In the theory of plate tectonics, the earth's crust is broken into plates that move around relative to each other. As a result of this movement, three types of plate boundaries are formed: divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries.
Graphics card temperatures typically range from 30c to 40c at idle and from 60c to 85c under load. Most high end video cards typically have a maximum temperature between 95c 105C, at which point the system will shut off to prevent damage. A video card is not considered to be overheating until it exceeds 90c under load. At this point, artifacting may start to occur up to the point of thermal shutdown.
What is the normal GPU temperature while running a game? When I am on Star Wars, I notice my GPU temperature is 70-72 celcius. But once the game is minimized and I'm on my desktop, it's down to around 40-42 celcius. Is that normal or should I look into getting a new video card?
