I am running Divinty 2 on a notebook which is prone to overheating when the video card is worked too hard. Notebook is a Toshiba Qosmio X305-Q725 w/ Nvidia 9800M-GTX card (1Gig vid. memory).
Even at 1360x768 resolution with no HDR and light shaft rendering disabled, Divinity 2 eventually runs my vid. card temperature up to 100 deg (celcius).
I would like to know which video options I can either reduce or disable that would give me the most bang for the buck as far as reducing heat output.
Granted, I may be dealing with a heat sink or other issue that may require me to send it in for reapir. I realize this, but at this very moment I cannot be without my computer. I was hoping you guys could enlighten me on any settings I might tweak in the game to help me on this heat issue.
Thanks.
No shadows off? Shadows is also a big game killer. But, the fact you are hitting 100C is pretty bad, and needs to be fixed.
Other options is NO AA on, and then go in search of a program to control your fan and crank it. Look for Rivatuner or EVGA Precision software to do that.
But, for REAL bad news, go do a search of "Control Fan 9800m" and see the tons of posts about peoples cards over heating...seems to be common for that model and may not be controllable.
