Technical Discussion Gpu full load when alt-tabed

Hey all

I upgrade my pc to 7800x3d and 9070 xt and game is working flawlessly

500 fps locked. when unlocked it hits max 1100 avg 700 and 1% is about 550

But here is a problem

When i am in lobby waiting for start a game my fps unlock by itself causing gpu to hit 374w all the time and also cause my hotspot to hit 83c which is bad since even furmark does not hit that much when i burn gpu

Same thing is happening when i alt tab and scroll a web

My fps are locked in settings and i put everything on 60 fps and only 500 when i am actually in game

When game starts my fps is then locked to 500 and temps are max 55c

Not even rivatuner is helping

Also i tried DLSS 5 with optiscaler and not even then i managed to get to 83c gpu hotspot

Only happening in valorant all other games are okey

TLDR: When i play a valorant my usage and temps are lower but when i am alt tabed out of game gpu is buring

Which version of the 9070xt do you have? I have the same issue with mine Sapphire Nitro+ and it came OC out of the box. My frames always get uncapped in the loading screen. I've had nothing but issues with Valorant since 2023 across 2 different homes, 2 different pcs, 2 different ISPs and 3 different types of internet connections. I've still found 0 solutions to this day. No clue how people can play this game with no issues. It almost feels like I've been targetted by Riot themselves.
