Thread: Secret World Not to shabby

WoW is a rather simple game graphically. Not all games are the same. Many games on release put a heavy load on your GPU. Its not a bad thing, its using everything you are paying for.

Ok this is direct from EVGA tech support...I was told to forget the old guidelines for Video Card high temperatures....my video card is not overheating until it reachs 98c they said anything under that dont worry about it....my card occaisionally shoots up over a 100c in TSW...I am crashing alot less...
EVGA has a bios update and I flashed it and it allows my fan to run at high speed on the gpu,,,the cooler will be in by friday that ends the prob....I like this game more and more aberration

Your card has a thermal cut off of around 105C I believe. At that point it will actually shut itself down. On most expensive silicon these days, its hard to destroy it accidentally. You have to do it intentionally, or its another component that fails.

I still wouldn't be comfortable with that high of a temp, except on a laptop.

Hows the new cooler?

I continue to be a huge fan so far.

Heh put the cooler on and next day I thought the Power supply went...pc wouldnt turn on...I had a 900 watt ps so I exchanged it...same thing...process of elimination it has to be the mobo...and its not a cheapo...its an asus sabertooth A58.....So ive been without a puter almost two weeks...I have everything ordered and its already here, im waiting on two more pieces and ill slap this new puter together...


I miss the game ....I should be back in tues
Corsair Carbide 500R case
Ivy Bridge 3770k
Asus Sabertooth Z77
16 gig Corsair vengence 1600 dual channel
EVGA 670gtx OC...the benchmarks tween 670 and 680 are so minimal not worth the 125.00 differnce
The rest of the stuff....Power supply, HD....

I should have it all monday and slap it together tues...

Nice gear. I am really surprised the Sabertooth of all boards took a ****. I had a R2E literally catch fire at the PCI-e slot my sound card was plugged into. Watercooled, so you would think a leak caused it... nope, lint.

I can't bring myself to upgrade from my i7 920 and GTX285's...
