4070TI Hotspot temperature

[Forceflow]

Started worrying about my 4070Ti Asus Tuf OC hotspot temp.
Ran a Superposition bench, and plotted the GPU temp, hotspot temp and the delta between them.

Does this look normal? Thanks!

Looks fine, temps are decent and delta < 20c is ok

Yup looks fine, you should try an AMD card when it's 30c+!!!

Exactly! 20°c is on the higher side for an Nvidia card but perfectly acceptable. It's what I had on my 6800 XT until I repasted it, now around 15°c at most.

 

[Forceflow]

Yeah, it averages between 12 and 16-ish, so I guess I'm fine

I had the same issue (reference 6950 XT). I went back to team green (AIB model) in the end, quieter, used less power, and I do like to undervolt my cards.

Sorry to necro this thread, but I need some reassurance, because it's driving me crazy.

Cyberpunk, full RT: 71 core, 86 hotspot (delta 15)
Avatar, full blast: 77 core, 95 hotspot (delta 18)

In both cases the indicated load is 100%, but some games make the card run hotter than others, even than synthetic benches.
At no point does the thermal limit sign go off, and except for louder fans (80%) at 77, performance is okay.

Is this still within reason? I'm a bit of a klutz and I don't want to open my card.

The delta is lower than Paul says, so it's fine.

With an undervolt (2745 mhz at 1000 mv, not sure if that's aggressive or not) I can get them down, but I don't want to deal with instability etc

72.9 degrees hot spot on mine but it's undervolted 2550 mhz / 920mv/ +1000mhz vram

What does it do on stock? My OP was all with stock settings and curves.

 

[dave28]

the case and airflow make a big difference, its 285+ watts so is much better in a large high air flow case in my opinion

10 to 15 on mine

59c / 71c `12c, my Hot Spot is lower than his edge temp.

Yup pretty much the same on my XTX Nitro. Saw an XTX Hellhound on Reddit the other day with 40!!!!

never run it on stock, undervolted it on day I bought it 18 months ago and not changed it since

OK just for you and since I have half hour to kill I re-ran superposition at stock (4k optimised) and undervolted. Ambient room temp 26 degrees.

Here are my results:

Undervolted
Score 15961
FPS min 76 average 117 max 144
Temp min 43 max 67
HWINFO reports 73 degrees hotspot with 172watts used max

Stock
Score 15579
FPS min 76 average 116 max 146
Temp min 41 max 76
HWINFO reports 91 degrees hotspot with 280watts used max.

Conclusion - running at stock uses 63% more electricity, runs 25% hotter and produces a 2.5% worse benchmark score, with essentially the same FPS

By the way you owe me a fiver for the extra 108 watts the card used for running that test

 

[Drumroll]

Depending on the task/game the delta will be higher.
Specially if RT is used. Tried some benchmarks and the usual 10-15C during normal games is okay. But if I run a benchmark heavy on RT, the delta can be more than 20C. Other benchmarks without RT or little of it, same as normal gaming.

Superposition is a 7 year old benchmark. Run Breaking Limit https://www.gpuscore.com/benchmarks/gpuscore/breaking-limit/ and come back to me.

I've run that a while ago, performance is about half that of what it is comparatively to Nvidia GPU's in games.

Superposition is just a benchmark of the Unigine Engine, a lot of games are made with Unigine.
