Alright so, i have a ATI Radeon 2600 XT for starters.
Alright so ive been hearing the fans inside the computer, there is one on the graphics card, 1 in the front, maybe a third somewhere. Now when i check the temperature on the card, it Peeqs around 69-71 Ussually. It peeqed to 77C. I know not a big change, but im trying to make this card live, not die.
It keeps fluctuating, is this dangerous?
Also would higher graphic games make it heat up faster? Im no computer techy so i wouldn't know.

Yeah, the more stress you put on it the more heated it'll be.

Alright so, when i play mabi for several hours. Mainly just PTJing.
It stays 69-71.
When mabi was down, i was playing Dynasty Warriors online, which as you can easily tell, its bigger and higher graphics
I stayed on for a few hours till mabi came up, then kept switching in between them.
So would the Preformance --- Quality Ratio effect it all? I have it set to preformance at the momment.

Uhh, well... The more your gear your game towards performance, the better your graphics card will perform, and heat up less :U
