I recently picked up an RX 7900 XT from Newegg and I’m a bit concerned about the temperatures. It idles at around 45 degrees, but when I play The Last of Us 2, I see it climb to 88-90 degrees, with hotspot temps hitting 104. I’m running it on ultra settings at 144fps with frame generation. Is this typical for this card or should I be worried?
1 Answer
Those temps are definitely on the high side for a new GPU. What do you have in terms of case and fan setup? It could be that your cooling isn’t sufficient, especially if you’re using stock fans. Also, what GPU did you have before the 7900 XT?
If it continues to overheat, you might want to consider returning it to Newegg. High temps can shorten the lifespan of your card.
