Devs,

I always wondered why my computers fans where screaming when I walked away and got idle disconnected. After logging back in my computer would actually get quieter.... so i was always con-fuddled over it. I just installed an MSI 560Ti and I happened to install the monitoring/overclocking utility. I found something very interesting.

At the login and character selection screen (when disconnected after idle time out or when logged out to) GPU usage sky rockets around 80 to 100%, however in game during normal play with all the settings set to max, my CPU usage hovers around 60%

Do you guys limit the frame rate at the login screen? I think 110 FPS is a little much for a login screen.....
