My system specs are
OS = Windows 7 x64 SP1
MEM = 16Gb Ram
CPU = i7-2600 @3.4Ghz
GPU = AMD Radeon HD 6900 2Gb using latest non-beta drivers version 12.104.0.0
SWTOR Loc = System drive
HDD = 1.5 Tb fast Sata
When playing SWTOR after the last patch unless the graphics settings are set to low my GPU fan is constantly running at high speed, even at medium graphics settings it works harder than usual
1) System is regularly cleaned so no unusual build up of dirt/fluff in PC interior or fans,
2) I have rolled back the graphics driver to 2 prior versions with no change,
3) Reset DiskCacheArena,
4) SWTOR is the only game where this happens I also play the following games at max settings on the machine World of Warcraft, Unreal III, Diablo III, Starcraft II, World of Tanks, World of Warplanes, Dead Space 3 and Crysis 3, I realise they use different engines but I can still play them all at max settings without my GPU struggling.
Q) Is anyone else seeing such behaviour ?
Kind Regards
