Abd don't worry about Physx, it will work. 347.26 - Branch [r346_00-270] https://forums.guru3d.com/threads/geforce-icafe-347-26-whql-driver.396457/ 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe 344.75 might be most stable driver for both. I dont know why GT 710 is heating that much. it is weaker card comparing GT 730. while GT 730 getting hardly over 70C by heavy use (gaming), GT 710 jumps over 90C. I already replaced thermal paste. Maybe it is using more resource to be able handle graphics - struggling and heating the chip more than GT 730.

j7n Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 What's the use of PhysX in games that this card can handle? That would be additional load on it. I do not know a single game that relies on PhysX, and don't have this bloat in Program Files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides, you could simply get a a bad ASIC quality card. over 90C is the max limit, I think at 95 it should throttle down and reboot to try to save itself. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DXVA2 is natively supported, You can combine it with CUDA, of course. H264 plays fine with DXVA2 up to 1080p. For H264 2160p or H265 8 bit you need to add CUDA to the mix*. *If your CPU is weak.

j7n Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 DXVA is Microsoft's way of accessing it. And DXVA2 exists to promote Windows Vista. MPC-HC gives a choice between DXVA and CUVID. I always choose the latter to not depend on Microsoft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't matter whether you use DXVA (XP) or DXVA2 (Vista), those two are specifically designated as "hardware video decode", Please see the screenshot. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dixel Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 Sorry, got no XP at hand right now. From what is known, MPC-HC relies on Nvidia driver capabilities. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And don't forget, CUDA wears out cards more quickly, as it keeps them at their highest clock rates. The owner of GT710 had complained about high temps. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j7n Posted March 31 Share Posted March 31 On 750 the temp rises in proportion to the utilization, even if the clock stays high. Seeking speed is very fast because it has the extra speed available when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking speed is very fast because it has the extra speed available when needed. GTX 750 is a rare, odd beast. It belongs to a different (newer) gen., despite being among the old Kepler 700 series, it explains the lower temps and better seeking perfectly fine. https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/geforce-gtx-750.c1986 Edited March 31 by Dixel link 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea but it is still poor card and low-profile, i would expect 710 runs cooler. reaching over 90C doesnt make sense at all. and NFS most wanted is not demanding game. it doesnt even support HD resolutions.
