So, my double d 6870 seems to idle pretty warm, and I suspect it may be impacting my game performance.
It idles at the absolute lowest of 45c, but it's a little warmer today and it's currently at 51c. However, when I play games, even for hours and hours, it only goes to a MAX of like 58c.
I know the double d is supposed to be colder than other cards, but I have never had one idle this high with such a low top.
My clocks are stock.
The card I had before this was a Nvidia gts 240 and it idled at like 30-32c, and maxed at like 65ish which seems more "normal"
