Toasty GPU i think?? XFX RX 570

[CSGOaddict]

So, first build, I'm kinda confused as to if my thermals are good.

Ran a 1080p furmark:

 

 

First of all, is this good for an rx570?

 

Also, I had another case before this one, in which the gpu was hitting 95 on this test, so I decided to swap out the case and this has made it better?

And i say that with a question mark because idle is at 40, but yesterday it was idling at 44+.

 

Also I wanted to set a custom fan curve for my GPU but I dont know what a good fan curve would look like, so I needed some help with that!

 

Thanks in advance!

 

EDIT::: ALSO IT WAS HITTING 89 YESTERDAY ON OW on HIGH?? The temp yesterday in my room was about 75 degrees F

temps seem warm, but nothing outragous. 

 

also, just dont run furmark. its known as a GPU killer, and as such the driver throttles the GPU when that runs.

How is your computer in terms of airflow? That could impact it.

Using a coolermaster Masterbox Q300L case with 2 Corsair AF120 fans, one for intake and the other for output. Front and back respectively.

Huh, didn't know that. Won't run it again.

try real game instead of benhcmark

Well, got around 190 on CS:GO at temps around 70C with all low except for shadows at high, if that helps? Got around 120-130 at temps peaking 89C on OW High. GTA all low, got 70 - 100 with all low.

Strange. That is very competent in terms of airflow.

I'm not really familiar with how GPU-intensive Overwatch can be, so I can't give you a 100% informative response here. But I think it'd be a good idea to run some other games and monitor temps, to see if it also reaches those 89º.

Look at previous reply to Wolfycapt!!!

or run something like Unigine Superposition.

there are driver mitigations in place, but it means that Furmark doesnt actually load the GPU fully at all.

we dont care about the FPS. 

 

what temps is what matters. 

 

and yours seem warm, but nothing to be worried about.

If I recall correctly, i tried running that when this PC was in the old case, and it gave me and error and wouldnt run. Will try again.

Ok, sounds good I guess. I can run the GTA benchmark again later and update on the temps for that.

@GoldenLag Peaked at 84 after running Superposition > Game > 1080P high directx

should it be running around 70 ish?

I would expect below 80. Tho XFX doesnt have the best reputation for lower end coolers.

should be sapphire Pulse tho

Conversely I had a rx580 (msi) that ran absolutely fantastic in benchmarks,  yet playing game like Tomb Raider or Tekken I got like ~40 fps even at medium settings,  and of course it ran hot as hell... 

That cured me from ever buying an AMD card again lol.

So you played poorly optimized games that didn't do as high of a framerate as optimized benchmarking software, and blamed the GPU instead of your own preconceptions?

[Mark Kaine]

Lol,  this is reaching when I ever saw one... Tekken and Tomb Raider are "poorly optimized"

Good one!

They really are though... It's not an exaggeration. They are poorly optimized, and especially so for AMD.

Tomb Raider runs very nicely on my i5u /940mx laptop... It's the opposite of poorly optimized... 

 

And while I'm at complete disbelief that AMD GPUs actually work for someone... Apparently they do or no one would buy them,  it didn't for me and like I said, not going to try again,  I have a bit of OCD and setting this thing up, trying to "somehow" fix the awful performance was an absolute pain.

 

Also,  if we're taking what you said at face value,  it means AMD = great for benchmarks,  terrible for games (because they are "poorly optimized") lol

So yeahhh

As I said, it is poorly optimized for AMD. You played 2 of the poorest optimized games for AMD, and thought it represented all games ever. Learn to do basic research into game performance.
