[Dev] Overtaxation of PC Hardware

Ya... don't try and run this game with Windows Vista lol, Vista in itself is a memory hog. go with Win 7.

Having taken an image synthesis lecture this semester, I've been following it with a mix of amazement and anger. Amazement at how good something can look like, how easy it is to implement and anger at how little resources it is taking on a 8600m GT to render compared to FFXIV ...

Best example program they showed had a pretty big landscape, it's texture was computed in realtime and supported proper level of detail, not the crippled SE one. It didn't make the 8600m GT even flinch and it looked as good if not better than FFXIV!

I am aware that many different things combined put much more load on the GPU and that example had no trees etc, but it was still much more optimized than what we see here.

Though I agree win7 is the way to go, this myth never dies, doesn't it... ah well, I should really stop caring.

Here on a gtx 460 SE never over 63 C° with all high and 1920x1080P and depth of field+phi

And processor (I7 2600k 3.8 ghz) never reach 53 C°

With older VGA driver sometimes I reach 75 C°

Well some GTX 460 came with a custom cooler, MSI, Gigabyte, Asus, it is only the ones that came with a stock cooler that seem to have an issue.
