Powercolor Radeon HD 3870 512 mb GDDR4

[Z1nK]

Hi there..
I recently bought Powercolor Radeon HD 3870 with 512 mb GDDR4 and ZEROtherm cooling system on it.
I have few questions about its temperature.
While playing Call of Duty 4 i have normal temperatures round 60 max 70 Celsius. But while playing Grand theft auto IV temperature is round 75 - 85 degrease of celsius.
Is that normal bcs temperature is really high although i know GPU always has high temperatures but 85 (i also had 90 once :S) is really high temp for GPU if you ask me..
Any help would be really apreciated.

My other parts are:
Gigabyte EP45T - Extreme (motherboard)
Intel Core2 Quad Q9550 (running at 3,1 ghz)
2 GB of Kingmax DDR3
600 W power suply
320 GB HDD


help apreciated
thnx again.

Theres a way to tweak the rpm of your cooler on the card through CCC by creating a new user profile and modding a bit of code if it concerns you and you dont mind the extra noise.
Would not lose your head over it as long as you can say you have good case ventilation. GTA IV would play havoc with a card much more powerful
