Agreed, my new Nvidia 470 will make the fan run up to 100%. I use EVGA Precision to setup a fan speed related to temperature rise at about 60C it ramps up to 100%. A few days ago while running SH5 sans the EVGA Precision I did get some artifacts on one screen. I did an Exit, started up EVGA Precision note GPU at 80C, the fan ramped up to 100% and the temps started down to about 45C at idle.

On the graph SH5 utilizes about 100% of GPU. Nice to see these cards starting to shoulder the workload! Graphically with TDW's mods SH5 is gorgeous and runs smooth as silk.

I am putting an after market heat sink and three large fan setup on my EVGA 470, I am tired of the loud fan noise and this will bring the temps down by about 10C.
