Very weird GPU heating problem.

[Ameizo]

When I play with v-sync ON (capped to my monitor refresh rate which is 60Hz) results in INCREASED GPU usage and LOWER temps. When I play with v-sync OFF (BUT capped at the exact same fps when vsync is on which is 60fps thru external program called Riva Tuner Statistics server) results in DECREASED GPU usage but HIGHER temps. This makes no sense. Clean, brand new PC.

This is with v-sync on:

This is with v-sync off:

The game is called Warframe.

what happens if you leave the fan speed in auto on msi afterburner .

Nothing, literally the same thing except the v-sync off one get even hotter cuz the auto one is slower.

v sync matches the FPS to your monitors refresh rate to eliminate screen tearing. if it's off your GPU is sending more frames to your monitor than it can handle and thus working harder than it needs to causing the higher temps. i'm pretty sure riva tuner doesn't have anything to do with VSYNC, but hey, i've been wrong before

As you can see in the screen shots, the FPS is the SAME as v-sync on and off. The gpu does NOT output more FPS. I made sure of that by locking both at 60 FPS.

you talk about v-sync and you use a nvidia gpu this one use g-sync so check for the driver if you use the last one from nvidia also what kind of air flow you have in this case since the sync out temp raise .

Decent airflow, updated and did a clean install of latest Nvidia drivers. The weird thing is that with Vsync on I get HIGHER usage and LOWER temps which doesnt make any sense. Should be - higher usage and higher temps.

i would see keep it cool the most you can so when it get under load it wont overheath and cut .
