I bought the elder scrolls Oblivion yesterday. I must say that I've never seen any application that stresses a videocard higher. I really need to do something about cooling on the card as I'm very surprised it didn't get busted when I looked at the temperatures after playing. I read 95°C

When I play Trackmania Nations the temps don't go above 73°C. When playing F.E.A.R. they don't exceed 82°C. To think I was already worried when reading that temperature!

I'm using this card

I normally have it clocked at 400/1200 as that is the Gainward "guaranteed" overclock. That will artifact in many games. The weird thing is that the card didn't artifact at 360/1100 at the 95°C.

Any suggestions Edu?

What I am going to try in the near future is to remove the heatsinks and apply some AS5. If that doesn't work I'd better get myself a waterblock

Oh and congrats on the 3500th view of this thread
