i just bough an nvidia geforce gtx 560 zotac

i plugged it on my computer, installed the drivers and everything is fine until i try to play a game i can hear it struggle (the fan) and the temperature gets high and i was wondering why

my hardware specs are

PSU: CoolerMaster RS-700-PCAA-E3
http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?product_id=...

CPU: Intel I5 3570k

Motherboard: Asus P8-Z68-V LX
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/P8Z68V_LX/

RAM: Kingston Hyper X 4gb x 2 1600mhz

i had a sapphire radeon hd 7750 before this card and it was running fine

tell me if you need more information
 
sorry by that i meant that the fan speed is increasing to follow the temperature of the card (very loud)

ive used msi afterburner to look at some statistics of the card and when i play a game like saints row 3 full graphics, it says that the graphic card gets at 79 degree celsius and the usage of the card gets at 99%
 
Thats well within its thermal safety range. Rofl you should hear what my old dual 6990s used to sound like. Try hoover vacuums. Then i got two gtx 690s good day.

Crap i gotta update my sig to 32gb ram

there we go. much better

i would go high end for a playable experience with 3 monitors, if u got money to burn on it then why not get something like a gtx 770 4gb
