GPU temp=0C????

Postby skier » Sun Nov 09, 2008 10:15 pm

it appears that my temp sensor in my 9600GSO is faulty, how bad is this in actuality? and is this a known problem on....any card? is there a fix?

also, should i RMA(i really, really don't want to though)

Do you have an electric thermometer? If so you could just have a look at how hot it is with that. Other than that, does it show up with any artifacts while playing?

i don't think i have access to one, and it usually doesn't artifact, but DiRT has been giving me trouble(it won't get past the loading screen to start a race) if it doesn't load after i take it down to stock speeds, then i'm gonna uninstall, because it plays Need For Speed Carbon on the highest possible settings, at 75+ FPS(vsync on) without a care in the world

Maybe there is a BIOS update for your card?

It depends how much you want to know how hot your card is running, as to if you want to get it RMA'd.
