[king2104]

hi guys,

just wondering while i play bf3 on ultra on 1280x 1024 i can maintain a 45-60 fps but my temps are 6-67 degrees is still safe?

i just dont want this card to die so quick as im just a student and well i cannot always rely on my mother for cash.

is there any otherway i can bring down temps my fan speed in msi is at 50 percent and its loud.

thanks

Your temperatures are fine for that card. I have one myself in a box in the garage

Although with that card if I were you, I'd play on High settings with deferred AA off and post processing on High. This will probably give you a smoother experience with a fairly small drop in image quality.

2 would sound like Concorde taking off!

They aren't the quietest cards but they do offer a great performance/£ ratio.

Think my old HIS used to hit night on 80-85 degrees with stock cooler. Crossfire was a nightmare.

Won't go above 52 degrees with the Gelid Icy V2 on though (single card). When the computer idles the fans switch off completely (speedfan custom profile), and the card sticks at 38 degrees idle

Mine sits around 60-61c with fan on auto when playing bf3

You are about 23-30 degrees below the average GPU threshold. You are safe.

That is normal for the 6870.
