I bought a VisionTek 4850 a few months ago and have always had somewhat of an overheating problem. I set the fanspeed to 60% when idle and 75% when gaming. Even at 75% the card's temp when playing games like CoD4 and Fallout 3 is upper 70's low 80s. But during the past few days the card keeps going into the mid 80s, and I'm really noticing a drop in framerate (15-20 when playing Fallout 3). I have the stock hsf on the card, but besides getting an aftermarket cooler I don't know how to lower the temps. My processor temps are upper 30s at idle and mid 50s when under stress, and I have an aftermarket cooler and arctic silver applied. I think the processors are fine though temp wise. I'm not sure what else to do though.
