What if my arc a770 reaches 90 degrees celcius in a game?

[TheRitrax]

In red dead redemption 2 it sometimes reaches 88 degrees

Hello @TheRitrax

Thank you for posting on the Intel® ARC™ Graphics. I am sorry you are experiencing high temperatures when playing Red Dead Redemption 2 on your system.

The temperature threshold for the GPU is 90C so everything under that max temperature should not cause any issue. Are you experience any type of crash as a result of this behavior?

You can follow these general steps to try lowering the temperatures.

If you want, please provide us with screenshots/videos of the issue to verify that information.

but what happens if it exceeds 90 degrees and I have a default in intel arc control that is 90 degrees?

Hello @TheRitrax

Thank you for your reply.

If your GPU exceeds 90 degrees, try the following:

• Check Cooling System is working properly.
• Test another Cooling System.
• Test another Power Supply.
• Update the graphics driver to the latest version on Download Center. For guidance, How to Install an Intel® Graphics Driver in Windows® 10 & Windows 11.
• Update BIOS to the latest version.

Hello TheRitrax

To answer your question more precisely: “What if my arc a770 reaches 90 degrees Celsius in a game?”

Here are some of the common consequences you may experience when you have overheating issues:

1.      Thermal Throttling: High GPU temperatures trigger thermal throttling, reducing clock speed and voltage to manage heat. This safeguards the GPU but decreases performance for tasks like gaming.

2.      Auto-Shutdown: Extreme overheating can trigger automatic shutdowns to prevent potential damage, protecting the GPU and the system.

3.      Reduced Lifespan: Consistent high temperatures cause accelerated wear on GPU components, leading to a shorter overall lifespan.

4.      Performance Degradation: Prolonged high temperatures gradually degrade GPU performance, resulting in lower frame rates, artifacts, and instability.

5.      Component Failure: Overheating risks permanent damage to GPU components, causing partial or complete failure.

6.      Data Loss and Instability: GPU overheating leads to crashes, freezes, and errors, disrupting work, gaming, and tasks relying on stable GPU operation.

Hello TheRitrax

We have shared some important information on what might happen when an Intel® Arc™ GPU gets over its threshold temperatures of 90C, Is there any other concern related to this topic that we can help with.. Please note temperatures under that limit are ok, and they can happen when playing demanding games.

Hello TheRitrax

We hope the information we shared in this thread was useful to you. Mainly the consequences of going over the GPU temperature threshold of 90C will be reduced lifespan or damage to the hardware, as long as the temperature is 90C or less it should be fine. In case you experience temperatures above the limit you can follow the recommendations provided on this thread and of the issue persists feel free to open a new topic so we can assist. We will e closing this thread sine there are no further questions.

Short answer: it will throttle its clockspeed in order to produce less heat and stay at 90ºC max.

But it shouldn't get that hot.

Hello, i found this thread cause i have similar problems. My Intel Arc A770 16 GB has while playing the game Total War Warhammer III everytime 89-90 degres. Settings on Low or Ultra dont make a difference. In Game i recive frame drops to 3 fps every few seconds and sometimes i recive random crashes and GPU Failure Bluescreens.  Direkt after a new start when everything is cool everything works fine.I was able to test a new PSU (750Watt) but it dont help. Driver 31.0.101.4644

update: after a few restarts, different settings etc the temps are mostly 75 degrees and peak 80 degrees. But the Problems with frame drops stays, so i think it not cause of the high temps.
