[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8753258, member: 591582"] I've been playing Fallout 4 some, running pretty high graphics, super far fade distances (loading parts of the game visually from very far away). Running 8x AA, I don't like anisotropic filtering for eye pain reasons, so that's off. Running 1440p. I messed up my settings and made GPU run full bore one time, got the junction up to 90C!!! It ran really good though, it wasn't over-stressing the GPU, just heating up a ton, I wasn't getting an graphical signs of GPU stress. I'd definitely have to water cool to run graphics that high, I'm not listening to 2500 RPM fans for hours on end. I'm not trying to run any electronics over 80C personally, for any extended amount of time. Was running 144 FPS with super high graphics, Radeon Image Sharpening at 80%, which makes a HUGE difference as to things like texture clarity and edge definition. Radeon may not be as good as Nvidia in the graphics department, but they sure seem to be trying hard to give people a lot of good stuff and options to make their game run however they need it to. You don't need that much FPS for Fallout, unless you're in a loading screen. I modded the game where my GPU does about 350 FPS, because the GPU is what is loading game when you're at the screen, and Fallout caps that at a low framerate. I modded that so loading is almost instant. I use FPS power saver that drops my FPS to 60 when I'm just standing at I max out at 72 with the way my V-sync is setup. Game runs very well, besides normal modding obstacles. I could run higher FPS, but Fallout just isn't that type of game, I'd rather crank up the visuals, yo. My whole point of this post is that running my GPU on these higher settings, I peak at about 70C junction temps usually when my room is Florida warm. With Cities, I maxed out at like about 60C. Fallout max and consistent temp are about 10C hotter across the board, many times I'm using somewhere between 120-145w of GPU power. Degrees: 60C is 140F. 70C is 158F. So Fallout makes my GPU run about 20 degrees hotter on average than Cities. Playing Fallout literally makes my room warm lol. My 4 exhaust fans, the 2 on the back above the GPU, put your hands over that while I'm playing fallout, that's some warm air. I start getting sweaty because my PC is in a corner and that hot GPU air gets stuck and legit makes my whole room hotter. If my heater ever goes out, I'm just gonna overclock the hell out of my GPU to heat my room LOL [/QUOTE]
