I've been playing a lot of S.T.A.L.K.E.R. recently and my 680 is getting pretty toasty. I played for about 4 hours yesterday and it hit 84C.

The game runs at several hundred fps so I've been trying to cap the fps using MSI Afterburner, but when doing this I get quite a bit of input lag.

Anyone got any ideas on what I could do?

You could underclock it. I would try that. Or simply use a more consevative Temp target if your card is compatible with EVGA Precision X.

how about just using v-sync with triple buffering, the lag shouldn't be that bad.

that makes the input lag worse just don't put a fps caps tc, 84c isn't hot.

I tried and it's pretty much unplayable :(

It's more the noise that bothers me, but eh I'll be finishing it soon anyway.

Jiggly, does v-sync on a 120Hz monitor still give horrible input lag?

yeah you get a lot of input lag if you do that @ 120hz/144hz

you can try kegetys fps limiter http://www.kegetys.fi/misc/

D3D antilag v1.01, it only works for dx9 though. you'll have to make sure you're running the game in dx9 mode.
