Find out at what temperature GPU shuts down

I have a NVIDA GTX 1070 Ti, it quite freqently shuts down while gaming or under heavy load, keeping the fan speeds to a maximum always averts this issue. How can I know at which temperature the GPU shuts down at so I can use the same information in my GPU fan curve

Also is there something that automatically switches off display or something when the GPU shuts down to keep the system still running because my system automatically crashes after that?

Re: Find out at what temperature GPU shuts down

sensors might tell you. journalctl also might tell you and/or it might tell you the temperature limits are buggy.

How do I find and use these sensors? I asked this question because I was not able to find anything related to NVIDIA after a crash

Re: Find out at what temperature GPU shuts down

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lm_sensors but for nvidia you probably rather want to look into nvidia-smi or nvidia-settings for these kind of informations

Re: Find out at what temperature GPU shuts down

The command is `nvidia-smi -q`, printing a long list of settings, including:

Temperature                                                                                                                                         
GPU Current Temp                    : 28 C                                                                                                         
GPU Shutdown Temp                : 97 C

GPU Target Temperature           : 83 C                                                                                                         
Memory Current Temp              : N/A

Power Readings

Default Power Limit                  : 450.00 W                                                                                                     
Enforced Power Limit               : 300.00 W                                                                                                     
Min Power Limit                       : 100.00 W
Max Power Limit                      : 516.00 W

The GPU Slowdown Temp is the one you want to see.
You may also be hitting the Enforced Power Limit.
