    Using a laptop that barely meets requirements for the game ;D

    GPU usually gets to around ~90C or so normally when running around gathering and whatnot, ~70-80C when fighting NMs

    The hottest I ever saw it get to was 113C ; ; I need a new computer.

    The hotter the hardware the better the heatsink works <.<
    80°C is pretty normal for a desktop GPU running this game. 100°C is normal for a mobile CPU running this game. If you don't like that your only option is to get a better heatsink :P

    Not really... The normal maximum temp of every GPU is in the 90~°C. If you hit around that you should be worried...

    Wrong. The maximum temperature for GPUs is often over 100°C. Only some newer nvidia models can't take that much and end up with a maximum temperature of 99°C. And what in that post of me that you quoted there are you even denying???
    I don't see any claims about any maximum temperature there. I just stated what is normal for GPUs in this game.
    But as I said there is no need to worry as long as your fan works correctly. It will spin up before reaching the maximum temperature and the hotter the GPU is the easier is it to cool it down.
