How to Check Your Graphics Card's GPU Temperature? (Windows 10/11)
Your graphics processing unit (GPU), often referred to as your graphics card, is a crucial component for running demanding applications like video games and video editing software. Just like your central processing unit (CPU), the GPU generates heat during operation. Monitoring your GPU temperature is essential for maintaining optimal performance and preventing damage from overheating. What is GPU Temperature and Why is it Important? GPU temperature is measured in degrees Celsius (°C) and reflects how hot the GPU chip is getting. During regular use, the GPU temperature will fluctuate. However, excessively high temperatures can lead to throttling, where the GPU reduces its performance to avoid overheating. In extreme cases, prolonged exposure to very high temperatures can damage the GPU. Ideal GPU Temperature Range The ideal GPU temperature range can vary depending on the specific graphics card model. Typically, a safe operating range for most GPUs is between 65°C and 85°C. If the temperat…
