Despite NVIDIA's removal of the Hotspot temperature measurements, CPUID developers have deployed the feature to their popular hardware monitoring utility. NVIDIA Killed RTX 50 Hotspot Readings, but HWMonitor 1.65 Just Brought Them Back With Two Sensors While NVIDIA may have dropped the Hotspot temperature measurements from the Blackwell GeForce RTX 50 series graphics cards, the sensors reportedly do exist. We saw how modders brought back the hotspot monitoring through modding, which revealed how some GPUs were thermal throttling despite showing normal average GPU temperatures. The GPUs, therefore, were affected by high hotspot temperatures, resulting in inferior gaming performance. The experiment […]

Mods have unlocked NVIDIA's GPU Hotspot measurement on the RTX 50 series, which can give you a clue why your latest card is running at lower performance. NVIDIA Removed GPU Hotspot Measurement From RTX 50, Focusing On Average Temperatures, But The Latter Masks Your Thermal Throttling Problems Starting with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 50 "Blackwell" generation, NVIDIA dropped GPU Hotspot measurements. According to reports from TechPowerUp and the creators of the GPU-Z tool, NVIDIA had allegedly removed the Hotspot sensor from its latest GPU, which led to incorrect readings in popular diagnostic and real-time monitoring tools such as HWMonitor, HWiNFO, […]
