GPU Thermal Policy

cores
®
The GPU Core Clock throttles at temperatures (Tj) higher
than those listed in the below table, which lists the throttling
temperatures and behavior. Thermal throttling is necessary
to ensure that the hottest temperature on the die does not
exceed the threshold temperature for prolonged periods of
time.
Parameter
Thermal Resistance (Junc-
tion to Case, RJC)
Thermal Resistance (Junc-
tion to PCB Board, RJB)
GPU Shutdown Tempera-
ture (OVERT)*
GPU Slowdown Tempera-
ture (THERM_ALERT)**
GPU Maximum Operating
Temperature***
GPU Target Temperature
Notes:
*OVERT assertion results in an 87.5% (÷8) hardware clock
slowdown.
**THERM_ALERT assertion results in a 50% (÷2) hardware
clock slowdown.
***The GPU maximum operating temperature is the maxi-
mum GPU temperature at which the GPU is guaranteed to
operate at the target performance (Base Clock) under the
total board power level.
