[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1507017, member: 24098"] Regardless of the load, it still shouldn't exceed the thermal capacity of the system. If it's doing that, then there's an issue for sure. But I agree with your premise, this may be a software issue in that the OS X drivers may scale the GPU back (think clock speed) to overcome the deficiencies in the NVIDIA chip. Whereas the Windows drivers may not have similar design compromises. [/QUOTE]
