[QUOTE="Buck, post: 8754481, member: 591582"] Will any of you PC guys kindly state what the max temps are that you find comfortable to run all day long on your GPU? or for hours? I feel comfortable with 70-75C, at the moment. My GPU typically finds itself around 60-75 degrees, depending on what I'm doing. Usually around 60-67 or so, will dip into the 50's if I'm "sitting" in a game, it'll usually top peak at 70C. It takes special circumstances to hit 75C. This is running lower frame rates with higher graphics. Cities isn't fair to compare, because the FPS is actually CPU limited, with the core usage of that game, so it doesn't max out your CPU during the whole game. I only have 3 games. Cities: Skylines, Fallout 4, and the original Starcraft and expansion pack for it. I think designing boxes takes more power than running Starcraft LOL. Fallout 4 at this moment (glitchiest game in the history of the matrix): I run 1440p, 16x anisotropic filtering, 8xEQ for Anti-aliasing, and 80% Radeon Image Sharpening. I have enhanced (type of vsync) sync on, so I run Radeon chill, which limits the FPS. I run 60 FPS when the PC has no input from me, and it'll cap at 72 FPS (half of my screen's max FPS @ 144hz). Running Fallout 4 in 144 FPS is possible, but with the graphics the way I have, it heats my GPU up to 90C or so. That's too much to run for hours, a bit too much. I'd have to water cool, I'm not running fans high enough to cool a 90C GPU, hell no. Fallout isn't really designed to run high FPS, because there's a lot of game speed factors that are based on FPS. Running 72 FPS is very stable and I usually stay below 70C in most situations, I float a lot around 60-68C or so, I have massive fields of depth, for Fallout. The way this textures lay over each other on this game causes really weird glitching on far away objects, because of the way the game loads in the layers or doesn't. The game performance is really good. Zero stuttering and huge depth of field and huge visual uplifting, the game looks as good as a Fallout game is going to. This game was made by the laziest people on earth, it had to be. I'm dumb with this stuff, I'm just wild west-ing it, and I've even figured out better options for this game than the people who made it. It's ridiculous, that's why Bethesda or Zenimax got sold. F*ck you Todd Howard, you greedy liar. You made a mockery, a shell of your own game, because you're a cheap lying bastard. But I was going to say I can run around with a minigun when I'm having a 50 bot vs 50 bot settlement war, and I can shoot explosive bullets everywhere with bots and turrets shooting, body parts flying all over the place, and I don't get any stuttering. The only time I got it to stutter was when I made like 200 turrets and all of them fired at the same time and I'm very suprised my computer didn't crash. It killed whatever was there almost instantly, like 30 people. My frame rate was so low I thought I froze my computer. But everybody died and my screen came back. Hopefully you can use some of this info to have some better gaming or stress relieving time yourself. I like this little fake beautiful world I made on fallout 4, and I get to run around and shoot missiles at anything I want. You gotta have a powerful PC to run a game like Fallout 4 properly. I would never play this game on a console, ever. [/QUOTE]
