I have VSync and Triple Buffering enabled by default on my NVIDIA Control Panel, so I guess I'll be safe. Anyone with this problem should use FRAPS to see what FPS they are getting without VSync. I assume that if the GPU is overheating it's because it's drawing a shitload more FPS than it should.
I just turned it on without vsync on to see what my FPS was. I was getting 600FPS on loading screens, 300FPS in the menu, and 100~ while running around.
I was reading some people saying that their Video cards were overheating while playing the game and causing their system to shutdown. I pulled up my hardware monitor and saw that my GPU was topping out a nearly 90C. Every other game takes it to around 60, maybe 65. The cause for this is because Vsync isn't on, and the Vsync toggle in the game doesn't actually work. I would recommend forcing Vsync through your drivers just to be sure you don't cause any damage.
Stopping and staring at the textures makes them look bad, but I think the game looks great in motion with 60+ FPS the whole time. My only real beef is that there is not FOV setting. I like playing at 85 FOV and this game is probably the standard 60 or 70 FOV of console games. Makes my eyes hurt a bit.
