I have the great performer Nvidia 6800 GTO from Dell that is so great I have no reason to overclock it on DOOM 3, Rome Total War and all the latestest games of the day.
But as been posted here by others this card can reach 65°C Idle.
So if I'm just web surfing can I UNDERclocking this card when I don't need the full 3D perfomance?
The latest Forceware drivers have a tab to change clocking with separate 2D and 3D clocking settings which makes me think you can have separate settings for each.
I'm hoping to reduce the heat with summer on the way....
I would try an aftermarket cooler like many suggest at Newegg but I don't want to void the warranty. Any suggestions? Thanks!
