If the GPU of the Acer Nitro 5 laptop is used at 99% in a demanding game, but has a temperature of 50°C? Can this lead to a breakdown or rapid wear of the GPU?

Hi, a dGPU running at 99% usage but staying at 50°C is quite unusual, especially for a gaming laptop like the Acer Nitro 5. Normally, when a GPU is under heavy load, temperatures tend to rise significantly—often reaching 80°C or higher. Power Limiting – The GPU might be throttled, preventing it from drawing full power. Also double check the temperatures with a 3rd-party program like HWINO66.

No, 50°C gpu temp and at a frequency of 1252MHz is a normal temp, as the lower the gpu temp the better it is for the gpu, these Nitro gaming laptops gpu’s are designed to reach temps of up to 95°C temps before they triggers an operating system shutdown to protect gpu and they are designed for their cpu’s to reach 110°C before the same trigger is activated. Your Nitro gpu is performing as it was designed.

That's an Nvidia driver issue. It was present in version 576.02. If you updated your GPU driver directly using Nvidia software or without a clean uninstall, the issue may persist in the new driver version as well.

You need to use DDU in Safe Mode: first, pause Windows Update, then uninstall the Nvidia driver in Safe Mode using DDU, and finally install the latest Nvidia driver downloaded from the Nvidia support page.

Steps to use DDU in Safe Mode are shown under step no. 1 in the last note of the optimization guide below:

I shared the screenshot from it. You can skip clean installing IGPU if you want. Just focus on nvidia Gpu driver
