Yeah. I recommended ditching tesselation, not sure if I was the first. I truly can't tell the difference, even when it's fully zoomed. Talk about pushing polygons! With tesselation turned to low, and fog o' war at medium, the card is sitting at ~65-66C during 3D map play, with peaks of 77C, which I think occurs during the leader screens (which I kept at max settings). I think I'll keep it that way. ;^) -- Zag No one ever said on their deathbed, 'Gee, I wish I had spent more time alone with my computer.' ~Dan(i) Bunten
