Has anyone else noticed high GPU temps ?

[Kurosu]

Greetings,

For some reason despite the game being old it seems to heat up my graphics card a lot ( 1060)
Its near 70-75 degrees most of the time, it has reached 80 at some point last night.
On the other hand the CPU doesnt give a damn and it has around 1% usage for P4G.

Does anyone have any idea what may be causing it ? I tried using borderless windows or reducing the rendering a bit but it made no difference.

There are no performance issues at all however. FPS are stable at all time , no screen tearing or anthing like that.

25c??? Thats cooler than what my GPU is sitting at the desktop.
and once you increase the settings and resolution scale of course its gonna put a lot of strain on the GPU as you're rendering at ridiculously high resolutions.
The game COULD be optimised better though, I agree, but it's really not that bad.

Build PCs all the time but yeah ok mate...i dunno what im talkin about....

Same here.
25c is only normal if you're in a cool room and you're not stressing your GPU. Even under light loads, unless youre using something like a GT 710 with a decent cooler, it's going to run hotter than that.

That's a PC issue, not a game issue...
My GTX 1080 only reaches around 71c while playing this game at 1440p max settings at 200% render scale, almost always at 110-120fps, and it's overclocked as far as it goes before being unstable. This game is really easy on the GPU compared to newer games, if you're worrying then either clean your PC and replace GPU and CPU thermal paste, or just lower the render scale. 200% isn't necessary, and lowering it the game will still look great but your GPU usage will be significantly lower with less load to your system.

Like I said to the previous person that tried to blame my pc , dont expect me to take you seriously when you try to claim that my pc has issues when I can run AAA games ( lets say the witcher 3 which isnt even a recent game anymore) on max settings and somehow P4Q reaches similar or even higher temparatures. I am trying to give polite replies but you are making it very difficult.

lol, you do realise those temps are just fine? It is perfectly normal for a PC to get warm. If it gets above 90c, thats when you should start worrying. there is absolutely no problem with 75-80.

25C is 77 degree farenheit. Your GPU will be hotter than that with just the Windows desktop. Mine which is an Asus Strix GTX 1080 ti with extensive heat tubing and 3 fans on it runs 29C doing absolutely nothing but displaying the WIndows Desktop. Many people ambient temp is warmer than 25C. And a cooling fan does not blow cold air on some thing it only removes heat. Its not possible for it to be colder than the air around it. A liquid cooled GPU might possibly be cooler than ambient. Although I do not think so unless you actually chill the liquid somehow.

then your GPU is failing dude..70C is nothing. Start worrying when it hits 85C. It wont even throttle the GPU till it hits 95C and wont even shut off until it hits 105C. ICs are made of silicon which is rock. There not pudding.

AMD card are generally hotter. So those temps you listed only apply to AMD. With Nvidia I think you need to start worrying at 75-80C tbh

*facepalm*
just because they generate more heat doesn't mean they can withstand more heat.
90c is the max I would run any component at. I try to aim below 80c but 85c is fine for both the CPU and GPU.
Anything above 90 is when you should try to solve the problem.
1. Clean out any dust, and if you're confident, take off the CPU and GPU cooler to clean it more thoroughly and replace thermal paste. Many tutorials online and people to help out in forums and such.
2. Make sure the cooler is installed correctly.
3. Make sure your case has good airflow. This really is only important if you use powerful components, such as an i7, ryzen 7, rtz 2070, etc. anything lower than those it isn't as necessary. still preferable. If your case allows it, add a couple of fans to the top and front of the case, and make sure theres one at the back.

exactly top and top back exhaust fans front and if there are any in the bottom are intake fans. heat goes up. This keeps the natural flow of fresh air into the case through all the components and the hot air out the top and back..instead of a swirling vortex.

facepalm back, apparently someone still doesn't recognize that AMD cards are hotter and also withstand more heat, the 90C would NOT apply to Nvidia, I'm sorry, I remember how chill my Asus Strix GTX 750 Ti was, it was running at like 60C at full load, with no change in fan curve. You are telling me that 750 Ti running at 85C would be just absolutely fine? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Whatever. Let's agree to disagree. I won't argue any further but 1060 is definitely more chill than 580 and alarm would be raised at lower temps compared to 580

the 750ti would be "fine" at 90c. 90c is not dangerous for any GPU. It is really warm though and I wouldn't recommend it. a750ti is a pretty low power card so it generates less heat.
