What is a normal GPU temperature
A normal GPU temperature is anything below the manufacturer’s official maximum: for GeForce RTX 20/30/40/50 that is 85–93 °C depending on the model (per NVIDIA specifications as of Oct 8, 2026).
For Radeon, AMD publishes a general rule — up to 110 °C on the junction (hotspot) sensor during gaming is within spec; Intel does not publish a maximum for Arc. Below: a table of 33 models, a headroom calculator and sources.

FPSHQ does not measure temperatures: the table shows only manufacturer-published specifications with a link to the source. NVIDIA currently does not publish this data for GeForce GTX 10/16 on its website.
What GPU temperature is considered normal?
A normal GPU temperature is any temperature below the manufacturer’s official maximum. Per NVIDIA specifications as of Oct 8, 2026, the maximum GPU temperature of 33 GeForce RTX 20/30/40/50 models ranges from 85 to 93 °C: for example, 90 °C for the RTX 4060, 93 °C for the RTX 3060 and 85 °C for the RTX 5070. This is a property of the graphics processor itself, so it is the same for reference cards and partner versions with different coolers. For Radeon, AMD publishes a general rule: up to 110 °C on the junction (hotspot) sensor while gaming is within spec; Intel does not publish a maximum for Arc. Manufacturers give no idle limits. If your card sits at the maximum, check case airflow, dust and the fan curve or try undervolting — the GPU will lower its clocks less often.

Methodology and sources
Values come from official manufacturer specifications (NVIDIA — “Maximum GPU Temperature”, power and Founders Edition dimensions on the GeForce comparison page; AMD and Intel — product pages), checked Oct 8, 2026. FPSHQ does not measure temperatures and does not use review data. Catalogue pages are matched by GPU name (1128 pages, including partner versions). More about the methodology →
