GPU at 100% when I play.
-
Can it damage the card or shorten its lifespan? Because when setting up the game - FIFA 14 - with its parameters at maximum, the gpu goes to work at 99%-100%. It is an integrated card (Intel
HD Graphics 4600).
-
It is normal, when there is intensive use of 3D (such as a game) the use is always 99-100%. Does it shorten its lifespan? It is possible, since it will work at higher temperatures, but that is its purpose
-
The dangerous thing is not the workload, but the temperature at which it has to work.
If we are talking about a laptop, solving that aspect (temperatures exceeding 80º) has a very bad solution.

Ok. Thanks for the answers.
Best regards! -
Of course, temperatures - the biggest "enemy" of the GPU and other components.
100% load and 64-67º - are very good temperatures. Going over 74º - that's when you should start to worry.
You can lower the temperatures by limiting the frames per second (FPS): you limit it, for example, to 30-40FPS and everything is perfect, only the gaming experience at +/-30FPS is not the most pleasant, unfortunately. But you get good temperatures :slight_smile:
