hi guys; since Skyrim came out i'v been wanting a bit more power on a budget from my decrepit GTX 280 (i got zero money atm so no new card).
the card in question is a Palit, and i'm using RivaTuner to OC' it, and FurMark to stress test it; here is the question.
I'm using at the same time GPUZ, FurMark and RivaTuner's monitoring functions, and although the card is stable at 637 core(602 default), 1371 shaders and 1161 memory, the three apps give me different temperature readings - furmark gives me 100c on the core, riva about 95c, and gpuz a ridiculous 65c. The fan is also trying to hoover away my hamster, or at least it sounds like it.
1) which of the 3 can i trust best?
2) which part - core, shaders, memory - gives the most heat when OCd?
3) is there any way i can squeeze a lil more juice out of this card without remaining GPU-less within the week ?
thanx in advance - i know y'all come up with a solution
