Hi everyone,
Recently I've been having problems with an old graphics card that I've had in my system for about 4 months. I have the very outdated Nvidea Geforce GTX560 DirectCU 1, and most of my problems lie in overheating with certain games. i.e Starcraft 2 on any settings above low, Diablo 3 on anything above medium and World of Warcraft on Medium/High. On all these games (mostly SC2 and Diablo3) my card hits 60-65 celcius with my fan on 60%, anything higher making the noise almost unbearable with this card. Hence I spend half my time while playing anything monitoring my temperature and making sure it isn't at a silly level.
I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to details on Graphics Cards so I'm not really sure on what to look for when it comes to optimizing for these games. But basically I'm looking for a card within the £200-250 (about $375-390) range, and the main things i want from it is high FPS on high detail, preferably sustaining low temperatures, though I can deal with some fan noise - especially after owning my current card!
My other system specs are:
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 pro
Processor: AMD Black 8core 3.1GHz
Ram: 8GB Corsair DDR3
Current Graphics Card: GeForce GTX560 DirectCU 1
Windows 7 64bit
Any other necessary information I missed can be given if you need it.
So any advice anyone can give would be hugely appreciated as I really am clueless as to what/where to look.
Thanks!
