I'm really suspicious it is a heat issue now, it seems Witcher 3 is a game that pushes my gpu and general temps the highest. BF1 in comparison limited to a 100fps and gpu usage fluctates a lot and temps still stay under 70. Witcher 3 however even limited to 60fps it has high gpu usage and temps go up to 75 plus.
I'm wondering if I should test it further and risk damaging it or just not use it heavily and wait for thermal pads to come.
But it isn't the heat of the GPU core (the only measurable temp on card with software) that is the issue. It is the VRM temps which are leaking heat towards the closest bank of VRAM chips. We are unable to monitor the temps without expensive lab equipment.
