What resolution are you all working with?
I need to lower the resolution to 1080p since 2k or 4k exceeds my graphics card limits. The temps are hovering between 60 and 70 degrees, which is concerning. I'm seriously thinking about upgrading to a PlayStation 4 or 5.
I always use 1080p resolution. I never purchased a 2K/4K monitor since it demands a lot of GPU power, and I don't want to invest in both the GPU and the monitor.
Also, a temperature between 60/70 degrees is a typical reading. Is this the temperature when your system is under heavy use or gaming?
I also concur with the previous points about GPU temperatures. 60-70 degrees isn't something to worry about. It's also a very capable card.
You should aim for 1440p/144Hz. With such high FPS numbers, it doesn't matter much when the monitor isn't keeping up and a 2080ti is only hitting 1080p. It's similar to driving a Ferrari in heavy traffic every day—you get bragging rights but never make progress.
I don’t want the temperatures to rise so much and it causes the room to get too warm. I’m unsure about adjusting the voltage settings. I can try running at 1440p. Is there any benefit to the cooler when the temps are this high?
I'm experiencing deja vu...
The heat in your room isn't coming from the operating temperatures. [There are still people who misunderstand this...]
The power usage of the system is what causes the warmth.
Regardless of whether your 2080Ti's GPU core was at 50C or 80C, if it's still consuming around 320w on average, your room will warm up similarly.
The monitor operates within its specifications, and maintaining 1080p should not harm it.
If you prefer a lower heat output, adjust the power limit on the GPU. You can significantly reduce the heat while still keeping most of the performance. I use my 3080Ti at 280W instead of the default 350W. It's water cooled, so the temperature stays below 55°C or so, but the heat is managed through the radiators and dissipated into the room. This makes the space quite warm.
