I have a Nvidia TitanX in my HTPC, which is known for its high heat output, and it keeps overheating when I play 3D games. The case has two intake fans on one side and two exhaust fans on the other, but lacks ventilation on the top panel. I'm tired of the random shutdowns during game play and was wondering if anyone had any recommemdations for a more efficient GPU.
Running Windows 10.
Have you tried underclocking to reduce power usage (and thus heat production)? Seems worth trying before getting an entire new GPU… Performance per watt, I think the 4070 is one of the best cards right now, last I looked. Might be worth seeing what Intel do with battlemage, come Q2 2024.
I picked up a 4070 and have been really happy with the low power draw (and therefore heat) after undervolting it.
Power and heat-wise to performance I was pretty satisfied with 3070 but it's just a feeling and (bad) comparison because now I have 3080 and that chugs power huffs heat lol

I saw a very interesting price for an unofficial pcie rtx a2000 8gb made with leftover laptop chips, how good is that for gaming? Or it's mostly optimized for CAD design?

nice, for $150 seems worthy
what's the power usage?
