A graph of the temperature of my NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512 graphics card during a game of Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter 2 to test the new ForceWare 257.21 drivers. Probably hit maximum when I called in an air strike. 1920x1080 res, 8xAA, PhysX was on.
System Fans: 40% RPM
GPU maximum temperature: 85.4°C
CPU die maximum temperature: 47.5°C
CPU core maximum temperature: 58.3°C (Core #0)
System maximum temperature: 57.8°C
Ambient temperature: 16°C
Not 2 bad. The 8800 GTS is Nvidias top of the line card right now isnt it?
Nvidia's flagship card is the GTX 480. It's a CRAZY card, designed to run at about 95°C.
Some OCers get the 360m over 100°C but that would totally scare me.
Yeah, right now anything over 90°C would make me shutdown immediately.
Cool ambient temperature, do you live in Canada or something =P.
Haha. No it's just winter in Melbourne and I left the doors open. :P
Did you notice any obvious graphics symptoms during these spikes with the 8800 ?
Nope, the frame-rate was smooth as usual. I was surprised to see that the card got that hot.
85º!!! sacred feth! Imagine if it were summer... your video card would have surely melted at that temperature....
Yeah, the 8800GTS runs hot, although I turn my fans up to 70 - 100% during summer if I'm gaming, it gets fraking loud and the card still gets to about 80°C.
