Ran well for about two months until last night when loading Battlefield 1 crashed the PC, nothing responded and I had to disconnect. Then today it happened again with Battlefield 5—managed to load Battlefield 2042 but experienced extremely low FPS. Turned on MSI Afterburner at 10% usage and 95 degrees!
Usually runs at about 50 degrees at full usage. The card is an MSI Supreme Liquid.
Interesting, I played Assetto Corsa earlier without any problems. The only difference was that Assetto Corsa was played through a VR headset while all Battlefield games were on a HDTV. Any suggestions?

If the pump continues to display RPMs that are promising, there’s nothing to dismiss as pump failure. It might be an air bubble—try shutting it down a few times and then restarting it cold. This could dislodge the bubble and get the pump functioning again.
Take out the card and rotate it through various angles with a light shake, then reinsert.
After this, I’d say the warranty would be in favor of you.

Thank you for the response. I believe the problem might be related to software, since Assetto Corsa functioned properly without any issues during about an hour of play.

How is it secured? The radiator or tubes need to be positioned above the GPU to prevent bubble buildup in the pump. The worst case would be mounting the GPU radiator at the bottom of the chassis.
