Is temp an issue when buying new GPU?

[dgsddfgdfhgs]

Will you look for temp review when buying a gpu?

eg my msi gtx970 gets 73C in reviews but ended up like 85C (with regular cleaning and open case & overclock!!)

without air conditioning, its heating up the desk area quite fast..

 

i mean shall I expect same/ more hotness if new gpu is similarly hot (eg sapphire 5700xt at 79C)?

recent generations run hotter, but the cards won't ever damage themselves. They'll thermal throttle before temps can hurt them. I wouldn't worry about it, unless the amount of heat expelled into your room bothers you

How hot a GPU runs and how much heat it procudes are not specifically the same thing. Imagine having a GPU that procudes 200W of heat while gaming; with a bad cooler on it, it could run at 95C and with a really excellent cooler it could run at 60C, but in both cases it was still producing the 200W of heat into your room. It's just that the GPU with an excellent cooler is better able to move the heat from the GPU into the air, not that it produces less heat.

 

If room-temperature is the problem, you either need to go for a GPU that simply isn't as powerful or you'll need to improve airflow in the room itself.

The coleagues are right. I'd also like to add - you have to carefully consider the cards you're choosing and choose the ones with decent cooling so that the card runs quiet while not overheating. For example, the reference RX 5700XT is hot and loud, the non-reference MSI Evoke 5700XT is also hot and loud (although better/less than the reference) while a Sapphire Pulse 5700XT isn't overly hot nor is it overly loud. It comes to the design choices of the manufacturer.

Thermal's wont be a issue unless there is a defect in the card but better to buy a non-reference card with better air intake fans like dual fans or even triple or cards have thick heat spreader. Don't buy the blower style fans as they have less intake and cooling capacity.

Set an aggressive fan curve.  Those 9xx cards use more power than the new cards and they run hotter because of it.  I just had my old 980sc in while I rma'd and it was pulling 1.2v under load, almost as much as my CPU.  Fan tach was like ~3300 rpm due to the curve, kept it under 65c.  Good case airflow helps too.

I have a GTX 970 reference card with the blower fan, my temps are fine, even with a little overclock. Make sure you have good case airflow and a good custom fan curve, if so and it still runs hot, then try replacing the thermal paste. I like to keep my temps  in the 70's under high gaming workloads.

 

As the reviews show, the 5700xt reference blower card can get hot, very hot, so yes consider temps and many other things when shopping.
