I have Lenovo Z50 with graphic card Nvidia Geforce 480m and i want to play DOTA 2 smoothly. When i play the game offline it is okay, but when I play online It shutdowns 20min after. I think it because of overheating. Does nvidia 480m really overheat early? what can i do to lower its overheating problem.? does nvidia 480m is not capable of DOTA 2?

Test one more. download furmark and start stress test. If it goes above 80-90c abort. Look closely for temperatures and if you see any artifacting or freezing etc. Have you overclocked it?

download GPU-Z and check sensors and clocks, let it be backround and run unigine heaven benchmark, use low settings if you get lags at all run it smoothly but 99% gpu load. What temperatures you get ? Shut off if you go above 85-90c
