Just finished up my new PC yesterday and today I finally managed to get some time gaming with it. I’ve seen a lot online about 2080ti running hot when gaming and just want to check to see if my temps are ok, in your opinions. When gaming, the gpu immediately ramps up to 70C. Literally within the first couple of minutes, over the rest of the gaming session it tends to fluctuate at around 75-80+C. It’s an EVGA gtx 2080ti XC using the aggressive fan curve from precision X1. This is at 1440p, 144hz but mainly using high preset graphics, not even ultra. My cpu temps seem fine, it tends to be below 55C. What do you guys think? Are these ok? Thanks!

2080ti temps when gaming

Yep, both of the fans are spinning.

For a 300 watt TDP card those are actually pretty impressive numbers, you have nothing to worry about.
What card have you got now?
Really?! That is reassuring to hear. I suppose it just came as a bit of a shock as I’ve not had temps that high before. The noise is loud with the aggressive fan curve but I can live with it I suppose.
What temperatures would be worrying for this card then?

I would only start to worry if clock speeds started to dial back, on hot days like we had the other week don't be surprised if that happens but on any other day your card should be ok.
Personally I'm sensitive to noise, always have been from the very first PC I built all my upgrades and mods were about reducing noise levels. If noise does concern you then consider moving to a full water cooled build.
I have considered that but have absolutely no idea where I would start and have no experience. I would be terrified of the outcomes!
Those temps seem about right considering the current ambient temps (assuming you aren't running air con).
My 2080Ti FE (running 120% power) ran at between 75 and 80 degrees using the default fan curve. Setting the fan curve more aggressively simply made it hit ~ 80 slightly slower.
Now I have it under water it peaks at 50 degrees using Unigine Superposition and boosts ~ 100mhz higher without touching clock offsets.
You could always look at an AIO / NZXT Kraken G12 as an in-between step.

I was looking into the EVGA hybrid kit but they don’t seem to be in stock anywhere!!
I also did some research about the G12 but I saw mixed reviews about the cooling capabilities for the VRAM and VRM. Do you think that would be an issue?
I was looking at the EVGA Hybrid option as well, but in the end I decided to bite the bullet and go full custom WC. Just really took my time prepping and building the system to ensure no leaks / correct fitment.
When I looked at the G12 I was also thinking about getting some of the little RAM heatsinks to add onto the exposed memory modules.
IIRC Gamers Nexus looked at the VRM side of things and concluded that the airflow from the fan was enough to cool them (plus they are designed to run hot). You can always get heatsinks to go on the VRM's if necessary anyway.
EDIT: Might be worth searching for their (GN) video on fitting an AIO to a 2080Ti.

Will have a look for that now! Thanks

I have the same card and 75c under load was completely normal
Do you still use the card? Did you add any water cooling?

Actually the RMA process took around 3 weeks from Finland which isn't particularly bad at all, rather good seeing that it took 14 days in the post getting there and 7 days for an RMA and a return to my doorstep with a new one. I had the lovely alien creatures visiting my screen.
I'll report back when I stress test it this evening/tomorrow and it's back in the system. The plan is definitely to put it under water, just need to see if this card is stable before I shell out
You may want to remove the competitor name. Its against the forum rules to mention competitors of OCUK
