Please post some pictures of MSI afterburner video card specs etc. I would bet you that your video card is running 73C in game when playing XIV.
G73's are the ones with the giant jet vents on the back. My friend played on one back in beta and rarely hit 60C.
My G60 however has a standard side vent, and can run a bit hot. It used to run at about 74~89C until I updated drivers.

Same results here, more or less. Went from the above temps to running 60~72C.
There is work to be done on both ends, as Square needs to further optimize the engine and NVidia needs to optimize drivers.
