>>"Civ V: all settings on max - 80C"<<< IMO you shouldn't have to put up with that. That is CIV V doesn't need or really use that much Graphic card power. I mean its just a turn based mostly static screen thing. I can see by comparing CPU with GPU activity that its not very demanding but inefficient. Check out the hints re. this & setting 'Fog of War' & 'Tessellation' Low A hint to use a Frame Rate Limiter to set FPS to 20 FPS seemed ridiculous to me . But it does work ok n smooth given the nature of the game & brings the GPU Temp. down. Mostly problems with ATI cards . Installation of the 'Gods & Generals' extension add-on calms it all down quite a lot more. @@@mouse@@@
