Hopefully they look into this. In the end we also have to put card manufacturer's in this equation; a lot of them have really bad cooling designs; looking at you EVGA (though they no longer make cards). I personally recommend Gigabyte cards, those dudes over there really know how to make quality stuff.

I agree with OP, make sure to monitor your GPU temps; not just in xiv but in all games. But even more important than that, make sure to update your graphics drivers before you play any new game or new expansion; that will usually prevent some weird GPU operations in specific games as well.

Specially with xiv with all the particle effects.
