Have you tried underclocking to reduce power usage (and thus heat production)? Seems worth trying before getting an entire new GPU... Performance per watt, I think the 4070 is one of the best cards right now, last I looked. Might be worth seeing what Intel do with battlemage, come Q2 2024.

I picked up a 4070 and have been really happy with the low power draw (and therefore heat) after undervolting it.
Power and heat-wise to performance I was pretty satisfied with 3070 but it's just a feeling and (bad) comparison because now I have 3080 and that chugs power huffs heat lol

I saw a very interesting price for an unofficial pcie rtx a2000 8gb made with leftover laptop chips, how good is that for gaming? Or it's mostly optimized for CAD design?
