Hi
I have a nvidia 8600GT having 512MB memory. These days whenever i try playing games like Napoleon Total war , Empire total war or Fallout 3, the games run smooth initially, but then they show some lag for sometime, after this everything gets normal and then the above process repeats itself.
When i installed nVidia ESA and System Monitor, i found out that the GPU temp. at startup is around 78C and after 15 mins it reaches 91C. Also when i play these games and when the lag occurs i checked that the temperature shoots till 125C. Can you please advice what could be the root cause and what could be some solutions about. Shall i go for a change of graphic card and if yes, what should be the new card.
MyGPU temp details are as follows (PC Wizard):
NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT : nVidia Driver
Temperature : 91 °C
Temperature (GPU) : 91 °C
Fan : 30%
