Thermal stress test for Vastarmor GPUs under max load
To see how the Vastarmor Black Alloy card handled Control 2 on high settings, I ran a 30-minute 3DMark stress test. The core temp eventually settled between 70℃ - 74℃, but the initial frame curve was a total mess. I caught Windows Update stealing CPU cycles in the background, so I nuked all auto-updates and set the game process to 'Realtime' in Task Manager. After that, GamePP showed an average FPS bump of 16% - 20%. One annoying thing: when I cranked the fans above 80% for max Ray Tracing, the card started making this high-pitched resonance noise that's super distracting in a quiet room. Looking at the benchmark curves, the bottleneck is definitely the heat transfer efficiency at full load. This test proved that chasing peak scores is pointless; keeping a flat temperature curve is what actually matters for gameplay, even if there's still some minor frequency jitter under heavy load.
