    At startup?
    After an hour uptime?
    With no programs running?
    When in low power 2D mode?
    What's the ambient temp
    What program used to measure?
    Average of multiple readings?
    What drivers are being used?
    What bios?
    Are the fans on? What speed?

    No offense to the OP but without knowing the answer to these questions and others, the data are meaningless.

    no, all i wanted to know was the real life average idle temps of nvidia cards in general... if we were to do an apples to apples temperature comparison of everyone with the exact same conditions, then it would be much harder to benchmark. since all of us here are from different regions (temperatures) have different models, etc.

    This poll was to get a general idea of what type of temperature range idle nvidia cards show.
