Which driver are you using 314 or 320 ?

latest possible one.....


so while playing, i noticed a couple things......

1) my GPU tep went up to 81C

2)gpu ussage was bouncing between 70% and 99%.

everyting else seemed fine. core, mem, and shader speeds did not idle down.

81C

Are you using a program to turn up the fan ?

MSI Afterburner or Zotac Firestorm ?

i let it do it automatically, the fan is so freaking loud. but if i have to will do. even when its at 50C when i first start off, it stil lags.

running furmark, it gets up to 90C....

the thing that got me was how much and how ofen the ussage was bouncing around. to me that does not seem normal.....it did not stay at 99% at all, just kept bouncing.

Do you have Geforce Experience installed ? It sets up optimized game settings for you.

Tweak your Game Settings Automatically | GeForce Experience | GeForce

my game settings are fine. im getting an average of 60fps. max of 80 and dips to 40fps. like ive been saying, that stutter and choppiness is not reflected in the FPS count much at all. however i do notice that when it does happen, i see my HDD light on or flashing....

I'm no genius but 81ºC = 177.80ºF sure is a whole bunch of hot !

but is the ussage going from 70% to 99% normal? or should it always be at 90% even with the settings i have and everything.
