Graphics Card Advice

[JillyBean]

Its good to hear that the Card is running without any issues; try installing some programs like Realtemp and GPU-Z and see what your temperature is at, Dell cases tend to be badly ventilated. Also try playing around with the game settings, some of those features are unnecessary or effects are vary minimal; turning some of them off should give you a nice boost in score.

Hi! So, I installed the little temp gauges as you suggested, and ran the benchmark (all I can run atm!) The card seemed to run at around 65(c) and the CPU 59-62 maybe. Does this seem ok? Also, I wonder if the benchmark is a good indicator, and if the temps continue to rise, or if they simply stabilize and remain the same as you play (all day)....

What would be temperatures of concern? My box is not enclosed in a shelf of any kind nor on the carpet. Neither the box, nor the air around it has ever felt warm (not during 1.0 with the 240 card, nor during ....I cannot say)

Thanks!
