Hello everyone,
I have an old gaming PC, almost 9 years old and I am going to replace it for a few months., but I still want to use it before I replace it My specs are:
Intel i5 3570k,
MSI Radeon 7870 OC,
Asus p8z77-v lx motherboard.
I know it is an old rig, but GPUs performance shouldn't drop down that much. I have noticed that on some old games, which worked very well before, my GPU started overheating. For example, I have played Dark Souls 3 about 4 years ago, and they worked fine. I tried playing Dark Souls 3 again, and now it is unplayable, because my GPU's temperature goes over 85 C, the colors mess up, and game crashes. What is the reason for that? Maybe it is a cooling issue?
Thanks in advance!
