Agreed. From what I've read Radeon graphics have a hard time with this game. I've tried adjusting settings back and forth in game and in my control center outside of the game with no improvements. The second I start up the game my video card fan starts running like wild. When I alt-tab out of the game my video card fan spools down; When I alt-tab back into the game my video card fan starts to spool up like crazy again. It's overheated my video card multiple times.

Like you say other hardware intensive games (Crysis, Skyrim etc) run without any problem on max graphics. My computer is freshly cleaned, up to date and has no airflow problems as you have stated.

This is somewhat disappointing as the game itself seems great. I will hold out hope that it gets optimized. As it is still a new game I understand that there could be/are unforeseen problems. I just hope that this gets fixed in a timely manner.

If you find any fixes please do share with the community.
