I have noticed that after the patch, the team overlay when you start a match and the score (if you die) and team overlay with the match's final statistics cause my GPU to shoot up at 100% load.
During the game my GPU is running at a 50-70% load and a cool 65-70 Celsius, with 40-60 fps and GPU fan speed at 2.2 rps, but when those overlays come up at the start of the match and when I die or the match finishes, GPU load goes up to 100% causing some overheating - well, nothing serious, 80 Celsius, but that's the reason I noticed, because when I was staying for a bit longer studying those overlays the GPU fan would go on full rotation trying to cool things down.
I am not saying that this dangerous - though it could be if your GPU card is not well maintained, it could overheat, but it started happening after this patch, so I thought I should let someone know.
I have a nvidia GTX 560 with 1gb vram, latest geforce drivers. Game is running on a system with Win7 64bit, dual monitors, at 1680x1050. The overload happens either in fullscreen or windowed fullscreen mode and it is pretty consistent, I think I got it every match since the last patch.
I can post my directx config or additional details, however at this moment I am not at my home computer.
On a side note, on the game options screen, the directx version selected is Directx9 and I can't change it (it's greyed out). I am pretty sure my card is Directx11 capable, is there something wrong or the game simply runs in Directx9 ?

DX11 isn't in yet, but should be for launch this summer.
And, yeah, the GPU load on the end of match screens has always happened. It's funny, because gameplay keeps my GPU cool but come to the end of a match, it gets right hot. Silly.

Aha, so it was me that just hadn't noticed it until now I guess. Interesting, thank you very much for clarifying this - and the DirectX thing.
