Can Crysis 3 destroy my graphics card?

[REDJARHEAD]

Tittle pretty much says it all. The GPU I have currently is a Geforce gtx 660 ti <-- refer to my specs on my other forum posts

Gpu temps go up to about 89-90 degrees at the most

Might want to blow out the dust on the card.

do not use ultra on games is gpu killer with no real gain.

I have it all on High settings by default when I first ran the game for the first time

If your feeling brave and dont care about your warranty, replace the thermal Paste.

Maybe some case fans. Thats a little mad for a Nvidia Card... My Old MSI GTX 660 with 1 Fan and 1 case exhasut fan didnt go over 76C in a 80F room in a tiny little case playing crysis 3 at Very High and Some Ultra settings at 1080p

What do you mean "blow it out some" Air?

Yes. I use Hair Dryers that have the option to disable the Heating Coils. Marvelous

 

[REDJARHEAD]

but, is it worth running this game on the settings that I have which is High and FXAA 1680x1050

 

[simmons33]

1680x1050? Surely you could push for more than high.

You could use a bottle of compressed air, used for doing exactly what they've suggested. Gives good pressure and will clean it out just fine.

A brand new computer with the nvidia card inside < there's like no dust in my comp (well maybe a little)

^^ False

Ultra settings will not "kill" your graphics card. Really a GPU should be able to sustain absolute maximum load without overheating. If no, there is a problem with your cooling configuration.

And with VSYNC off there will be little GPU load difference between medium high or ultra
