    I finally think they got the cooling issues worked out on the NVidia cards... It's a beautiful thing really. This is just after quitting Borderlands. Check the screenshot!

    EDIT: Just in case you were wondering, its a Sony Vaio CW Series...

    He didn't have "continue refreshing this screen while GPU-Z is in the background" checked.

    Lol this is really funny. He could have smoke coming out from his notebook and yet still thinks that the temp is a cool 39 deg :D

    You guys are haters. Yes, his methods weren't exactly scientific but I can attest to the fact that the CW cooling is phenomenal. My GPU never goes above 58C on full load.

    XGX, just check the boxes to log the file and record information in the background. It'll save a file telling you what the temps were. Try it again to get an accurate temperature recording of when you are actually playing.

    A 40nm GPU does wonders for temperatures.
