GPU still over-temping

Its so loud I can hear it playing through my headphones. Why in the world is my GPU temping so high when every other game doesnt get out of the low 70s?

Why is my GPU usge staying pegged at 99%?? There is absolutely NO fluctuation just a straight line. Its not my card, my fan, or my box. Every other game doesnt have this problem.

#1. At least you could bother to tell us what is your video card. OK you are boasting you paid $500 for it so it narrows down the list but you are still not there...

#2. Go to Google and find out what is the thermal limit of your videocard.

#3. Seeing screenshots of GPUs in the 50s and 60s actually means that the game does not fry anything, YOUR CONFIGURATION has the problem! (otherwise everybody's GPU would be frying, right?)

#4. 99% GPU usage means that your GPU is working. At least something is done; Had it been in the 50% you would be posting "THIS GAME DOES NOT USE MY GPU CARD"

#5. If you can hear the sound of the fan while wearing your headphones then you either have lousy headphones or you spent the $500 on the wrong card...

#6. Having worked on points 1-5 the next best thing is to work a bit on the cooling of your PC: Is your card properly "aired" Some people stuck their cards between other cards and the fan does not get proper air to cool the system.
Do you have a fan on the chassis (low) throwing air inside the case towards the GPU?

Happy Flying!
