AMD quad core(3GHz) and a GTX 460
I can easily hold 60fps on most detail settings, but the slideshows become less frequent if I turn details down
Annoys the shit out of me...
Like I said, it's been brought to HiRez's attention dozens of times but they haven't done shit to fix it

Oh I get it now. It's one of their shitty pre-requisite that messed with my GPU. It now stays at 43C on Mass Effect 3 and I get noticable lag even in menus as well, just like Tribes.
EDIT: Okay so, with all that in mind, I have been putting my computer in sleep mode for 2-3 days, a reset really did fix the problems in Mass effect 3.
I did however nuke everything related to Tribe in a desperate attempt to bring my fully operational GPU. :>
BTW I was derpy enough to think the tank-like vehicle morphed into a Striker last night, so there you had me trying all the possible keys on the keyboard, I hit G, my character exits the tank, the gunner takes first seat, I'm like, whatev's, I was getting bored anyway. *puts last 3000k on another tank and go get raped in enemy base, leave the game*
I only wanted to play Jugg after I tried all the classes.

Indoor combat is fun, outdoor annoys me, especially CTF
I haven't tried their take on Domination yet, so that might be less annoying than CTF is

1- I've decided to start playing after the major FPS issues were solved, but now I have another one, at least it concerns me quite much.
You see, the game uses about 30% of my GPU, yet my GPU temps barely reach 70C. That's not usual, unless I'm playing BF3 or something, on my native Desktop resolution, and BF3 uses 100% GPU at most.
So I've tried to limit the FPS to 60, use Vsync on and off, Framerate Smoothing on and off, nothing worked. The game runs fine and everything, but why does it uses 30% of my GPU and it gives it so much heat?
2- Also. Shrikes, can you steer other than the mouse? I've been flying the thing around with the mouse sensitivity cap, I was under the impression that you can steer it using the keyboard.

This game is pretty fun, almost level 7 now. Running on very high at 2560x1440 with no issues (570gtx).
Pathfinder with the explosive bolt launcher ftw

Kantham: As long as there is some load on the GPU it will get hot. Doesn't really matter if it's on 100% or not.
Started playing yesterday, not gotten too far just yet. Came second in my first game, then didn't do so well thereafter.
Alias is 'ambershee' as always if you want to friend it up.
I'm running it on a 9800GT on max settings (720p), and it's smooth sailing on 60fps

I'm going to get picky with your use of "giving so much heat" in hopes it helps you understand better:
A) 100% usage, 60% fan speed, 70 degrees
B) 30% usage, 40% fan speed, 70 degrees
Example A is giving off FAR more heat and would heat a small room far faster than example B, despite the temperatures feeling the same to touch. The card is doing far more work, drawing far more power and therefor has far more energy to disperse.
And so...
...fan controllers target a margin in temperatures. It doesn't matter how much load your GPU is under, the fan speed is just going to adjust to keep the temperature within a variable threshold. The whole point is so the cards fan is only spinning as fast (and more importantly, as loud) as it has to be.
The plasma gun is absurd, kills any Heavy players in no time. In before hotfix.

Yea, HiRez's sense of balance is wonky at best and seems rather prone to who whines the most/loudest versus actual balance
Plasma gun in previous tribes did have AOE effect, but I'm not sure if it was so easy to use. It could do with less ammunition, that's for damn sure. 5 in the magazine and 25 in reserve. It's just too easy to mid-air with the thing. I had 9 midairs an earlier game.
