Hello Guys,

I've had my fair share of gaming through my life. I've played poorly optimized games as well as very well optimized games.

Luckily, I've always had quite good PCs and it is something I intend on keep having.

As of now I have the following:

Ryzen 5 5600X

16Gb 3600Mhz (heavily timing optimized RAM)

Gigabyte RTX 3070 8GB Oc

Samsung Evo 970 NVME

Gigabyte M27Q (1440p - 170hz screen).

So my issue with this game is, whenever I run it at 1440p, the GPU is constantly at 100% utilisation, granted it is outputting the 170FPS I tell it to, which makes it the temperature rise to 70ºC-75ºC. Although this isn't concerning, I don't like, personally, to have this temperature on the GPU during my gaming,.

Have any of you experienced this? If so, how did you resolve this? Is this something PA is aware and working on?

Thank you

Cheers.

The 3070 can go up to 93ºC before it even throttles, those temperatures are completely in line with what would happen at 1440p during intense gaming.

Having the GPU at 100% is nothing bad either, seeing that the temps are fine for that, your GPU wants to push as much performance as possible, so It's completely fine.

My GPU is currently at 69ºC as Im writing this and all my fans are put to a silent curve - It's fine, these devices are made to run on hot temperatures.

If you're extremely worried about those temps, get a better case with better airflow, undervolt it, run the game on less demanding settings or just accept that these are fully functional normal temps - especially on an OC version the card.

If you are not running something like MSI's Afterburner (works with Gigabyte's cards too), get that and manually set a fan curve.  Really easy to do.  I have a 1660 super running 1440p at 75 hz and never go above 55 degrees.  My fan curve is set to spin the fans at 75% for temps between 50 and 70 and then 100% higher than 70 degrees.

Out of the box with just drivers your card is going to run those fans conservatively as most vendors like quiet over cooling.

70-75 degrees should be absolutely nothing at all for the hardware. Nvidia’s optimal range is between 70 and 85 degrees Celsius. 

Interesting to see the FPS of the 3070. My 1080Ti (Zotac Mini) runs around 85 degrees (where the fan ramps up so temps usually don´t go above) and delivers about 150-170 at 1600p ("High" spec minus Pleb Blur and Screen shake effects) as well. Looks pretty identical to your system exept that your temps are lower. Nothing to worry at all i´d say.
