RTX 2060 shows performance issues.
The charts indicate the GPU is throttling its performance, increasing to 1900MHz briefly before dropping to 70°C and then returning to a normal 1365MHz. Consider adjusting thermal limits or enhancing cooling solutions.
Thermal target is configured at 87°C, and I’ll display the graphs shortly with GPU-Z and MSI Afterburner.
your temperature shouldn't jump sharply to the maximum and then remain constant. It should follow a normal curve. This suggests an issue with the cooler's pressure—it's not making proper contact with the GPU die, causing heat buildup inside. Is your card still covered by warranty? If not, would you feel okay replacing it?
Here you are, team. Just realized you had to get the GPU-Z TXT file—if you're not sure about it, let me know and I'll capture the file for you. Also, keep an eye on the GPU-Z Sensor Log.txt.
We're missing the hotspot temperature reading, and if my guess is correct, that's likely where the problem is. The hotspot has its own distinct thermal limiting threshold—probably around 100°C on Turing cards, though I shouldn't quote that. If my assumption holds and the cooler isn't properly seated, there could be a significant gap between average and hotspot readings, meaning the GPU might be throttling to avoid failure.
I was correct. The log indicates the hotspot temperature is close to 110°C. The card is throttling to avoid further damage. It’s best to skip any additional stress tests and reach out to EVGA or restore the card yourself.
Yeah, I also noticed the 108c model—it's no longer covered under warranty. I'm going to replace it right away and will keep you updated soon. Thanks a lot!
