I have an air cooled system, nVidia 6800Ultra OC.
Recently I installed Elder Scrolls: Oblivion, and have had major heat issues, causing artifacting, crashes, etc. I removed the side from my PC, which took care of the heat issues.
Oblivion is the first Havoc game I've played extensively (Some D&D Online), but untill now, I have never experienced heat issues with my PC, which is well maintained and well ventilated.
My point here is this... in using the GPU to process extensive Physics calculations, will nVidia and ATI be placing undue heat stress on the GPU, which could potentially be easily offset with a PPU?
