i just got a saphire hd 5850 for my computer and i have been running dirt 2 that came with it. i checked the temps and noticed that after about 30 minutes of play it is up to 70C is this about right or should i be worried? i have not overclocked it and i have maxed the fan speed to 100%
 
These cards are designed in a way that they can take up to mid/high 90C before they throttle down to save themselves from damage. If you can keep the card under 85C, then you're well into the safe zone.
 
alright good deal. i was kinda worried there for a little while. any one know any good programs so that i can have my gpu temp displayed while ingame? i also have a g15 keyboard if there are any applets for it too that also do the same thing
 
MSI Afterburner is just what you need. It'll work for any brand, and the OSD software has G15 support.
