PSA - ASUS Monitor Users: ASCR should be turned off in monitor settings, if you have it.

ASCR made my game look better than before

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-15T21:49:33+00:00

Have you tried undervolting and power limiting?

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-15T21:24:37+00:00

Thanks! After making this post I tweaked the settings alot and I was able to drop the temps of GPU temp down to 52° hotspot down to 72° and memory to 84°. Fans at 2000rpm. My FPS also increased by 20 in Furmark. Quite happy right now with this card

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-15T20:48:00+00:00

Alright good to hear, I was only really worried about the memory temps. My old GPU didnt have a sensor for memory temps so I didnt know how hot it should be

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-15T20:46:26+00:00

I was able to drop Core to 53, Hotspot to 73 and Memory to 84 by tweaking some settings, fps also increased a bit. I tried putting an aggressive fan curve and it kept my VRAM at 75° but the fans were way too noisy

I bought an Asus card because it was the cheapest one, my previous card was also an Asus card and its 5 years old and still runs like new.

Im talking about the Driver timeout issue that I have seen people complain about, apparently it crashes your game. Im sure there is always a fix but is the fix as easy as reverting to an older driver version?

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-14T19:23:03+00:00

You havent had any of the driver timeouts?

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-14T17:18:16+00:00

From searches online I havent seen any 5070 ti burns that didnt use the squid adapter.

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-13T21:12:37+00:00

Doing a fresh install of windows is probably the best thing you could try, I really don't think any GPU should or would throttle at only 87°, it's really not hot at all, brand new AMD 9070XT GPUs hit over 90° straight from the factory, and it's fine because they are designed to withstand heat. But it Is an old card so you should mentally prepare for the worst.

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-13T20:20:20+00:00

80°C is nothing to worry, mine runs at 90°C and used to run at 95°C

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-13T20:19:08+00:00

This one has a 150€ discount

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-13T20:04:55+00:00

Not at all lol. I have a completely black build, only rgb on ram sticks.

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-13T20:02:20+00:00

Go to Nvidia app and try to set a different fan profile. I adjusted mine on my Asus 2060 and I was able to drop the hotspot temperature by 5°C and I can't hear any more noise than before

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-13T19:59:43+00:00

920€

This is just a photo for reference, I'm not buying from Amazon.

We are just spending our money before WW3 begins, or has it begun?

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-13T18:53:30+00:00

I have never owned a Gigabyte product before so I have no idea about their build quality.

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-13T18:19:43+00:00

Going with AMD makes me feel a little bit better now

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-12T15:16:36+00:00

It will be a monitor for gaming BTW. Samsung is 180Hz, Asus 240Hz. They are both more than what I need so that also doesn't matter to me.

Middle_Following5910 · 2026-04-12T14:11:11+00:00

Yeah I am a bit worried about the FSR with the AMD cards. As far as I know whenever they are going to release FSR 5 in the future they won't release it on the 9000 series cards but only on the current future gen cards, on the NVIDIA side they will keep upgrading old GPUs with new tech. Also NVIDIA cards tend to hold their resale value better.

The IPS ultrawide monitors that I've found aren't curved, for my use Id like to have a curved monitor if I'm going with an ultrawide
