I recently bought a 2nd hand Sapphire R7 250 2gb DDR3 for 1,500 PHP or around 30 USD. The owner told me that it was only used for a month and it works perfectly. I immediately bought it when I saw the ad, because it costs around 4,000 PHP in local stores. I've been using it for about 2 weeks now, and the graphics card runs pretty hot. It hovers at around 70-90 degrees while playing League of Legends, and goes up to 105 degrees while playing Need for Speed Rivals. I play League of Legends at 1080p max settings, and get constant 60 FPS, but the frame rate occasionally drops to exactly 30 FPS for a few seconds. Need for Speed Rivals run at around 20-30 FPS but will sometimes drop to less than 10 FPS when the card reaches 105 degrees.
My setup is Intel G2030, 4gb RAM, R7 250, and Corsair VS450 PSU.
Why does my FPS in League of Legends drop to exactly 30 FPS while gaming?
Is it normal for an R7 250 to run this hot?
Should I buy a new GPU Cooler? The Deepcool V65 costs 155 PHP in my local store while the V95 costs 420 PHP. Are they compatible with my GPU?
Your opinion guys?
