I'm running XFX RX 9070 XT Mercury OC and in more demanding games like Dying Light 2 with ray tracing fully on, VRAM temperature is 92°C which is unreasonably high for such an overbuild card with massive cooler that's also touching VRAM modules. Granted, it's not full contact, but even with partial like it is on Mercury OC, it should be lower.
I heard from someone that AMD changed VRAM temperature reporting to now be hotspot by default instead of regular temperature. Anyone has any concrete info to confirm that? All I can find online are reports of "unreleased AMD card with very high VRAM temperatures" and "RX 9070 having issues too" reports all over news sites and nothing else. If VRAM temperature sensor is now indeed reporting hotspot by default for VRAM, that would explain all those leaked reports and it would also explain why VRAM temperature is so high even on Mercury OC. But I don't know for sure and I can't find any reliable resources for it online. Any reliable info on this matter would be highly appreciated.
