Sounds like you need a Mineral Cooled Computer? What, The mineral oil gets super hot and wont dissipate heat as fast as the air will? Non sense.

Looks like vsync is indeed messed up, forcing it from the Nvidia panel keeps it at 60fps

@Dourin: There are 7 revisions up until now and some of those were changes like bigger heatsinks or smaller parts which would limit it to roughly 4 major configurations to test on. Having to Q & A 4 different models is infinitely easier and less time consuming than a seemingly endless amount of configurations that any given PC user can come up with. Console gaming is a much more closed circuit thats beneficial to everyone.

Then how does Skyrim on PS3 or that Silent Hill collection thing happen?

The Silent Hill thing is just greed and laziness on Konamis part. I still don't know why things aren't getting coded properly for the PS3 but Bethesda doesn't have the best track record of releasing non-buggy games so thats double trouble.

@Dourin: I will defend the idea behind it sure. If you want to look at the world as black and white then you are definitely welcome to do so.

I have an AMD card. How do I enable VSync? I'm staring at my Catalyst Control Center and can't find the option @_@

Under Gaming>3D Application Settings.

Also, maybe it's because I have a gazillion of fans in my case, I haven't had this issue.

So it's Vertical Refresh and set the thing to Always On, right? Sorry, I'm still kind of new to this whole thing.

Absolutely good sir.

If your videocard overheats it means it's faulty, nothing to do with the game - simple as that.

Every other game it stays around 60c.

Darksiders 2 without forced Vsync: 90c

Darksiders 2 with forced Vsync: 64c

Clearly my card is faulty and there is nothing else going on that could cause it.

It's literally impossible for my GPU to go above around 75c, so I doubt the game is the problem, it's merely putting more load on than norm I suppose which could happen with any intensive title. Check GPU load graphs, it's probably just putting more on than without vsync.

Battlefield 3 heats mine up the most.

Edit: also, 90c is not overheating, IIRC all graphics cards operate until at least 105c with Nvidia usually around 120. (or so they used to)

@Sooty: I know that 90c isn't over heating but it is the highest I've seen my card reach. Nvidias have a built in shutdown at 120c I think, but older cards may not have that.

I did notice that vsync wasn't seemingly to work well natively from the game, didn't think much of it and just forced it through the control panel and it runs really really well, silky smooth :)
