[Dev] Overtaxation of PC Hardware

[MonsieurVerde]

Nvidia always runs hotter then ATi that's just the way it is, I always assume 3-4C is environment based, Nvidia runs 7-10C hotter then ATI always as the threshold is 110C so basically my GPU is running similar to yours, but once again that makes it a Client issue.

How is it a client issue? Do you know how often the frame buffer is accessed in an MMO? Something or other is constantly being loaded to and from memory and textures are constantly being drawn...Further modified by high AA and high level drawing options.

Few other games need to tax a GPU as much. Except Crysis...but that's far more poorly optimised than FFXIV. >_>
