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 :shock:

Are you using a program to turn up the fan ?

MSI Afterburner or Zotac Firestorm ?

81ºC = 177.80ºF

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.

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.

Which fan is making noise, what are the RPM's of it ?

THE gpu WHEN ITS AT MAX SPEED.....

SORRY IM SO NEEDY




so when i turn up the fan all the way on th gpu, the temp dosent get above 71C and stutters seem to be reduced a little.

now with temps that high, do you think the thermal paste needs to be replaced?

also is it normal for the ussage to be jumping around like that? from 60%to 99%?

 

[AddRAM]

I would think the card has to be replaced.

Yes really, you`re having all these problems with it, correct ?

Some hardware tests to run.

Graphics card test:
Video Card Stress Test with Furmark ​

Hard drive(s)test(s):

Pick one for your HDD brand or use Seatools.

RAM (memory) test:

This will require memtest on a bootable CD or USB stick.

thanks! ill test them when i get back. the GPU does fine with furmark, however after about 2 mins, it starts to jitter and stutter. the temp goes up to 90C. after that i just shut it down. i cant be the ram because its brandy new, and even on the last ram stick which was completely different ram, it was doing the same thing. so ill test HDD.

ok, so i contacted PNY about my GPU and told them everything. basically they said that its running perfect and above normal. he said the 90C is perfectly normal. the card is rated to 130C before it shuts off. i told him all my specs, and he said that with the specs i have, is most likley the HDD. so thats my next upgrade after the cooler.

after all it is still a laptop HDD lol
