For our temperature testing, we measure the peak GPU core temperature under load. A reading under load comes from running Cyberpunk 2077 for 30 minutes.

The Nitro+ is a clear improvement on the reference card in terms of thermals. The Performance BIOS runs 9C cooler in terms of edge temperature, while the Silent BIOS is still 5C cooler too. Both also deliver improved hot spot – or junction – temperatures.
