Even after Bennett ' s dud last week ? <| sep |> I was getting frame drops and judder last night on Google Earth VR . First time Id ever experienced anything like it with my GTX 1080 . I put up with it for a while because I assumed it was something to do with my 250 mbit BB connection slowing down because someone else in the house was torrenting . The 3 D models in Earth VR were taking a lot longer to load in than they had been the previous 2 nights . Thus I thought this and the frame drops and judder were related to BB . Turns out I ' d screwed up something with my GPUs fan profile earlier and when I finally lifted the HMD off my head I saw that my GPU was hitting 90 deg and throttling big time . Put the fan profile back to Auto and the card was back at 60 deg and full speed in a matter of seconds .
