Hello,

I have a GTX 970 (the EVGA 04G-P4-1970-KR one) and when i play any GPU demanding game, it always reaches 80 degrees and i think it starts throttling. It the "Superclocked" model (i didnt overclock it more).

How can i measure the throttling? I must RMA it?

 

Thank you.

not unusual for a blower cooler. 

 

change the fan curve.

Any modern GPU will down clock 13MHz when it gets to a certain temperature.

But unless i make a custom fan profile, and put the fan into 100%, it reaches 80 degrees with any modern game.

You can make a custom fan curve but it will still down clock at certain temps.

Try the aggressive preset if there's one. better than max speed all the time but still fairly audible. either that or clean dust from the cooler

I've found that there's the first bump at the cards ASIC score. so if the card has 75% ASIC it clocks down 13MHz at 75C. weird.

well then the initial drop in frequency should occur at 71C or around that point anyway.

Okay. Its pure logic, if the temps are way too high, the GPU will throttle. But the thing is i think it reaches that temperature very easily, even with not too demanding games. There's any way to check if the GPU is defective?

Maybe clean it and apply new tim. Which should be done with all old cards.

Then kept the fan turned up or get a better card.

For them to tell you theres nothing wrong and send it back? Tim isn't their problem, its the end users.
