You could try this?
TechYesCity recommends just leaving the side of the case off and aiming a room fan at it if necessary. He lives in Australia so is used to high temperatures.I've put my hand on the back by the PSU fan and I can't hold my hand there it is so hot, I'm guessing this is the real issue? I already have the full allotted fan slots on the PC used up. What are the options? I don't want to transfer everything over into a new case, could I for example just cut a hole in the top of the case and stick a fan on?
Unlikely as graphics cards use VRAM as opposed to ordinary RAM.Currently have 32gb ram installed, is it possible to dedicate some of that to the graphics card?
Yes, you can get fans that have a Molex connector but you won't be able to control their speed.Not sure what type of connections I need to hook up a new fan, I've looked at the motherboard but can't see another slot for a case fan. Can I plug directly into the PSU?
If it's a low-end card that feature will be disabled.Edit: - Is it possible to buy the same graphics card and have them working in sync?

I'm afraid if leaving the side cover off doesn't work then adding extra fans isn't likely to either.I've just tried removing the side and having a fan, took longer to crash, but still crashed.
I'm not too fussed about controlling the fan speed, just as long as it can keep cool, and allow me to play.
That's deliberate to stop people buying two lower-priced cards instead of one expensive card.I have a EVGA geforce GTX 750 ti 2gb. Apparently it doesn't support having 2 running side by side (sli?).

If you haven't done so already I strongly suggest removing the heatsink from the CPU and the graphics card, then cleaning off and reapplying the thermal paste.
Have you had a good clean out of the dust in the case? as that's a killer of most components which in turn heats them up!
Also, are the fans in the case used as extractors (blowing out, good) as opposed to blowing in (bad)?
Edit: Just read the post above @Marty but second question still stands!
If it only affects one game then it's a compatibility rather than a performance issue.
