Performance Tip: Turn off Vsync

Could a graphics card go too hot if frame rates were to go to the hundreds? It's something that allegedly was an issue earlier with Eve online.

To be honest I have to say I never figured out if cards really ran hot with fps going into the hundreds.

I did encounter that in EVE (250 fps+ needed to lower some setting to get lower fps but not slower performance) and also in LoTR online, but I don`t think it would be issue since you won`t get that high FPS here.

Well, it's a choice between two evils. Either lower performance or horrendous screen tearing. With a strong card i would definatly use Vsync.
