Hi so For the past 2 or 3 Days I've been getting Low fps when playing game's. So today I opened up Speccy To check the temps and My Gpu was at 30 Degrees Celsius. So I Think to myself Well Lets Run a game and then check it again. I Run Dishonored And at first I was getting a silky Smooth 60 Fps But after about ten minutes It started to drop Down to 30 Fps. So i Turned off vsync Thinking that It was causing it, But all that did was Cause my Fps To fly Around All over the place. So i closed the game and I check speccy again and it was at 60 Degrees, So I close it and wait a few minutes And it was still at 60 degrees, So I Download Speedfan To Check if it was any different Only to find out that it is the exact same Temp as speccy. and keep in mind It took me a while To download speed fan so it had time to cool down, Any other time I would play a game as soon as i closed it The Gpu Would Cool Almost immediately. So I opened up the computer And Cleaned it To no avail, So here I am. Also i have a evga 760 2gb edition

Speccy,atleast for me,forces my card into 3D(high) clocks which creates more heat.

That would explain why your GPU didnt cool as fast as it normally would have.

Also,60c is pretty freakin great for GPUs. Over 80c is where you have to start looking at your Case Airflow and GPU heatsink to make sure everything is in order.

It couldn't be a thermal issue as it's still new. You can play while checking the temps. Just see what you get. If you see the 760 going over 80 then stop and let the card cool down, then do put your feedback here
