NVIDIA's GeForce RTX 50 series has introduced various architectural improvements, but one change that caught the attention of hardware enthusiasts wasn't related to the gaming performance or AI capabilities. Instead, it was related to the temperature monitoring on the RTX 50 series graphics cards. Unlike previous-generation RTX GPUs, NVIDIA removed the GPU hotspot measurement from the GPUs, even though the sensor for these cards exists. This prevented monitoring software from displaying the hottest point on the GPU die, which has served enthusiasts, reviewers, and overclockers for years and helped them learn about GPU behavior. This has been discussed across various […]
