I have an Nvidia GTX 980m in my Sager NP8268-S and recently upgraded to windows 10 from Windows 7. I have installed all recent drivers for the computer off of Sager's website. My graphics driver is 358.91, I am also using stock bios.
I have never noticed any heat issues but recently it has been horrible. Playing any decently intensive game on any settings (Battlefield 4, Witcher 3, BO3, etc.) causes the card to reach temperatures of around 87 degrees Celsius. I have turned the fans to max, cleaned out the laptop with an air can and even moved the laptop to various locations to try and increase airflow. When the computer is idle the temperature of the card hovers around 40 degrees Celcius. I have tried many different options. This is causing horrible stuttering and I am worried that it is also affecting the health of the card. I have included a screenshot of GPUZ while in game of Witcher 3 as reference and can post other statistics. I called tech support for Sager and was only told to wait for better Nvidia drivers, which doesn't exactly help since I'd prefer to use my system now... Thanks!
