Graphics card running hot

[Lord Autismo]

Set my upscale only to 110 and low shadows and medium distance on a 3070, am i missing a setting somewhere?

These cards let off a lot of heat, so you need a good airflow in the case. Take the side panel off and if the temps drop then this is the problem area. No game or benchmark should overheat a card at stock.

i mean im running at most 104c which i do not want obviously but it isnt critical levels of heat. No other VR game even gets close to that even with heavy mods

Something must be really wrong for GPU to reach 104c
Are you playing on a gaming laptop or a PC?
If PC, can you give more specific spec and model of the card and CPU you are using?

104c is crazy high

i think the 30 series are considered critical at like 120 but getting close to that isnt preferable. I dont have case issue its literally the game but every thread i go into has someone pretending to know what theyre talking about, something about this games rendering is janky. Best i found is to lower the view distance to minimum, i have a feeling it likes to render the whole map at once

Im not sure how you are hitting 104c. I have a 3080 and i max out at 75C. I think you definitely need better ventilation for you card one way or another. 104c is way too hot, your card will surely throttle at those temperatures or even worse for extended period of time. In general, the maximum temperature an NVIDIA GPU can operate at is around the 95-100 Celsius mark (~200-210 Fahrenheit).

im just saying this is the only game that gets my card to that heat. i play a lot of other vr and non vr games

[Samomo]

So are you going to give more detail about your spec and settings so that we can help you, or are you just gonna keep saying it is overheating over and over again?

Better set a limit to 85°C or less. The performance you get then is the performance you should have when running a GPU normaly. Unless there is some hardware flaw, which is unlikely

It would help a lot if you would list out what you have. Full system specs including case. If you bought a prebuilt, tell us what prebuilt. Another good thing you could do is take a picture of your computer (inside and out) and post it on imgur and link it here.

Literally just wanted to know if there was a setting somewhere i didnt know about riding my graphics card hard lmao

Believe it or not im well aware of the what the PC i built can handle as i not only built but have upgraded it and ran games and programs that are much more intensive

Nobody here seems capable to reading and answering a simple question i figured out pretty quickly after digging through old posts (Funny enough unrelated to GPUs even)

Sorry, but settings usually shouldn't have such a huge impact on temperatures. A correctly built system should NEVER get to 104c regardless of what you are doing. Hence all of the comments trying to get info so they could help.

I'm glad you fixed the issue. What was it? Would be good to add the solution so others in the future know what was causing it.

The issue was from Nvidia software upscaling the game in some wierd ways

Are you sure that's the GPU and not the memory junction? It's too hot for the GPU and beyond the limit (it should be throttling). You should be anywhere between 65c and 85c, depending on model and ambience.

As for game, this one is pushing graphics on a general purpose engine, so I would expect it to push the card harder than a lot of other games. Either way, the overheating issue still shouldn't be happening unless you have a cooling issue.

The memory is only rated for 90 degree's C for a VERY limited amount of time.

Set a frame rate limit because you're going to kill that GPU.

Again, already fixed it

Then edit in what you did and mark that post as the answer so people don't waste their time trying to help you not melt your VRAM...

It shouldn't have even been possible to get that hot so chances are... The real issue isn't actually fixed.

When that memory hit 85 degrees the card should have been running at 100% fan speeds and the VRAM throttled down as low as possible.

I'd be careful because it's happened once which means thermal protection in the cars isn't working properly so.. be careful.
