My RTX 2070 is running at 80% speed and 90% load, with the temps reaching 85 degrees. The weird thing is, it’s not even running a demanding game - just something that only requires a GTX 1050. My PC usually doesn’t get this loud even when I’m playing WoW on near max settings. Any idea what could be causing this? Here’s a screenshot of GPU-Z.
Hmm, that definitely sounds like a thermal throttling issue. Have you checked your GPU’s cooling setup? It might need a clean or repaste.
Good point, I’ll take a look at the cooling. Didn’t think of that, tbh.
Maybe the game is just not optimized well for your GPU? Some games can really struggle to utilize the hardware properly.
Ah, that’s a good possibility. I’ll have to look into if there are any known issues with the game and my GPU.
IDK man, that’s really strange. Have you tried checking your power supply? Could be an issue with that causing the GPU to draw too much power.
Hmm, I didn’t think about the power supply. I’ll have to look into that. Thanks for the suggestion!
Might be worth checking for any background programs or tasks that could be running and stressing the GPU. Sometimes that can cause overheating issues.
Good call, I’ll do a full system scan and see if anything is running in the background. Appreciate the tip!
Lol, maybe you just need to give your GPU a break. Looks like it’s working overtime for a game that doesn’t need all that power.
Haha, you might be right. I’ll try lowering the settings and see if that helps. Don’t want to burn out my GPU!
