EVGA Nivida GTX 760 2GB, 65+C Issue;

I've recently bought the game, a few days back. After Hours/15+ hours at the speed of 60-KB/Per second and the game is 6.81 GB's... After launching the game, i've noticed my video card likes to rank out to around 65+C which other games aka Smite stays around 45C. I don't like the looks of the game, over heating almost a brand new video card. Some please do respond!

It would be more reasonable to see The Sims 3 to stay around 50/55C Not no 65/75C.

I don't like to bring other Game names up, especially on Game fourms. But Star Citizen being so big of a game, it pops my video card around 75C. The Sims 3 must update or fix the problems of Video card over heating.

Please do help!

    Seems that no one really has this issue, at least the forumers! I just don't get it. It shouldn't be running well over 55C. If someone else had/has this problem please do respond!

  • Try limiting the FPS. The game has no option to do that but the human eye can't really see more then 60 fps so what you do is go to your nvidia settings and turn on vsync.

    Also make sure your fans are free of dust.

    The Vsync is very well on! And i've just dusted my computer 2 months ago. It's free of dust. I've ran Fraps, it well over runs 4k FPS/2k It runs and runs. I've tried to run FPS Limiter, but didn't seem to help... I did notice one thing tho, the first time ever trying to run the game it said something like (It didn't recognize your graphics card) It's a SuperClocked 2GB Nivida 760 GTX; I wouldn't think it would run that hot... It shouldn't. Combat Arms is a huge game, and the card settles around 45C. I don't plan to run my card around 65/75C order to play TS3. I've done placed the $50 order for the Base-game and the Island pardise!

    There has to be a fix to this. I know Star Citizen runs around 70C on my card, and that game already has 42 Million USD into it... it's one huge game.

    Don't worry about that. WIth 4000 it seems vsync is not working right.

    Did you set your vsync for the process ts3w.exe ?
