Trainz Tragic since 2002
Since I purchased my i7/1070 TANE desktop two months ago I have been reveling in the freedom of being able to run with Vertical Synch set to 'none', as all my previous Trainz/HW combos have been framerate constrained. However, yesterday I installed a system temperature monitoring app , and was disturbed to see the 1070 running at 82 degrees C. And that was only achieved because the fan was apparently quite busy (I hadn't noticed). Setting Vertical Synch to 'full' made no real difference, as I was typically getting about 60 fps anyway. However, setting VSynch to 'half' dropped the graphic cards temperature by 8 to 10 degrees. My senior's eyes can not really see much of a difference in image quality between the three settings (and there may even be a little less lag at the 'half' setting). So for now I a going to keep running at 'half'.
From a bit of googling a I see that 82C is not out of line for a 1070, but I wondered if the cards longevity is being compromised.
Anyone else have any thoughts on this? What do you use?
