Is it hot in your room? CPU & GPU temperatures during gaming I've never really had a 'good' gaming PC but after getting one I've now been able to play all the games I've never been able to before, however the games I play such as Rainbow Six Siege and Rust cause me worry because I reach 'high' temperatures from short time of gaming. Did we mention that I love AMD's RX 5700.

In truth, it's not far off the performance of the XT card out of the box, but with a hard limit on its clock speeds, AMD has deliberately hobbled the standard RX 5700, so it doesn't embarrass the top card.The difference in RDNA core-count doesn't make a lot of difference when it comes to gaming performance; it's the GPU frequency that matters. Make a custom fan curve and see if that makes you feel more comfortable.IIRC the MSI gaming 2G cards have a thing where their fans dont spin until it hits a certain temperature, might be 60C but not sure. That’s because the GPU is what actually renders the images, scenes, and animations that you see. Dozens of games will push your graphics card to its limits every year. That's probably also a big part of why the RTX cards cost so much more than their 'equivalent' 10-series counterparts.But you don't need to buy at the top of the chart to get excellent performance, as mainstream cards like the RX 570/580 and GTX 1060 3GB/6GB are still totally viable, and at lower settings, the GTX 970 and R9 390 even play along nicely. Even with the fastest graphics card around, running at a resolution that puts more of the burden on your CPU (1080p ultra), there's often only a What happens if you use a graphics card that's 20-30 percent slower than an RTX 2080? It also highlights just how much memory matters in this middle order of the best graphics cards.The GTX 1660 Super is one of four 16-series cards to use the same TU116 GPU and does indeed use the same chip as the original GTX 1660. The extra $200 they demand on top of the RTX 2070 Super price simply doesn't deliver enough extra performance, even at 4K, to make either a must-have upgrade.And the fact that the RTX 2070 Super can nail impressive 4K gaming performance on reasonably high settings makes it a great-value high-end GPU, and one of our current favorites.

It can be a factor, but slower GPUs with 4GB VRAM usually can't handle settings that need 4GB VRAM, and games that need 8GB will also tend to favor GPUs closer to the RTX 2080 than the RX 580. That shiny new graphics card pushing pixels onto your display might be fast, but it could also get hot enough to fry an egg. Thankfully, nearly all modern cards are relatively quiet, even under load, and temperatures are within the acceptable range as well. The equation is pretty simple: the more money you spend on a new graphics card, the more gaming performance you'll be able to squeeze out of it.You also need to make sure your GPU is matched with the If you have an unlimited budget and want the best performance, the Most of us will have to be a little more selfish about our precious PC upgrades, however, and the price/performance ratio of a new GPU is the vital question we need to be asking. But because of AMD's artificial limits, you need to unlock the RX 5700 with a handy bit of software (Google the MorePowerTool) to be able to run them at the same clock speeds.And then it performs just as well as it's a more expensive sibling, outperforming the RTX 2060 Super and delivering excellent 1440p gaming performance. It’s difficult to give a straight answer because the good temperature of GPU depends on what graphics card you have in your PC for gaming purposes..

Sure, you're not going hit 60fps on Ultra Super Mega settings every time, but you'll still be able to pay the rent and game at 4K. Thankfully there are some fantastic graphics cards that won't cost you an arm and leg and will still offer more frames per second than a speed-run of the Louvre. Games continue to push for new levels of performance, but tuning a few settings should keep most graphics cards viable for at least a few years.Dave has been obsessed with gaming since the days of Zaxxon on the Colecovision, and code books for the Commodore Vic 20 (Death Race 2000!). For many, the GPU is universally lauded as the most important for PC gaming. The quality of game drivers and other features supported by the card is essential. And it's the first time that has happened in a long while. If you have at least 8GB of system memory and a Core i7-4770K or better CPU, you should be okay with everything up to about the GTX 2070 Super / RX 5700. When he dropped it out of the window. You will receive a verification email shortly.There was a problem. But, as is turns out, picking the best GPU is not an easy thing to decide. The RX 570 4GB and GTX 1650 Super trade places at the top spot.The problem is that while budget and midrange GPUs on their own may look good, combine it with system price, especially on a decent modern PC, and you're almost always better off putting more money into your graphics card.
