The GPU Temperature chart displays GPU temperature in degrees Celsius for the top 10 graphics devices on the host with the highest GPU temperature.

This chart is located in the GPUs view of the host Performance tab.
Note: The GPUs view is visible only if the host supports GPUs.

Chart Analysis

Monitoring GPU temperature helps prevent overheating, which can result in throttling and reduced performance. Overheating can also lead to hardware damage.

If a virtual machine is experiencing a Quality of Service (QoS) issue, please refer to the GPU vendor QoS documentation. If you use NVIDIA virtual GPU (vGPU) technology, see the NVIDIA Virtual GPU Software for VMware vSphere documentation for more information.
