Hello, so I just wondered with the GPU I mentioned it has 3 modes.

OC Mode-Tune up core clock and fan speed to gain the best performance.

Gaming Mode-Provides a stable gaming experience with higher core clock.

Silent Mode-The best operating environment with fabulous low noise.

I just wondered would it be okay to play games on the Silent Mode. I myself would just be worried about damaging the components too much.
Thank you.

What I mean is for example (forgive the stupid question) I had a Palit GTX 560 and could play New Vegas, Skyrim with an ENB, The Witcher 2 (at a stretch) so I was just wondering if it is okay to play games like that on Silent Mode on the GPU I have now, I only wondered as with the OC'ing and gaming modes I would rather be secure with Silent Mode.

I mean if I made a guess I would assume that Silent Mode has the power of a regular GTX 780 and the other modes just add a bit more power.

It is just a version of overclocking.

As I recall those cards have constantly adjustable output, and how long it can put out max is heavily dependent on the cooling, and controlled by temperature, I think.

The reference cards with reference cooling throttled back much sooner then the cards like you have.

Okay that explains it a lot more, thanks for putting my mind at rest.

Also one last question. I take it the overclocking is if you wanted to play games like Crysis 3 and Witcher on the top of everything settings right?
