Why is this game so GPU intensive??? My 2080 super is overheating

[bc007]

GPU is on 100% running this game, temps reaching 100 degrees C, there are other games with more detailed graphics that don't do this, is the game not optimised?

the only thing i haven't seen on this thread is flashing the bios. you may not have the optimal bios settings for the GPU or CPU.
- there's an old saying, cleanliness is next to godliness. pull the computer apart, clean all the fan blades, blow it out with compressed air, and wipe down the casing.
- move the computer to a high air movement area, like on top of the desk. if it's on carpet under your desk, you have already failed.
- definitely replace the heat sink material . not hard or expensive to do.
- pull and reconnect all the cables to make sure you have good connections at each terminal
- i have a relatively slow computer, I7 9700, RTX 1650 and i don't overheat in this game . I turn everything down 30 fps, no vsync, 60 hz, etc.
- if all else fails, just do the nuclear option. Take off the side panel, get a 20" box fan, turn it on speed 3 and get yourself a set of noise cancelling headphones.

Some tricks I've used to lower temps for many games is to not use the games vsync and frame limiter as they tend to not work as well as forcing it from the drivers. Also you can try disabling full screen optimizations from the games exe in the compatibility tab if you are on win10. Apparently ms changed how this feature worked in previous win releases and it can eat up performance instead of increasing it because its more geared towards allowing their xbox game overlay to work with all games. I turned it off globally via a registry edit and now all my games are running with lower gpu usage. Dropped temps by over 10c for this game just by turning it off.

I've got a 3090 that runs very hot so I'm not even attempting to try this game. I hope it's being looked into.

What branding? No 3090 should be running hot due to the insane cooler they typically mount. My 3080 even before I did the tweaks still wasn't breaking 70c and thats nothing for a gpu.

It's a Gigabyte Eagle OC.

What temp is it getting to? Looked up some reviews and under max load it shouldn't be breaking much over 70~80c if the fan profile is aggressive and that was under heavy synthetic testing which is way more demanding than gaming.

Two weeks ago my 980ti burn down while playing FF. Yes it was old card but def there is a problem with overheating...

I wish we could turn the snow effect off.
