Question GPU temp reaches 90°C at 66% usage, not even 100% ?

Hi All,

I have a Gigabyte Eagle OC RTX 3060 Ti GPU which ideally stays at 44°C but when under load it goes to 92-93°C and the load is only Valorant with FPS set to unlimited. When I limit the FPS to around 240 it stays at 64°C and when I increase the FPS limit to 250 or 260 its goes bonkers. If I play any heavy graphics game the GPU usage is only 66% but the temperature is 91°C.

Now I have tried to limit the FPS on other games which didn't help, even lowering the graphics was not helpful as within 30 minutes the graphics card will reach 89 - 90 °C. Repasting done, airflow checked, other components are cool and even the graphic card acts normal at a limited FPS in games.
I'm not sure if its a software problem or the graphics card itself?
