Counter Strike:Source and 6800GT

[Link]

Just played CS-S for about 30 min, and my 6800GT reached 84C!:shocked:
It never reached 80C while playing D3. Can it be CS-S graphically more demanding than D3?

Wow, that's strange... I sure hope this is an isolated case, cause I'm about to get a 6800 and hope to play CS:Source and HL2 on high quality. I heard that their new engine should not be as demanding as D3, so I figured if 6800 gets about 30-60 fps on D3 then I shouldn't have any problems with CS:Source.

No. CSS looks like ass next to D3, and marginally better than CS1. Something else must be wrong.

Then again the NV cards are not optimized for the source engine. I mean in the benches they didnt even bother to remove 6xAA for the NV cards!

buh? so source is running with forced 6xaa on NVs? Link me sir!!

What happened to controlling AA and AF for all apps regardless of the app settings? I still have my old TI4400 and haven't updated the drivers in ages, but with what I have right now I can control those settings with the drivers and not games.

I would, but then I might get banned. 😉

Same thing happend to me, was playing CSS on my OCed GeForce3 and it overheated. I had had it OCed to 225 / 530 for approx 1 year without it overheating even once. I found it very strange, I wasnt even on High graphics, 1024x768 with medium details and no AA or AF. Very odd :\

I would say this has to do with the beta, rather then the engine itself. It definitely isn't normal.
