Hey there, welcome! No worries if this was asked before—I'm still getting familiar with PC stuff. If you need assistance, just let me know. My system includes an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, a 12-core CPU from ASUS TUF GAMING, an ASUS B550-PLUS WiFi with 32GB RAM, Corsair VENGEANCE RGB DDR4 3200MHz, and a NVIDIA RTX 3080 Ti. I've been using it for about a year mostly for everyday tasks, not heavy gaming. Since I haven't played much, I noticed my GPU temperature stays around 56°C even when running GTA at full settings. It doesn’t seem to impact frame rate noticeably, but it’s a bit puzzling because it never gets too hot. I’ve tried running Furmark for 20 minutes and it still stays at that temperature. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Oh no! I didn't mention I'm using Windows 11.

The game you're referring to is one that was quite old and not demanding much on modern GPUs. It likely runs at around 150 frames per second due to its frame-limited engine. Comparing it to newer titles like CP2077 or Alan Wake 2, you'll notice a noticeable difference in performance.

Great job! I'll test it tomorrow. Just ran a quick check for 10 minutes and earned a new milestone! Woo!

It seems there are some unusual readings. Your clock frequency isn't matching expectations, and the GPU power usage isn't staying within the desired range. Could you share details about your PSU and the number of power cables connected? That would help clarify what's happening.

There’s no strict cap, just a classic title that keeps components relaxed. Some games let the GPU run at idle without boosting and stay cool around 35°C.

Hey, thanks for reaching out. My power supply is a CORSAIR 850W RMx SERIES modular 80 PLUS, and I've included photos of the connections to the GPU.
