guess i'll try the windowed mode hack thing and see if my temp will raise too much. But i doubt that's it because while gaming with any other game on max settings it goes around 80C and a GPU will run passed 100C and be fine.

Plus i don't get why forcing AA through ATI control center will bring the same result but it does it as soon as i open the game so it looks to me like a major bug somewhere. I would really like for SE to look into this...
download a program like hwmonitor(or any program that logs comp temp), let it run in the background, run ffxiv for 5-10mins if you can, once done, check ur max temps.

anything over 85-90 is bad, especially over long periods of time

im usually around 80 so its not too bad. i ran eyefinity just to test it and even on the lowest settings, which was still pretty high res, it was really sluggish. not worth until the next gen of gpus, or whenever the price of the 6990s go down
