Re: Same Temp Readings when Playing WarThunder on High or Low preset GTX 660 2GB

Based on your pics, it makes sense.
If you look at your GPU usage, one is at 98%, the other at 97%. So they were working relatively the same. Also, the power target exceeded 100% in both cases, albeit the high preset a bit higher.
If you're not using a custom fan profile, you should give it a try. It will make a difference in temps and probably a bit in performance as well. I believe the 660 like most of the 600 series cards will throttle down when temps exceed 70C. So optimally, you'd want to set your fan curve to try and maintain 70C or under to avoid throttling.
Also, set your power target up even if you're not OC'ing the core or memory. Your card will also throttle down at or soon after reaching the 100% power target threshold.
