How quickly should GPU temps peak after starting a game?

Specs:

i5-9600K 3.7Ghz (4.6 turbo) - not overclocked
EVGA GeForce RTX 2070 XC Black Edition 8GB GDDR6 (Samsung VRAM)
G-SKILL AEGIS 2x8GB DDR4 3000Mhz - XMP profile set to 3000Mhz dual channeling on slots A2 and B2 on motherboard
ASRock Z390 Extreme4 LGA 1151 motherboard
be quiet! Shadow Rock TF2 cooler mounted to processor - applied own Arctic Silver thermal paste (stock white paste looked like crap)
2x 120mm Aer F120s for exhaust (top and rear mounted)
NZXT H500 compact ATX mid-tower case
Corsair CX650M 80+ Bronze Cert 650W PSU
Crucial 500GB SSD (OS and Overwatch installed here, Black Ops 4, Destiny 2, R6S)
2x 2TB Seagate Barracuda 7200 HDDs (pretty much all Steam games installed on HDD)
Windows 10 x64 Home OEM
1920 x 1080p
60Hz
Ultra to Max settings on most games


Overwatch on Ultra, with frames uncapped (Custom, set to 300 max slider), I see about 160-200 frames depending on the action/map. Of course my monitor is limiting what I actually see but the game is rendering in those frames I mentioned. Using GPU-Z, I notice that my GPU will be in the 60s C but pretty much top at 69/70 C after very little time playing. Probably within 1 match, and my CPU will top at around 50/51 C. But I played two hours straight and nothing went higher than those temps, they just got to those temps within 5 mins I'd say. Of course they immediately drop just sitting on the main menu of the game. What is normal?

That seems fairly normal. My gpu takes maybe 15-20minutes to reach about 72*, then levels off. It may fluctuate very slightly but doesn't go higher. So I think what you're seeing is good.

You're fine, it really doesn't matter how fast the card reaches a temperature, what matters is the temperature itself. My 2080 heats up quickly too.
