I have just purchased the above card and all seemed ok until I started playing "World of Tanks". Does anyone know what sort of temps I should be getting with this card? Game is set to max everything and resolution is 1920x1080. After about an hour of playing this game it started to artifact so bad I had to quit the game. I am worried I might damaging the card if I continue to play my favourite game, but surly this card should be able to handle the game at max settings, as my friend is using a Gigabyte Windforce Ghz 7970 in an almost identical system and case and his temps are approximately 56? where as mine are hitting 75?? I was using the official 13.1 drivers and have since installed the 13.3 Beta, but still getting the same problem. Could it be a faulty card or as my friend thinks it may be that the thermal paste is not making contact with the GPU? Previous to this I had an EVGA GTX 680 at the same settings and it never once gave me a problem or got hot like the Asus 7970. I don't want RMA due to the hassle especially with Asus in the UK unless I have to. The card is at factory settings. Room tempature 20?.
