    Well, thats what i call a weird behavior:

    Results of max temp running windowed mode, 3 screens, 720p, 5laps:
    View attachment 15569
    Max fps: 80
    Average fps: 60

    Results of max temp running fullscreen mode, 3 screens, 720, 5laps:
    View attachment 15570
    Max fps: 127
    Average fps: 90

    ps: should i open another thread?

    edit: anyone thinks it could be a driver (not people, gfx related) problem? Thats the only thing i did not try: reinstall drivers

    Have you tried to lower the volts ?
    This should be possible with the card software, try lowering it then test the reliability on 3d apps.

    Exactly what a friend Pc expert (well, knows much more than me) told me to try! Thanks boblevieux, i will come back with this test result in a couple of minutes.

    edit: but i dont know to lower voltage . evga precision x only allows to increase. Help, please?

    It could be voltage offset on nvidia inspector?

    Update status: don´t know if i did it right setting, but tried lowering voltage offset on nvidia inspector to -100.0 mV
    The result on 3dmark was practically the same (1 point minus overall score) and playing rf2, gpu reaches 98° C again but have the same performance before (same fps, no stuttering)

    I´m assuming there is some wrong with drivers, so not having anyone around here to confirm this, i will try to uninstall drivers in safe mode and installing again in safe mode. Fingers crossed...

    You never listen to me lol

    Stop cocking about with wrong tools. ;)

    You can drive and watch all that crap and a lot more then you see in screenshot if you want, then toggle it all off when you done. ;)

    Like I said ummm .........I have tried 60fps limit and yes while it saves a little usage and heat who cares if it feels like crap to drive ! :confused:


    At the below fps I have lovely feel and yes higher cpu usage but Heat is +/- 60c and it is a warmish day here.

    60c Load 3D games is a holy grail it is the lowest settings nvidia inspector lets you set if you look. ( IE: 60c 70c 80c 90c )

    Okay, first you need to download latest AfterBurner.

    http://isiforums.net/f/showthread.php/9036-ATI-and-NVIDIA-updates?p=335541&viewfull=1#post335541

    Install both AB and Riva Tuner when it asks.

    Open Afterburner settings you will see " Monitoring"

    In list you can see all the different sensors okay, all you need to do now is enable the ones you want in games.

    Tick the box " SHOW ONSCREEN DISPLAY" for each sensor you want to use, you can also change the order of list or completely disable others ( click on the tick it will go grey like 2nd FPS counter )

    Once you set those go over to notifications in taskbar and click on Riva Tuner.

    enable the OSD
    change position and colour of OSD

    You can set a hotkey to TOGGLE on/0ff.

    Ummmmmmm

    That is about it :)

    CLICK TWICE

    Those numbers hardly say anything besides terrible temps, and they're only real-time stats; use the monitoring graph to check the entire time of gaming, and for all sorts of stats.

    Use Nvidia Inspector, ASUS GPU Tweak, EVGA Precision, or MSI Afterburner to check if the GPU is downclocking or generally doing anything weird. Use the monitoring-graph.

    It keeps this way all the time Spinelli. When reaches 98° - max temp according gpu specs- gpu load decrease a little

    Start Riva Tuner with OSD enabled and framerate is added to list


    Now someone show me a better OSD please


    There is one and I have done posts on that too many times before half a dozen at least

    HWINFO

    http://www.hwinfo.com/


    INSTALL IT , copy and paste it to a temp, UNINSTALL IT
    Use the archive as a standalone sensor any PC

    It does everything above and more BUT you still need RIVA TUNER ie: AfterBurner running
    to use it in OSD mode.

    HWINFO Sensors can be used in OSD in conjunction with AfterBurner/RivaTuner

    and that is only 1/2 of them ............. even logs your SSD lool
