[-FE-] MadSlob [-FE-] Players 47 posts 5,322 battles Report post #1 Posted March 20, 2021 Im an owner of a factory OC Sapphire RX580(4GB) and have observed (using HW Monitor) that when you have multisampling AA and FXAA x8 enabled my graphics card hits 76c...yup not absolutely terrible but definitely high but when i turn off these gfx options and enable image sharpening in the latest Radeon software, which basically does the same thing,i reduce my temps to a max of 60c..Nvidia also has its own image sharpening option in its software settings...in this day and age where you cant get a gfx card on the open market for less than a kings ransom if at all, reducing temps and prolonging the life of a graphics card is a must....I did set a fan profile to reduce temps originally but the fans were at70%- 80% for the temps to be decent...hope this helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All of that is controlled by the drivers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I tend to dismantle my GPU's when I notice that the temperature is increasing for no obvious reason; remove the old thermal paste on the GPU and GPU heatsink and reapply new thermal paste. I would usually need to do this around 3-5 years post GPU manufacture, sometimes never. Depends on what the manufacturer used I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
