Also, the fans on graphics cards can collect dust over a period of time inhibiting it’s ability to cool the GPU. The heatsink and fan assemblies on the graphics cards are designed to pull the heat away from the graphics card. Click over the “Apply” button at the bottom of the panel to apply the changes. To change this setting, with your mouse, right-click over the Windows desktop and select “NVIDIA Control Panel” -> from the “NVIDIA Control Panel”, select the “Manage 3D settings” from the left column -> click on the Power management mode drop down box and select “Prefer Maximum Performance”. Setting Power management mode from “Adaptive” to “Maximum Performance” can improve performance in certain applications when the GPU is throttling the clock speeds incorrectly resulting in low fps. Setting “Power management mode” from Adaptive to Maximum Performance The new and free version of the GPU-Z software can be downloaded from the website of the developer of this software – The program displays the specifications of Graphics Processing Unit and its memory also displays temperature. GPU-Z is a lightweight utility designed to provide information about video cards and GPUs. To open it, hit Ctrl+Shift+Esc, and then click “More details” if it is present at the bottom left. The temperature monitor is found in Task Manager. Windows 11 has the ability to monitor your GPU temperature built-in, and Windows 10 has had it since the May 2020 update. If the GPU temperature continues to increase despite the performance throttling, the GPU will shutdown the system to prevent damage to the graphics card. If a GPU hits the maximum temperature, the driver will throttle down performance to attempt to bring temperature back underneath the maximum specification. NVIDIA GPUs are designed to operate reliably up to their maximum specified operating temperature.

Video cards can reach high temperatures under heavy load. Graphics card temperatures typically range from 40☌ to 90☌.
