Posted March 26, 2020 Just now, YEETMAN said: Alright ill check out afterburner which temp should i stop at you don't need to stop it. gpu's have their own safety measures, if it will get too hot, it will throttle (usually around 85C) if you see the gpu going at 85C and staying there, there's something wrong with it. it should stay between 60-75C ideally.

Afterburner works fine every gpu company right? And i will use gpu z to see if its fake or not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what score do you think i should get if the graphics card is all g i want to see what 2 different people say so i know what will happen 2300 +/- 10% on the 1080p extreme test. if it crashes, there's something wrong with the card, any card can "handle it", as the test is design to stress and benchmark all cards.

And what score do you think i should get if the graphics card is all g i want to see what 2 different people say so i know what will happen Sorry to disappoint you man, but personally I run an AMD APU and I even haven't stress tested it. I was going to buy a new cooler to replace the stock cooler but this Corona shit happened. So, sorry but I can't help you with this kind of information... But I can tell you, 1060 wouldn't be enough to handle Heaven when you max up the settings.. It's one of the most brutal stress test a GPU can undergo!!
