[SOLVED] Graphics Card Temp

Pvisagi · 01-04-2008, 02:50 AM

I have a ATi HD 3850 card and when playing games its temp runs up to 78 degrees celsius, I just want to know if this is normal as I have heard from other ppl that it is normal for graphics cards to get so hot!

Yes that is a normal temperature. You don't have much to worry about that card because if it detects its getting too hot the fan speeds up. Or if it gets really hot your machine is bound to just lock up.
