2ndLt Johansen had a similar problem to this. Check to see if you have the latest graphics driver for your card.

I monitored some specs such as CPU and GPU temps. CPU and GPU usage etc. All temperatures were running fine with the game running, though the CPU usage was peaking at 90% and higher. It looks like the processor is making more work of the game than need be. I'm not exactly amazing at fixing these things so maybe that will be of some help. CPU usage was the only thing spiking. Everything else was running as expected.

I will give it a go when I can get my hands on some more. Thanks, Whitby.

So it's been a really warm last few days in the usual rainy, wet and otherwise miserable UK. Today, for example, with lows of 24 degrees Celsius (75 F) and highs of 26-27 Celsius (78 F). My GPU at idle temperature, with fans going about 50%, is sitting around 50C/122F. On attempting to play ArmA, after several minutes it skies up to 99C/210F. I presumed it would be a cooling issues, but all the fans in my case are working, along with the GPU fan itself. I have installed all the latest drivers etc. It's a Nvidia GTX 580 second hand reference card, by the way. Any advice on this would be appreciated!
