Reply to Stardock Background Process is slowing down my computer. in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Interesting... Norton hasn't detected any spyware or adware from Stardock. Even if there is a program running in the background, are you sure it's spyware? If it's true though I will be forced to remove it along with Galciv 2 unfortunately.

No one is talking about the CPU overheating here, it's the video cards. My CPU at MAX load doesn't go over 32C, thanks to a 700W liquid cooling system. I'm getting a litle tired of people thinking that it's improper ventilation, dust, or whatever else. It is Galciv 2 specifically. Am I complaining about it? No. But it's clear that this game raises the temperature of your video card to abnormal levels not seen in previous games before it. Perhaps you would like to

Hovering between 59.9-60.1 FPS , won't go higher then that.

I'm not actually complaining about it or even asking for a way to fix it, lol. Personally I think it's great that the game uses such an advanced rendering engine. I just want to point out though that this game does tax video cards to new levels and that there is most likely nothing wrong with this guys computer.

My bet is that his PC is working just fine. It's no coincidence that both my video cards run extremely hot at the same time, and only with this game. Sure they get hot when playing some other highly graphics intensive games but Galciv 2 takes them to the 75C+ mark. That's 20 degrees celsius more than even the most demanding games I've thrown at these puppies. 1680x1050x32, 4x AA. One of my cards would chew that up and spit it out let alone both in SLI mode.... It is a drama

Both my 7800 GTX's reach critical temperatures with Galciv 2. ;/

Reply to Galciv 2 Video Card Temperature Observation in Galactic Civilizations II Stardock Forums

Sorry for the misleading thread title, thank you for changing it. I run the game at my native 1680x1050x32 resolution on a single LCD monitor (SLI does not work on more than one monitor). I have not lowered the resolution but I am sure the video card temps would drop substantially at a lower setting. I admit that I should be cooling them with liquid as I do with my CPU but this is the first time they have ever gotten this hot. They are very clean and all fans are running at

Galciv 2 Video Card Temperature Observation in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have two Asus Extreme N7800GTX in SLI mode that normally run between 32C-55C at max load. I've never seen either of them go over 55C even from the most graphically advanced games on the market. So I load up Galciv 2 and moments later I notice there's a heat sensor warning going off on my case. I opened up the Nvidia display panel to see that both cards were at 70C and rising fast! I think the game scales to your graphics power by a bit too much or something. Both thes

Watch Your Video Card Temp! in Galactic Civilizations II GalCiv2 Forums

I have two Asus Extreme N7800GTX's running in SLI configuration. They both always run between 32C (idle) - 55C (max) depending on what they are doing. Well...I loaded up Galciv 2 at my native 1680x1050 resolution and saw that both cards were at 70C and rising! A case alarm went off which is what prompted me to check their temperatures. I've never seen this with any other extremely graphic intensive games I've thrown at these cards. I guess I need to extend my cpu liquid coo
