The Division Beta Thread: Make Manhattan Great Again

So I've been playing a little of The Division beta, and based on that I have three general questions that I hoped some of you could answer for me:
1) Apparently my card (Sapphire 280X Dual-X) got as hot as 91 degrees Celsius. I can't recall it ever getting this hot with Witcher 3, MGS 5, Crysis 3 etc. I've been told AMD cards tend to get hot in general, but isn't 91 degrees pushing it?
2) Basically a follow-up to the first question, despite being so hot, the fans were relatively silent (1430 RPM/25% according to the above image). Is that normal? If not, how can I manually change it?
3) What's the difference between the two above RAM numbers? I have 8GB 1600MHz, so I assume it's the left number (5682MB) it used during gameplay, but what's up with the 9.5GB RAM, what does that mean?

They went Rogue.
I don't care about them i am impressed and it is fun to play. I like my loot rpg's and leveling up my character.

Most pobably you're in DarkZone. Also those skull above the player means that he/she is Rogue agent. Killing them won't make you Rogue. However, If you shoot non-hostile agents, that will make you Rogue.

Use MSI afterburner to create a manual fan curve or to force a constant fan %. Your fans are not ramping up with higher utilisiation and heat (hence the 91 C temp). They should.
The one on the left is your system RAM usage in total (not necessarily committed to the game .exe). The one to the right of that is total virtual memory in-use.

this is not making me happy to get home.....what the hell. Is it worse than the xbox one version?
Hope Digital Foundry has a really good article for this game later today or tomorrow.

No. It doesn't.
Playing the PC version at 1440p all settings maxed SSAA, and then jumped straight into the PS4 version. It hold up fantastically. Great IQ, lighting, draw distance, no loading, etc.
I honestly don't get this. Are you speaking from personally playing it, or from the screenshots. I was pretty happy with what I saw today on the PS4 as well as my time with the Xbox One version yesterday. Was impressed how both looked tbh
that means the went rouge for attacking another player, if you can take them down you get dark zone xp along with some dark zone currency, keep in mind that you will be marked aswell. its quite thrilling when six players are trying to gun you down and you escape

Typically all reflections you see in games are just cubemaps, they don't track characters or objects. In The Division a large amount if not all of the reflections track characters and objects, in an open world game no less.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
Sometimes when I open a bag(chest) there's a white pillar of light.. and a bag icon.. but I can't do anything with it? No button prompt, walking over it does nothing.. it just stays there.
Xbox One... anyone?
Xbox One... anyone?
ah ok lol
Thx for the explanation.
Finally starting to understand this game.
Hyperbole must be strong with some folks lol.
If xbox one alpha looked amazing to me.....I highly doubt the PS4 version will dissapoint
Yup ps4 here

I ended up getting access to both PS4 and Xbone, I'll boot up both and put my dude in the same location and compare and report later.
Normally it means you have the max amount of whatever your trying to pick up, which is normally a medkit or ammo.
Noticed this too, probably just a bug.
Marvel
could never
do you guys happen to notice a little text pop up above your character that says inventory full? It's was the same case in alpha. You might be full on that item already like water, nades, bullet types.
It happens when the stuff inside can't be picked up because you're full for that particular item (ammo, medkits etc).
That's my understanding of it anyway.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Stop reading this topic and make your own judgement when you get home than.
Or wait for the Digital Foundry video.

Strange, maybe a bug.. maybe what Zeta Oni says... I'm not at full ammo or med kits.. so I don't think it's that.. annoying though.
Happened twice now.

Anyone else run into an issue on the PC where it will basically run 60 FPS and then stop for a split second then continue?
Also, that bag icon, I got it as well.

I remember when people said this about Just Cause 3... Look how that turned out. I'm sure the ps4 version looks great.

Wonder if they played the hospital mission on hard. It's low level content at the moment. The challenging aspects available is the hard mission and the dark zone.
Have you guys played the mission on hard mode yet? Come back and say the AI is dumb and easy after playing that.
Controls might feel clunky but did they do any customizing?
Ubi is clearly not letting us experience the full potential of the class and specialities quite yet. I really truly believe this game will feel much different at higher/more difficulty combat.
I've played Xbox alpha, beta, PS4 beta, and pc Beta. PS4 beta looks good. It's not mind blowing but it's much better than what the minority here have said.

Seriously. I got my ass ROCKED doing that last night with a full party.
I love how we'll be able to redo missions on hard mode for different loot.

The fact that it has this much control customization and also it even has a LEFT HANDED key binding default is fucking astonishing and awesome for a beta. Holy shit...

In the Dark Zone you can kill both the White-named players AND the Red Named(Rogues)?

I dont know what people are seeing, but the graphics do not look good on this game at all. Maybe the lighting in some places but overall the graphics are underwhelming.
it happens when you have max capacity of this item.
It can be water,ammo,medkit, explosive ammo etc

You can kill ANY player you feel like killing and you can even kill the dogs in the game for some XP if you fancy that.

Yes, when you start shooting white named (friendlies) you will turn rogue.
CPU load very rarely drops below 90% on any of the cores, most of the time 95-100% for every core. Looks kinda scary because not used to CPU heavy games, but same time it's awesome and doesn't cause game to stutter or lag.
Also memory usage seemed to hover around same numbers no matter of area in the map [PvE and DZ], ~5GB VRAM & ~8GB RAM.
FPS is mostly 50+, but noticed dips as low as 35-ish for short periods of time. Game keeps smooth gameplay flow.

Played it a little bit on PC, game is pretty nice I must admit, but my GPU is going mad, when having almost everything on Ultra.
Using an MSI GTX 980Ti. Playing at 1080p@60fps. Lot of customization in this game, that is nice actually.
