    Thank you very much for all answers.

    I've tried GPU-Z, and after 1 hour of playing torchlight 2, my GPU is only 59°C, is it a normal temperature, because it seems to be really cold, doesn't it ?

    Probably isn't really pushing your GPU? I bet you would see some higher temps with a game like BF4.

    You may want to follow this thread link

    This will help you set it up as well

    And the latest versions work for 64bit apps as well.
