What video card is it? (Vendor too)

What processes are running?

What CPU do you have?

Have you modified any fan curve settings or overclocked? Do you have any software that may do that behind the scenes (x1 or afterburner for example). Have you messed with the card’s heatsink?

Does it need dusting? How’s the airflow? Is the computer in a good spot?

Are there any vbios updates from the vendor? Drivers up to date?

That’s all the basic considerations I can think of. I also know that it’s normal for windows to utilize 3d settings for transparency on windows gui and other random background tasks. Not to the extent it would sound like a vaccuum cleaner, but that may be able to be addressed by a software fan curve. My evga 3090 is horrible at managing its own fan temps and I had to set a much more aggressive curve to avoid lost frames and obnoxious fast then slow fan speed that destroyed 2/3 of my fans before I caught it cycling (I run folding in the winter so mine is rarely idle)
