High GPU temps and low usage

[Crixus33]

Hi. I m new to tech forums and i want to ask for troubleshooting support. I ran into a problem with my stock gigabyte rtx 2080ti windforce regarding high temps and low usage. In assassins creed oddyssey my gpu usage shows around 89 to 95 percent with temps ranging everywhere from 75 to 81 degrees celsius. My ryzen 7 3700x shows usage between 30 to 60 percent, so it shouldn t be a bottleneck issue. Also, ramping up the gpu fans to 100 percent brings down the temp with just 2 or so degrees. I tried changing the power plan in nvidia control panel, but still no change in usage. Case airflow shouldn t be a concern either since i have 6 corsair ll120 fans of which 2 on the aio cpu cooler. I m a little worried about these insanely high temps and the relatively low gpu usage. Maybe you can help me figure it out. Cheers!

75-81 is on the high side but not extreme. Usage 89-95% is perfect.. nothing wrong there

3rd party card with that temp on stock is something wrong.

I missed the ‘stock’ part. But as I said usage is fine, temps are high

So should it be a faulty card ? Or a software issue ?

Check to see if the fans are actually spinning. I had one GPU fan died and I thought it was bad old thermal paste.

I checked, they are working.
