GPU runs VERY VERY HOT
Hi everyone, I have the PC version of DAI, and it runs very hot on my crossfired 7950's. I mean, ridiculously hot that I'm worried that it might damage my cards. I'm hitting the 90's sometimes durin...

Ya the game does use a ton of GPU. My GTX 680oc/oc windforce will run at 99% with 100% fan use at about 72c which is high.
I am really hoping that there is another patch soon that will optimize the engine better but it has been over a month since patch 2 so.....
What settings are you using ingame?
I have a gtx 660 windforce and it is also constantly at 99%. My case keeps it pretty cool at about 65C but that is still hotter than any other game I play.
Most games the gpu will get a break when you are in menus. In Skyrim my gpu will downclock when in the menu keeping the overall temps low. But in DA:I the gpu is constantly maxed which I think is causing a lot of player's gpus to overheat.
I hope it is possible with this engine for it to stop rendering when in menus. I spend a lot of time looking at gear or reading at the war table. Those are perfect times to let my gpu cool a little.
