I rolled back the driver to 270.xx whql.
My ambient temp is around 25 celsius.
Idle temp for the card is around 42 celsius.
Rolling back the driver did not really do anything for fps, but in any case that is the driver I am most comfortable with (can explain if needed).
I have to say it is fairly difficult to keep ambient temps down at the moment here in Florida, it is hot, really, really hot. Airconditioner is running all day struggling to keep the temps down.
Oh, not sure if it really makes a big difference for the card, my case is an HAF 922, door fan and front fan (200mm) blowing in, rear (140mm) and top (200mm) exhaust. Card fan depending if overclocked or not set appropriately (80 - 100%).
Game set to 1xAA (looks better than 2x for me), ssao on, clouds on, shadows, roads, grass on, model detail high, textures original, everything else medium, resolution 1600x900, vsync on (really strong flickering of prop in clouds without vsync).
Monitor 22inch, 1920x1080 native@60hz.
For comparison, in Crysis2 the card runs up to 75 celsius overclocked.
