RTX 3080 performing as poor as my old GTX 1070 Ti

how close is it from side panel? vertical mounted GPU can have high temps if it's very close to the glass

less than 4 inch is too close

can we also get a photo of the front of the casing?

Able to get Task Manager to show per-core usage instead?

(Work PC, so don't judge peasantry CPU)

 

EDIT:

Just saw your latest post.

4.3GHz, given that usage, and i7-8700's boost profile, 3 ~ 4 cores are active at a time.

 

What computer case is that?

Does it have a solid glass panel at the front or something?

 

80*C within reasonable GPU temperature range.

[Moonzy]

so basically a very restrictive front panel + your CPU radiator pre-heating the air

explains why your GPU temps are high

 

remove the side panel while computer is running, you'll probably see ~10-15c drop

this thread is limiting you, as i've mentioned before

makes sense, but 99% gpu usage and 170 Fahrenheit is quite odd, or not?

Oh...well there you go.

That answers the "higher" temperature question.

A solid panel at the front...there goes great intake airflow.

not really, especially if it's not running full tilt

for a card of that caliber, i accept below 75c, or even 70c when running full tilt in a well ventilated case

 

it is safe, but it is also abnormal

it's a bitfenix rgb black. quite old. no judgement here lol

Just saw the picture of the case front.

These updates are coming in too damn fast~!!

but when playing wow, in exactly the same setup I got around 50 - 60 °C on my GTX 1070 Ti

Hahaha sorry man  trying to keep up with you guys lol. Nah but actually, thank you guys for trying to help me

you're comparing a ~170W card with a 350W card

it's double the amount of heat

You're also looking at almost double the TDP.

 

Edit: was beat to it. The 3000s have the larger cooler because they make so much more heat. It doesn't make them run "cooler" it just helps get rid of the heat quicker. In a case like that, it makes sense for it to be warmer.

I will, but that doesn't explain the 99% Gpu usage. Or am I missing something?

you're using the GPU? idk how else i would explain that

Can't be sure if this is exactly the case, but I personally moved away from full-front closed case and found my GPU temperatures improved significantly.

 

Went from an S340 to a Corsair 275R Airflow and couldn't be happier.

Makes perfect sense to me. But 80+ °C is too much for a game like Wow classic, I feel like.

I'm planning on upgrading the case anyway, but it still seems quite extreme to me lol.

Have you tried firestrike and other types of GPU only benchmarks?

your case's front panel doesnt allow a lot of air flow in + the little airflow is pre-heated by the CPU's radiator

so yes it's not too abnormal to see these temps under these circumstances, but it's not how a good computer should be configured

Does WoW have a built in FPS counter? If so, what are you getting?

open side panel test will prove if my airflow theory is right

Ctrl + F

 

WoW generally isn't a very good GPU benchmarking tool. Inconsistent results depending on how many other players are on screen, and what are they doing.

 

It will bring any GPU to a halt, depending on scenario. 50-60fps is still common in some places even with monster hardware.

what are you talking about? do you CAP your fps in wow classic? if not then of course the gpu will give you 500000 fps and also get warm. cap the fps and you wont get 80 degrees. just because you play a shitty looking game it doesnt mean the gpu doesnt get hot or get used.

You noticed a significant temp change eh?

I'm still rocking a S340 Elite for one of my secondary systems -- it's almost due for an overhaul.

275R Airlfow is a pretty nice case (built a Ryzen 3600 system for my cousin using that case last year)
