GPU Temps Question

[DirkaFat]

Does highlighting on the windows 7 home screen (when you left click and drag across the screen when you're bored) use the GPU? According to Sapphire Trixx, the warms up 10c when I do this. Something about GPU acceleration, maybe?

Well I did that with my 780 and I used 3% more usage but it stayed under clocked at 692MHZ (idle clock for mine) so really it doesn't do anything. So nothing to be worried about I would say.

It probably is GPU accelerated, since most of aero's transparency and animations are GPU accelerated nowadays.

It probably is normal, but 10c increase. Wow.

That seems... probable

mine just stays at 300mhz and the usage goes up and down for any reason, its an animation real time so it involves using the gpu even if its simple.
