GPU FAQ

[Fatman Jo]

I was playing Witcher 3 earlier today at custom high settings with Nvidia Hairworks turned off and my Sapphire R7 370 was around 70-75 degrees. Now while this is higher than I would like for it to be the average temperature of where I live is 33-35 degrees so i guess it makes sense. However I'd like to know of ways turn down my GPU temperature preferably, an economic and ethical solution.Could I utilize MSI afterburner to tone things down? I realize that getting a better case with better airflow is the first step but are there others? Also what temperatures should I expect on my GPU running AAA games like GTA V, Witcher 3, DA Inquisition,Far Cry 4 running at high settings?

Well, you can use Afterburner to downclock your GPU, but it will affect performance.

 

Just use some high airflow fans and you'd be good to go.
