I got a fairly fast computer with a GTX 570. Whenever I dock I hear my fans fire up like crazy. Undock and they slow down again. Caveo of Minmatar , torva vacuus regimen of deus es plurrimi periculosus of bestia

same here.
I've got the fps capped at 60 (interval one) as a general safety measure anyway, because I can't normally tell the difference between higher rates.

Originally by: Kahndrian Vochre You may be on to something there as I've noticed from this thread and others the CPU heat issues seems to be happening to people with ATI cards while nVidia cards seem to be the ones having GPU heat issues. Perhaps the code is optimized(I use that term loosely) for nVidia only so ATI cards that can't cope are offloading most of the processing to the CPU?
PhysX is processed on GPU for NVidia, but on CPU for ATI.
I think I'm going to disable CQ from now on to be honest. I cant se why I should risk it. My GPU goes to 70' Celsius when I'm docked, and there is no reason for it to do so as the graphics isnt that demanding. Clearly, there is some bad coding at work here. Theres no way EVE and the CQ should require more power than lets say Crysis 2 on high settings. Caveo of Minmatar , torva vacuus regimen of deus es plurrimi periculosus of bestia

70C on a graphics card is fairly standard for stock cooling under load, if not on the low end (some reach over 90C). It's well within the tolerances for most video cards.
I've found CQ to run fairly smoothly (20-30 FPS) on an older computer E6450 @ 3.1 GHz, 8800GTS (1280x1024). The graphics detail had to be turned down a couple notches but it doesn't look hideous. I think the main issue is far too many people are trying to play with the settings that are a bit beyond their hardware.
Crysis 2, consoles?
I'm no expert. But the data load in CQ shouldn't be that much, especially not on a high end card like the GTX 570. I mean, its just a 3rd person view with some minor details. (?) Caveo of Minmatar , torva vacuus regimen of deus es plurrimi periculosus of bestia
