|
|
Just wondering, but what is the normal temperature range for a nVidia 8800 GTX?
I'm slightly worried on how hot my card is running. Right now its running at 57 C and I'm not doing anything fancy, and have it set to 8-bit color, though I'm running at 1900X1200 resolution.
Its on my laptop, and the fan is running at what seems like about half speed.
At full speed I've seen the temp go down to 36 C, but I'm in a class room and can't have my laptop running its fans at full, so I'm stuck with them at medium speed.

Those temps are fine, quite good actually. Nothing to worry about, just raise your color depth

I set it to 8-bit because I was hoping that it would cause the card to not run as hot.
I was just trying to change things to make it run cooler.
Usually I run it at 32-bit.
And this is a Sager 9262 Laptop (its built on the Clevo D901C)

Graphics cards run much hotter than CPU's, and thats a fine temp.
But again.
WTF!!?!?! 8800GTX + LAPTOP = ?
