Hey. Can someone let me know what the max gpu temp while gaming for the GTX 1660S is? I've been getting not more than 69-70 in games like CSGO, ATS, PES 2021, all maxed out graphics. But whenever I launch games like GTA 5, Mafia Definitive edition, my GPU temp goes up to 87. Is that normal?
 
Solution
Really depends on your configuration, model of card, airflow & ambient temperatures.

In terms of official 'max':
Maximum GPU Temperature (in C) 93

With GPU boost etc, you'll benefit from keeping the card as cool as possible. The 93'C is just a cutoff where you'll start clocking lower than the official spec.

Thank you two for the quick replies! The card is an ASUS Geforce GTX 1660S, It has only one fan. Should I be worried about it hitting 87 as a max temp or is that OK as it only has one fan?

You've got one of the Phoenix cards?

For the card itself, short of running the fan at a higher speed.... Or potentially replacing the thermal paste, it is what it is, unfortunately.

Improve airflow in your case, have a fan more directed at the GPU etc

Think that's the card. I can try boosting the fan speed in MSI afterburner.
