gpu temps gone way up

[Napoleon slice]

I installed a new nvidea graphics driver then noticed the campaign map sent my gpu temps up to 78 degrees. I uninstalled and it's still too high. Yesterday it was fine. I've been keeping it caped at 61fps at max settings 1440p and that kept my temps at 62 degrees for quiet fans and peace of mind.

Has anyone else encountered this lately or know what the answer might be?

What’s the concern with 78 degrees? That temp is ok. There is a lot going on in the campaign map. Optimizations could help but the campaign map is busy and needs to be held in memory for fast scrolling.

My 3080'fans go up at that temp. I prefer to keep it in the 60's for long sessions. Anyway, the sudden jump in temps means something is clearly wrong and I need to know what.

That is an extremely normal temperature for a GPU to get to under certain load conditions. The lowest I tend to see my 3080 at on Ultra is 65C. 🤷‍♀️

But why the sudden change? I had the same settings yesterday and it wouldn't go above 65C.

Hmm hard to say, if the driver update caused it, there's probably some new configuration from NVIDIA that raised the settings somewhere perhaps? GeForce Experience may have 'optimised' the game without alerting you and set things higher, etc.

How ever, are you running any kind of fan control app for the GPU? ie MSI Afterburner? The default fan cooling curve on GPU's is completely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and you largely benefit from setting a manual steeper curve.

Generally the innate curve will never get above any decent fan speed like say ~60% so never cools the card properly. I've actually cooked and killed a GPU after extended use from just using the default curve when I was a tech nub.

Even with this 3080 I hadn't noticed my curve turned off once and went back to default. My monitor started blacking out after heavy, extended use cause the temps shot up per the default fan cooling curve was crap. XD

Odd to have a sudden change but could be many things.

As others though, perfectly fine temp.
Try calling a few frames less, i'm a 60 minimum kinda guy but 50 is fine in WH if your not sensitive.

Have any other demanding games? Would help if narrowed it down to the game or your system.

WOW CA was so nice to give ur computer heatpump potential, also way cheaper then any heatpumper on the marked, i do have to point just how ungreatful you are tho, ur probobly just a hater...

This doesnt have to be related to total war.

Gpus work in clock intervals, Its hardcoded in bios. Like 300MHz, 700MHz, 1200MHz, etc.

%Usage is not most important. Its mostly the clock.

If You ere hardlocked at 60 fps, Your card may have been using medium clock.

Now it started using high one.

There are A LOT of things that may be a factor here. Game of course one. Other are for example drivers, But also windows update, NVidia geforce experience settings, if You use geforce, etc.

If it bothers You You have 3 options:
-replace thermal paste
-modiify fan curve
-undervolting

I did all 3, two years ago. Dropped from 89C to 51C without performance loss.

I noticed in settings shadows were raised to extreme from their usual high. This helped but it still seems hotter than usual on the campaign map. Battles are fine and still stay at around 65C. Mind it's late game and the map is more cluttered than usual so I'll give it the benefit of the doubt. I might try drop anti aliasing to fxaa and tweak a few more settings.
Thanks all.

I enabled 'user defined software automatic fan control' but I'm too timid to mess with it beyond that at the moment.

It's common why more than 60 fps would increase temp.

This game has been overheating nvidia cards since launch. Other 2 games didn't do it.
My 3080 starts boiling in this game and nothing else.

Clean dust off rig lately?

That's all good! The default MSI Afterburner curve profile is waaaay better than the default GPU one, so that's fine. It's not running an app curve at all that can potentially cause the card to overheat. ☺️

I just tweak the profile slightly to basically ramp the fan speed up sooner at the same temps, keeps the temps stable.

If you run an in screen temperature monitor you'll probably notice the temperature fluctuates and doesn't consistently sit st 78C. For me it'll do the 65C-70C during a large battle, but once I'm back on the campaign map it's already down to 45-50C.

Warhammer will have your system using 100% load on the GPU so it WILL get a bit hot. 😄
