560ti Hawk Temp

[nged72]

I've been playing BF3 Co-op and after looking at the MSI Afterburner, My card is getting up to 80 C

It has never gone that high until today; used to go up to 71 max. Is the card bad since i've only had it for about a month?

989 Core Clock
1978 Shader
50 Manual Fan Setting

Max temp is 99°C so you are still OK http://www.geforce.com/Hardware/GPUs/geforce-gtx-560ti/specifications
You are probably stressing it more but what fan speed do you have at that temp?

 

[nged72]

the speed was set at 30 but then I upped it to 50 w/o retesting it

Looks fine to me a small spike in the fan kicking in when temp went high and then brought it down.
Edit: looked at it again and it was the load that spiked your fan goes max to 50% have you tried it on Auto?

it was on Auto (30) when playing BF3 and it went up to 80degrees. When I exited BF it went way down (since BF takes up all my damn RAM on my GPU lol)

I just need to figure out if my GPU is bad or something since my 30day return is up on the 28th

I do not think it is bad it is a taxing game!
