Hey Everyone,
So I recently just built my new gaming rig with the following basic specs:
GPU - EVGA FTW3 ULTRA RTX 3080Ti
CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 5950x
MOBO - Asus TUF Gaming x570-Pro
RAM - 32Gb 3600MHz
CPU Cooler - Noctua NH-D15
Case - Corsair 5000D
Fan layout is:
As for temps, I’m a little worried since I’m idling around 60C and reaching around 80C under heavy load (90C on hotspot). Especially concerned since I’ve seen other examples of the same exact GPU idling around 42C and sometimes less. I’m not exactly sure what’s normal or not but I’m just asking out of pure curiosity.
Now for power draw. For some reason my card is pulling 110W at idle and also is at 1800MHz idle. I don’t have it OC’ed nor do I have Nvidia Control Panel set to prefer maximum performance. So maybe this is the cause for my temperatures?
Lastly I had a question concerning GPU usage. I was running “Escape From Tarkov” with MSI’s OSD in the background and the max usage I was getting was around 75% Max and as high as 80% TDP. Also my core GPU temp was around 73-74C. I’ve been comparing it to others with the same set up and I’ve been seeing better performance on their videos/reviews with higher GPU usage and better FPS. Is there a reason my GPU is not getting to its set 100% usage?
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
