High CPU temps and mouse cursor lag only while playing BG3

[Pizza Parker]

my mouse cursor keeps micro freezing then catching up and my CPU is running at 80 degrees Celsius what gives?

you either have insufficient cooling or both insufficient cooling and a cpu bottleneck, my 10900k is oced and doesn't get anywhere near those temps and it has crazy high power draw

I have a similar problem. It only is really playable if I turn down the graphics to an ugly degree

Laptop gaming needs special cooling.

I would suggest to throttle the CPU by disabling the Turbo Mode with a third-party application (e.g. ThrottleStop). Limiting the FPS and disabling Dynamic Crowds might help as well.

I get low temps. legit this game doesnt even heat up my pc as much as even Witcher 3. witcher 3 will put me into 70c but this game its like 60c tops without a fan.

nah it doesnt. just in my experience if your apartment is so hot everyones got swamp ass and sticky balls then your electronics wont work well. meanwhile in a cold and dry area in Nevada they work amazing.

Wait you agreed? but this is the internet we have to have a very pathetic slap fight where we both look bad at the end. we cant just be like rational human beings.

You are wrong! (based on evidence Im not gonna bother to present with the excuse that you wouldnt be capable of understanding it.) Also you have bade taste in shoes and that proves all your previous statements in this thread are false.

I mean I was just playing the new demanding avatar game and my temps were only like 50c Baldurs gate 3 is just an odd one.

BG3 is notably demanding on CPU, so people who have never experienced it being the bottleneck before are now. I honestly have no idea which would be for me, as both are pretty overkill (though not the absolute ultimate possible) and the game runs very well with the settings I have chosen. If I had to bet ... probably the GPU would bottleneck first.

When did you last replace the thermal paste? Clean fans?
I'm running a very mediocre CPU, and never really gets above 70 with proper maintenance.

Assuming your hardware is actually decent for the games requirements.

On top of the above mentioned basic maintenance and cleaning, also make sure your fans are running appropriately before there's a problem.

Many built in gpu fans are basically set to save power/make little noise and barely run until they hit high temps and so should be adjusted to prevent them from reaching those high temps in the first place.
