Hey there everybody,
Just recently bought a used custom-built computer. I've built several of my own and have a good working knowledge of it. Not too much on heat issues with GPU's however.
Basically, just wanted to see if what I'm seeing is normal or not... This is the card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127746
I've tried to run 3 games. Team Fortress 2, DayZ and Thief.
Results -
1) DayZ is pre-release alpha, so not worthy of appraising yet.
2) Thief I had to drop the settings to Normal Texture Quality, Low Shadow Quality, Normal Depth of Field, Default Texture Filtering Quality, NO SSA, No Screenspace Reflection, No FFXA, No Parallel Occlusion Mapping, No Contact Hardening Shadows, No Tesselation.
With the above stated settings, I'm still at 80c - 90c... wtf? I jacked my fan speed up to 75% too.
3) TF2 with medium - high settings, 90c as well.
**Note: I do have a Catleap 1440p Monitor *** Would it help tremendously if I dropped the resolution to 1080p instead? I would assume so, but not sure, as none of my issues are framerate issues. The card is beastly and should be able to get good frame rates in most games, but is running extremely hot.
Any advice? It still is under warranty, should I just return it and get a new board? Not sure if this is normal, certainly doesnt seem like it is.
