GPU LAM Temperatures @ Resolutions

[smogsy]

Hey all,

i never thought of this before, not sure why. however i was doing some Testing across the weekend to make my new PC slient as possible whilst getting the Best GPU/CPU Temps.
I also pulled out some different monitors.

What i found was a Fairly big difference in GPU Temps depending on the resolution.

Testing

1800X/1080TI/2933mhz Ram
Room temp 20C (A/C controlled)

All tested Together (after each round i swapped monitors, no reboots)
Reset the settings to correct Resolution
All Settings were Maxed

Battlefield 1 - Fort Map (Infantry) 1 Entire Round Max Refresh -
ASUS PG278Q - 2560x1440 - Low 71C Average 72C Max 74C Frame Limit 144
ASUS PG27AQ - 3840x2160 - Low 74C Average 79C Max 83C Frame Limit 120 (barely got to 60)
Acer X34A - 3440x1440 - Low 74C Average 76C Max 77C Frame Limit 100

i got more Info to add later, just thought id post my findings so far.

Wow, when GPU's work harder they get hotter! Who knew?

It's partly why I have stuck with 1440p/60. I don't often see temps above the mid 60s with a 1080Ti FTW3.

whilst true, its interesting because even though 2560x1440 is pumping out more 44 more frames its still cooler than 100 frames at ultra wide.
they both sit at 99% GPU usage maybe the power is lighter on non UW. from a silent testing aspect its pretty huge. 10C difference depending on Resolution alone!


what i'm interested to see now, is what reviewers do. do they ensure 100% load? and what resolution
