I recently upgraded from an ASUS TUF 3080 to a used Palit Jetstream 4070 Ti. I found the upgrade was just $100 more after selling my 3080. During testing with Unigine Heaven, the 4070 Ti is getting more FPS as expected, but I'm concerned about the temperatures. My 3080 runs at about 58°C while pulling over 300W, but the 4070 Ti is sitting at 68°C with around 250W. Is this temperature difference normal? Should I consider replacing the thermal paste or taking any other action?

68°C is pretty low for a graphics card. I would uninstall the benchmarks and just play some games. The temps should be fine in proper usage!
Honestly, the cooler on your 4070 Ti might not be as efficient. Also, the GPU chip design can impact heat distribution. 68°C isn't concerning—wait until it hits over 80°C before worrying!
I just expected it to be cooler since I've heard good things about the 4070 Ti's efficiency.
Sounds like a good plan! Focus on gaming!
