No, i’m pretty sure my computer is beast enough to handle the game, so the temperature should be fine.
Btw the crack didnt work):
have you guys tried running in dx9 mode? crysis seems to put out a lot more errors in dx10 than in dx9. the visual quality is not much better in dx10 so maybe you should give it a try
Just because your computer is ‘beast enough’ doesn’t mean temperatures will be fine. :facepalm:
In reference to the 480s running hot. They were built to do so. I’ve gotten them up to 92c and performance is just fine. Though the statement still holds true, you need to ensure airflow is good and you’re not taking your CPU to 180c like V2-V3 did during OC Summit
Oh no! My electric bill went up $1.00. This is absurd!
Uh no they were not, they still use the same capacitors and voltage regulators which have a maximum operating temperature of 105 C. The chip itself is usually not the component that dies from overheating, but rathing the surrounding memory chips / voltage regulators and/or the capacitors.
92 C isn’t in the death zone but it’s not particularly safe either. Also, a CPU will never reach 180 C.
Okay. So they were built to withstand temperatures of 92c. They were built with a maximum operating temperature of 105c. They stay under that, so therefore the cards were built for it.
And a CPU can reach 180c when a heat gun is on it.
HURR DURR A CPU WILL REACH OVER 9000 IF YOU THROW IT INTO THE SUN
Now, to only find an arm that can throw it that far.:retard:
For the second time no they are not, pretty much every videocard / motherboard and powersupply uses capacitors rated at 105 C. They are not specifically used for the GTX480 cards.
Besides, a 92 C graphics card will overheat surrounding components on the motherboard (usually the southbridge) which causes problems like system lock-ups.
tolerance levels != design levels
Okay, so you simply just said that the GTX480 was designed to withstand temperatures up to 105c. Same thing I’ve been saying this whole time, I just wasn’t generic about it because the current issue at hand, involves a GTX480. So I targeted that card and said it was designed to take temperatures that high. I could have said every card was and I would still have been right. If you still don’t see it, then ask someone else to explain it to you.
And sure, it COULD over heat surrounding items but if you have a solid airflow, it’ll keep the temps down quite well. And if someone has a GTX480 on a R3E like myself, the NB optional cooler helps correct that issue.
no…youre not getting what hes saying… the GTX480 is not designed for 105C temperatures…the capacitors on the chip are…the max temperature threshold for the card is the maximum temperature the weakest component is. for all you know, the PCB may have a max temp thres. of 80C…then 92 would be out of that range and the max temp of the gtx480 would be 80C (this is just an example)
also, overheating WILL cause freeze-ups and lockups without bringing the whole pc down or starting an emergency shutdown. ive seen it happen on all types of computers.
Oh gees, people are thick. I get what is being said.
They are built using components that function up to 105c. So therefore, it’s designed to function at 92c.
Pretty much you two are saying that, for example, we have 100 blue marbles. ALL the marbles are designed to be blue. Yet, if I take one from that bunch of 100, for some reason, that marble is no longer blue.
Reworded with GPUs:
Pretty much you two are saying that, for example, we have 100 GPUs. ALL the GPUs are designed to work up to 105c. Yet, if I take one from that bunch of 100 [GTX480], for some reason, that GPUs is no longer able to work up to 105c.
Get it?
And when did I say overheating doesn’t lock up your system? I simply said that the ASUS R3E has a NB 80mm fan adapter to tack on extra cooling. This for me, combats the extra temps being generated by the 2x GTX480s. Yeah, the cards run hot, but the rest of my system stays cool. As stated in an earlier post, if you have good airflow or water cooling, the GTX480s don’t cause too much an issue if at all on the rest of the components.
Also, did you get it working yet Mango?
no youre still not getting it…voltage regulators and capacitors are NOT the only components of a graphics card. just because they are able to withstand 105C temperatures doesnt mean ALL the other components are.
they are also NOT designed to run at 105C…that is simply the maximum temperature they can withstand. Design specifications and tolerance specifications are NOT the same. For example, modern HDD’s usually have a 60C threshold. That does NOT mean that it was designed to run at those temps. You run a HDD at 55C+ temps and ill guarantee youve cut its life by more than 80%. HDD’s design temperatures range from 30-45C. Its tolerance levels are 0-60. When you leave the design range…bad things happen. you should never run components near the maximum operational temperatures
i have no idea wtf youre talking about with the marbles (maybe you lost yours?) because neither of us said anything of that nature.
Also, none of us were talking about your setup, we were talking to mavrix26
Not even going to bother.
thats cause you dont have an understanding of how it works…
If you have good cooling as you keep boasting, your cards shouldnt pass 70C under load. Temps over 80C are hot and temps over 90 will slowly bake your memory to failure. You GPU will be fine, your graphics card will not. Have fun frying your own cards but dont tell others that 92C temps are fine for extended use because “thats what they were designed for”
Topic, bitches.
I downloaded Crysis from Steam and it runs great on my 64 bit Windows 7 machine. Using Nvidia 9800 Graphics, no sound card (just the sound logic on the DP55WB Intel motherboard), and the Intel i5 2.67 Ghz CPU. Warning, it does not run well on Vista.
