Are they just fake reviews or oblivious? Or is my cooler somehow defective? Or maybe the 3080 12G and 3080 TI cards just run hot and are loud and no one really cares? Reviews say this card is whisper quiet so I'm lost here. but I do loose about 5% performance vs stock (Heaven 4.0 Benchmark at least). If I undervolt to 0.825mv on the GPU core, I have a very stable 1800MHz core that the temps never go above low 70s C and the card's much quieter. Instantly the idle temperature dropped about 8 degress and it takes 10-15 MORE more seconds to reach 83C now. I had Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut laying around so I cleaned the factory paste and applied that paste instead. All 3 fans spin properly.Īll thermal pads are making correct contact with the card's components. Maybe 1 of the fans wasn't working? Nope. Plenty of thermal paste covering the GPU die and cooler heat pipes. I then took the cooler off to check the thermal paste for the GPU. maybe some were not screwed in tightly from the factory. I first checked all the screws on the card. low 80s C but the GPU core runs hot and the hot spot temp is 15 C higher than the die itself. Using GPU-Z, the memory temps are actually decent. it jumps from mid 40s C idle to 83C in about 30 seconds with the fans spinning at 100%.

I ran Heaven 4.0 Benchmark maxed out at 4K to gauge the card's thermal and sound performance and I was absolutely shocked by the terrible results. We use Cyberpunk 2077 for this with a very long manual run-through at “Ultra” settings recording GPU-Z sensor data.I finally built my PC, installed Windows, etc and finally got around to testing / tweaking the GPU in MSI afterburner.

To do this we will record the GPU clock frequency over time while playing a game. We need to find out what it actually runs at in-game, so we can compare the benefit of overclocking. Typically, GPUs today can exceed the “Boost Clock” dynamically. NVIDIA has GPU Boost, and AMD has its Game Clock and Boost Clock quoted frequencies. With both NVIDIA and AMD GPUs, the GPU frequency is dynamic.
