[Dev] Overtaxation of PC Hardware

[Soukyuu]

So worst case scenario is that the game on PS3 will look much worse than the PC version, but wont be choppy, or fry any PS3's.... Of that you can be sure

Are you really sure about that? I know of a few games that DID run choppy on the PS3... Looking at how SE handles the PC version I doubt they will handle the PS3 one better. Though on the other hand, SE's console titles were more polished.

Yea, It could run choppy... but on a console you'd figure that you have a lot more control (See: complete control) over the hardware being used... and the graphic settings...
Overtaxation of PC hardware, I can see how that could happen
But overtaxation of console hardware seems inexcusable.... You are removing tons of variables. the only variable left is internet connection speeds.... If it is choppy on PS3, it's because it went out the door with the devs knowing exactly how choppy a product they had

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...

If your hardware crosses the meltdown threshold at 100% either you find what's causing it or switch to another brand.

Hardware is made to be run at 100%.

No, I would rather just not play the game, that isn't very good anyway. If ff14 is the only game that's doing this... 1000 other games > 1000 decent games > face book > FF14.

See problem solved, or SE solves it for me.

I don't need a giant portable heater that I have no incentives to keep alive.

"My way or the highway" remarks don't go very far when you're crap.

Delusions of Grandeur usually get the death scythe of reality. That's how it works plain and simple.

ok...
Fine
Run Prime95, OCCT, Furmark and cinebench simultaneously for 30 days straight
according to your logic... everything will be fine

[Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.] These are pure performance issues not overheating. Running a GPU at 100% or a CPU at event hat will shorten its lifespan which is what this is all about.

I better go tell everyone to stop encoding videos and running F@H!

Really this is as bad as the mindset that filling up a HDD over 90% will cause instability.

Stability testing burn in programs are worlds different than what XIV will ever do to your system. Get over the tech hypochondria before you take a couple dozen years off your own lifespan.

Actually even those won't stress it as high as FF14 does at times.

Getting over it means playing another game. In which case SE has two problems related to over taxation of pc hardware
