Crysis is killing my card!

[NotAGolf]

I've started playing Crysis today and I noticed that my 7800GTX gets up to 93c after an hour or so!!

On 3dMark and other games like cod4 it hits the low/mid 80's after a long time. Is that a safe temperature? Doesn't sound like it to me!

I had the card out only a few days ago to give it a clean. Didnt have any compressed air, just gave it a blow, didnt take it apart either but I don't really fancy taking it apart and removing heatsink and such.

It's always been a hot card but I don't think I've ever seen it this hot before, is this a problem or is Crysis just EXTREMELY demanding?

'tis demanding......and your card will run hot anyways.....think it is still in spec, though

get some air to be on the safe side.

welcome to Crysis mate

It owns everything unless you can throw money at your pc like a crack fuelled pie lobbing contest!

93degrees - I guess you could use it to make tea....

put a little spit in....in rig kebab maker

Being sensible though, my X1950 ICEQ3 would hit 60-70 and that fan is a machine!!! its just a hugely demanding game, especially on old architecture.

Crysis is a killer in every way, it runs rubbish on sli and crossfire, it runs rubbish on multi core, it is rubbish, except it is quite pretty

Well it is the biggest thing to hit gaming rigs to be fair and demands anything it can come across!

Ain't that the truth, unfortunately we are men and how many times have we put with **** from chicks coz they're pretty

PS Am I delusional but I thought patch 1.2 addressed SLI and multicore? I had allready finished it before that patch came out and honestly that game has been been unistalled from my machine since end of last year
