    Hi guys,I've ran into some issues with my GPU. I've got Acer Aspire V15 Nitro Black Edition with GTX860m,i7-4720HQ,12GB RAM and when I'm playing GTA V on 1920x1080 High my temperature usually goes up to 90° and my GPU usage is 99% for all the time,could be there some problem with the GPU or is it just bad cooling of my laptop? I also got a cooling pad . Thank you

    These notebooks don't have particularly good cooling - GPU at full load in tests would be at some 85*C so you're not that far off with your temperature although definitely in the wrong direction.

    Make sure you've cleaned the air-vents with some gas duster and re-paste the GPU if you the former does not help.

    Sounds like liquid metal might be a good choice for you.

    I've changed the resolution to lower so the temperature dropped from 90° to approximately 85°C ,sometimes it goes up to 86-87 sometimes its a little bit lower like 84 ..should I be worried about these temps or they are fine...

    These temps are not dangerous to the GPU, not that these are great as such but not dangerous.
