GTX 1070 - Temperature While Playing ESO

james.resnerb14_ESO · September 2016

I have a ZOTAC GeForce GTX 1070 AMP! Edition, which is running between 83C and 85C while playing ESO.

I've read different opinions about the acceptable ranges for the card but in general this sounds high.

Anyone else running a 1070 and monitoring temps?

My original GTX Titan gets super noisy when playing eso, never actually read the temp but the fans ramp up more in eso than any other game I play, suggesting high temps. For a while I just assumed it was caused by dust but I recently took my pc apart to clean it and no difference lol, it's definitely the game. It's not difficult to believe the game is poorly optimised.

Nah for that card those are the regular readins. It varies between 75-85. I wouldn`t worry about it unless you start getting driver failures and crashes.

You could always invest in a gaming case with high end cooling system to see if it will affect your card at all but at best it would probably take it down to 75-80.

Are you letting it automatically determine the fan ramp? I never do that on any card, I manually set it for a balance of noise and performance. Usually letting the software control it will result in higher temps because it won't kick the fan up very fast.

Yes, that is high for that card. My reference 1070 is between 60-75 whilst playing ESO. Keep in mind other factors may increase this range such as room temperature, dust, and air humidity.

Did you ever figure out why your temps were so high? I will be playing at 40-45 degrees and I get random spikes that used to make me crash. Now they just annoy me and if I keep doing whatever is causing the spike then my card will crash at like 82. I don't get it. I run benchmarks and everything is perfect. ESO though... I have a reference gtx-1070

85c is only acceptable if your graphics card is 100% Loaded all the time while in game.

I use EVGA GTX 1080ti
On games that are using 100%of the graphics power the temps are reaching 81-85c However after 84c the GPU gets underclocked automaticapy as a safty majure so you dont go even hoter.
I downloaded from the EVGA web software for my GPU and adjustet the fans to work at 100$ load when temps go above 78c , and now my card never reaches more than 80-81c at 100% load.

Holy thread necro, but yeah, that seems way too high!

I have a GTX 1080 Ti and run the game at 1920x1080 with every setting maxed and i never seen more than 45C at any time ...

Card temps are dependent on Case Cooling, and a lot of builds have bad air flow due to lack of fans and wiring blocking airflow.

That being said, GPU's these days run hot, my card won't alarm, not shut down, but alarm until it is 100 degrees C. So, unless the card is throwing off thermal alarms, I would not worry over much.

Although, I prefer to see my video card running in the 60 to 70 degree range as a max, and it never reaches it on this or any other game.

And since nobody asked for pictures, here's one of my rig with somewhat improved air-flow ...

Switch to 4k (even the DSR version) and that will bring your GPU up to closer to 100%, then you will see higher temperatures. It looks prettier too and the 1080Ti can certainly handle it.

Either way, if you download MSI Afterburner (or some other program that can set your own fan profile) you can make your cards maximum temperature much less than the factory default by simply setting you fan speeds faster, sooner.

I've been contemplating 4k but my main monitor is a 27" ASUS 3D Vision monitor, i'd hate to ditch that for a 4k setup.

That thing cost me a fortune when it was new and i do like playing games in 3D vision.
