Radeon 4670 iceq ??

[nook454]

i look up using gpu-z it's around 39-41 idle while playing game it comeup to around 57-58 c i wonder if this normal ?? and also when playing game it says gpu load is 99%? oO is my gpu malfunction or sumthing cause im really worry that it's load that high ?? xD anyway thanks for the answer =)

 

[bpogdowz]

ex dee
no problem

 

[nook454]

??? ex dee ?? oO

 

[djcoolmasterx]

Those temps are normal.

 

[edeawillrule]

The temperature limit for that Gpu is 110 Degrees Celcius so you're fine lol. And I have that same card and the same temps you do so no need to worry

 

[nook454]

and the 99 percent load ??? o.o

 

[irkjab]

Is nothing to worry about, it just means the graphics card is pushed to 99% of its capacity with the game.

is it normal for mine to reach 90 degrees?

 

[spathotan]

Thats good, that means the game is taking full use of the GPU.

 

[spathotan]

I dont think any 4670 should be hitting 90c...

 

[nook454]

wow 90 c ?? hmm so i wonder what cause gpu temp to went higher after a couple of years ?? +)

 

[spathotan]

Dust buildup can start having an impact in as little as a few months. Really depends on the buildup obviously.

 

[nook454]

thx i always wonder bout that ^^ so is it safe to take ur gpu out and blow the dust out once in a while ??

 

[spathotan]

Yes, typically you want to blow into the fan and towards the back of the card where the air exhaust. If its really bad you might have to do it from both sides.

 

[mamw93]

Temps are slightly elevated and then load is higher than average but nothing to be worried about until you get artifacts in games.

 

[scamper2]

wow 90 c ?? hmm so i wonder what cause gpu temp to went higher after a couple of years ?? +)

no i only bought the card last week :S

 

[nook454]

still i got one last question higher temp of gpu not degrade game performance right ?? (i mean if it's not overheat ~~ )

 

[irkjab]

Nope. It won't slow down your game. If its overheating, you'll get artifacts/BSODs/reboots

no i dont think it does- i think it just shortens the cards life expectancy

 

[nook454]

so thanks for all the info guys and oh also current im using pentium d 2.6 to run fallout 3 on high setting with this card and well from what i know p d is not recommend for high setting and i also experience lots of lag when there is big explosion going around okay so the question is if cpu can't handle the game on high well it won't hurt my gpu right ?? like force it to work harder or sumtin sryy if im annoy u guys cause my 360 just got rrod so i really want to take care of my pc right now or else i ll have nothing to play with xD

 

[rewindlabs]

Your a 360 owner...who'd ave thought it


No your gpu won't be toasted with what your cpu can't cook...have you tried clocking up the oven and seeing if you cant at least flambe up some nice medium rare pwnage on that 4670?

i doubt that it would harm ur gpu in any way. maybe upgrade ur cpu to something like a Intel E5200-thats what im upgrading to. u can overclock it and it works OK for games.

 

[nook454]

actually im using core 2 3.0 ghz but it broke down so while waiting for my cpu to get fix im using this pd

 

[nook454]

also is this 3.0 ghz still good for playing new games on high ?? or should i actually go for quad core now ?? also (i doubt anyone here will know but still...) anyone know how much is the ps3 failure rate compare to rrod ?? and is the console reliable ?? thanks =)

 

[RazberyBandit]

All depends on the game. Not all games and applications make use of multi-core CPUs, so upgrading to a quad can sometimes hurt performance if it clocks to a lower speed when running single-threaded applications or games.

Can't help you with the failure rates of PS3's vs 360's. I can tell you that the PS3 in this house died, but I think that was caused by user-error. (translation: 8-yr old child repeatedly powering it down improperly by flipping the main power switch on the back rather than shutting it down...) We've had the replacement for 9 months now and no problems because I told him if he ever did that again, I would take it away forever. LOL
