COD is overtemping my GPU

Mate, how I wish we could say that. Instead, bad optimization is the answer...

Yeah, just being positive here. lol

Mine is the opposite, I have a gtx295 that runs at about 85 degrees in all other games but sits at around 63 in COD (it idles @59), dosent seem to be working it at all. Frame rates are still poor, maybe cause the 295 runs in sli?

Yes, sounds like the next patch will address SLI support and hopefully this will include multi-GPU.

I'm sorta hoping 1C release the coming fixes one at a time (in quickish succession)... ya know, make sure one is working correctly first then introduce the next fix, then the next, etc

Sounds like that's what they will do. First address the foundation-level performance issues like framerate (e.g. SLI) and stuttering (e.g. better CPU usage) and then the rest. I think that making the game playable for the majority will result in a flood of FM etc bugs - already a lot on the list but what else could you expect.

Yeah I just hope that somehow the optimizations fix my temps...as you can see my GPU usages stays pegged at 99 percent with no fluctuation during the game. Thats an awful heavy load. Somethings gotta be wrong wit hth eway the game is using my card.
