For the longest time I've been using an old GTX 970, and decided it was time to upgrade.
I saw an RX 6700 XT that I could afford a few days ago, and ordered it.
Now that it has gotten here, it's not performing like I was hoping it would.
For starters, I was getting slightly better framerates on my 970 (GTA V was the game I was using earlier to test on).
I feel like that really shouldn't be the case.
And for the larger of the two issues I'm having... the temperatures.
I played the game for maybe 6 or 7 minutes, the card got up to 95 C. That seems much much too hot.
And I cannot for the life of me find any information on the safe temperatures with this card.
For comparison, my 970 usually ran in the high 50's to low 60's, though to be fair it was watercooled while the 6700 isn't.
Basically my questions are
-Why would it be performing worse than my 6-year-old GTX 970
-How worried should I be about those temperatures
