I've had this card for quite a while. First off, I'll just say that I'm aware of the fact that it's rather routine for these cards to run quite hot. However, there is something about it that seems really odd to me, and that is that it tends to start running really hot on, of all things, title screens. An example of a game where it does this is Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3. If I pause it and look at the menu screen, or just leave it on the title screen, the temperature goes way up, and the fan starts whirring away. During the actual game, even at the highest settings, not so much.
Here's the real kicker though: It even does it on older games that an older and far less powerful machine could run just fine. It does the same thing playing Railroad Tycoon 3 - just fine during the game, starts running really hot on the title screen. Anyone have any idea what's going on here?
