxation. Your CPU and GPU go up to 100% load and that's it, no application can squeeze them beyond that point.

That my friend, is what we call semantics....
What over taxes doesn't mean over 100% load... thats impossible...
It means it stresses your system more than games of comparable graphic quality
Like if Solitaire pushed your GPU to 100% load and made the CPU and GPU temps skyrocket... that Solitaire would in fact be overtaxing your hardware
Hardware wasn't meant to run at 100% load round the clock.... prolonged exposure to high temps causes capacitors to go bad very fast...
