My 6700xt GPU is having its temperature capped out at 60 degrees. Which doesn’t let the gpu use its full potential. Any ideas on how to fix this or any settings that I might be missing? Thanks!

To tell you the truth I haven't heard of any Windows nor Radeon settings that puts a cap on Temperature on a GPU card.

Download and run OCCT GPU Stress test and see if the GPU temperature rises above 60c.Keep a close eye on the GPU's Hot Spot and see if it exceeds 110c or not.

If the GPU's Hot Spot reaches and exceeds 110c then the GPU card will throttle or slow down to keep temps at or below 110c. That is one way the GPU will cap its temperature by overheating past 110c.

At 60c temperature the GPU fans should start running to cool down the GPU card.

Just ran the OCCT GPU stress test and it is at 100 percentage usage until it hits 60 degrees but at that point the GPU drops usage. So its throttling at 60. Any other ideas. Thanks for the help.

I would open a Support ticket with the manufacturer of your GPU card to see if it needs to be RMAed to be checked.

If it isn't under Warranty you can try and install the vBIOS of the GPU card again and see if that fixes it.

It is possible the vBIOS is putting the cap at 60c.

Is this a new or used GPU Card?

Run GPU-Z to see what BIOS version you have installed and whether the data matches the data for the GPU card from the manufacturer. You can click on the upper right corner "LOOKUP" to see the exact GPU Make & Model you have.

If used it might have been used  for mining in the past and has a Mining vBIOS installed.

In that case you can download a vBIOS from TechPowerUp for your specific Make & Model and flash it to see if it fixes the problem or not from here: https://www.techpowerup.com/vgabios/?architecture=AMD&manufacturer=&model=RX+6700+XT&interface=&memT...
