I have the nVidia 950 GPU and no in my brief time playing the demo last night on the ultra graphics setting (less than one hour in total), I did not notice any unusual fan activity coming from my GPU.

It is really hard to take much you see from this demo to heart. I'm sure the game play will be different in the final build, plus there will be a day 1 patch if history repeats itself.

To me, a lot rides on the tactics actually working. To have some variety among different teams would be fantastic. Holding off on buying until I can see some footage from EA access trial. Anybody else in the same boat?

Yeah, definitely. I'll jump in and edit the PC config as well later, see how 8-10 minutes plays. Demo adjustments notoriously don't account for stamina/fatigue though, so 10 mins may be too high before the players start limping off the pitch.

Spencer is playing the game early it looks like, haven't watched the entire video myself yet. This is player v player of course, so take that what you will...

I am glad I have EA access so will be able to see how full game performs with longer halfs to see results.

Finally had my chance to play more FIFA 17 matches, and the more I played the more I noticed the typical AI crap that comes from EA. I was playing a match with some low end teams (my team was Inter 80-80-79 vs Olympique Lyonnaise 79-78-78) and first half was ging pretty well with some decent scoring chances until I pulled a penalty in the box resulting in the other team scoring on a PK, after that the game changed completely and rendered the AI being basically unstoppable despite me going into menu and changing tactics- I couldn't even keep possession of the ball and the AI would sprint down the field to my net repeatedly just like they did in FIFA 15. It went from a 1-1 tie game in first half to a 5-1 loss. Seeing similar behavior on both professional and world class difficulty.

Ended up getting a red card too just from bumping the guy attempting to kick the ball into my net.

The AI is what I hate most about EA Sports games as of recent, EA can't seem to get it right- AI in PES 2017 is dynamic and sometimes unpredictable.
