GeForce RTX 2060 SUPER and 2070 SUPER review - Graphics Card Temperatures

Graphics card temperatures

So here we'll have a look at GPU temperatures. First up, IDLE (desktop) temperatures, as reported through software, on the thermal sensors of the GPU. IDLE temperatures first, overall anything below 50 Degrees C is considered okay, anything below 40 Degrees C is nice. We threw in some cards at random that we have recently tested in the below chart. But what happens when we are gaming? We fire off an intense game-like application at the graphics cards and measure the highest temperature of the GPU. 

So with the cards fully stressed we kept monitoring temperatures and noted down the GPU temperature as reported by the thermal sensor.

• GeForce RTX 2060 Super - The card's temperature under heavy game stress stabilized at roughly 74 Degrees C. We note down the hottest GPU reading, not the average.
• GeForce RTX 2070 Super - The card's temperature under heavy game stress stabilized at roughly 71 Degrees C. We note down the hottest GPU reading, not the average.
