ASN SP4 makes P3D stutters after 15-20 min of usage.

80C for modern video-cards is new normal - there is nothing wrong with that. 

 

 

I can only repeat my question - who said that 80c is high?

 

I propose to read a review on any maxwell nvidia gpu card. 80°C is exactly the thermal limit for nVidia cards. Is the temperature going higher, the boost will be deactivated and the card starts throttling until the temperature drops below 80°C. You are right, technically 80°C would not be to much, but as nvidia has this limit on their maxwell cards, this is sadly how it is.

 

You can read it in many reviews, example:

"With an 80C throttle point in place for the GTX 980, it’s here where we see the card top out at. The fact that we’re hitting 80C is the reason why the card is exhibiting clockspeed throttling as we saw earlier."

AnkH, thank you for that post, that was exactly my point in the second post of this thread..."I'm seeing temps rise quickly to around 80C which causes the card to throttle down and that's when the stuttering occurs.  I've never seen this occur in the past."  

 

So here's my answer...BEAST MODE!  HAHA...arrived last night:
