I am surprised by that. I run a 5850 and under heavy load it has never been over 65C. Stock.


Thank you for that link on the new CCC interface and options.

It will depend on your CCC and Silent Hunter 4 settings.

Try these as close as you can:

AA 16x box
AF 16x
A.I. standard
MM HQ
V-sync on
AA Mode MSAA

In documents\SH4\data\cfg\ open file GFXSettings.cfg and use these lines:

[Current]
DepthBufferEffects=1
Filters=1
Glare=1
UnderwaterDispMap=1
LightShafts=1
3DShipWakes=1
DetailedWaveRipples=1
UnitNormalMaps=1
ShipCausticsEffects=1
Ship3DDamage=2
CharacterDetail=1
ParticlesDetail=9
TerrainObjectsDensity=6
TerrainObjectsLODSize=7
GammaCorrection=50
VolumetricFog=1

- save file, boot up Silent Hunter 4, run in external view for some 10 to 15 minutes and then return to CCC for a temp. reading.

That usually brings the GPU to a boiling point...
