Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1050 Ti G1 Gaming OC 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 above chart. But what happens when we are gaming? We fire off an intense game-like application at the graphics card and measure the highest temperature of the GPU. 

So with the card fully stressed (3DMark Firestrike Scene #1 looped) we kept monitoring temperatures and noted down the GPU temperature as reported by the thermal sensor.

• The cards' temperatures under heavy game stress stabilized at roughly 61 Degrees C. We note down the hottest GPU reading, not the average.
