Why tf this game make my GPU hot?

[76561198055083273]

I have a perfectly capable PC that can run this game on highest settings on 1440p (RTX 3080, i9 10900KF, 32GB ram but the temperatures still at around 77-79 degree in celcius then I changed all options from ultra to medium and or turned off some things and it still says the same temperature wtf is up with that. I set my curve to make my PC quiet but when it's at almost 80 degrees my fans is about 70% which is pretty loud to me

If you turn down your settings it will increase your FPS but the usage on the graphics card will remain the same. try limiting the fps if temps have you worried. i have pretty much the same setup as you btw.

75-80*C is normal for pretty much any air-cooled GPU while gaming.
Especially on a higher end GPU like a 3080. IDK why you think this is high, or abnormal.

maybe im just used to my setup being great and running other games at 144fps at 70 degrees or less

My AMD RX-570 idles at 122F.
Under load from this or any other game: 150F/65.5C.

If my card was 80C under load - I'd get a fire extinguisher. I'd also do some much needed maintenance with some canned air (like I've been doing every 10 days - at LEAST - since I started this RDR2 Marathon I - and everyone else - seems to find ourselves on).

My AMD FX-8350/AMD RX-570 is NOT the top of the line. It's not even the middle of the line. It's barely 'Marginal', yet I'm doing buttery smooth gameplay at 65 to 70fps and 150F/65C.

the lower the temperature the better but 80°C is nothing to worry about. Thats still normal operating temperature for modern GPUs. RDR2 might be just a bit more demanding than your other games.

This is likely the case, i have a couple of games that heat my machine more than other games which strangely would seem more demanding to run

Its usually red dead redemption 2 or hunter call of the wild, without fail, always heat my machine regardless of settings etc. Never exceeds 70-75 though so i never really worry about it

80 Degree C is pretty normal for air cooled.

You need something special or custom made to get cooler than that, most of the stuff out there is way too packed to get cooler than 80 under load. I've got a massive hand built tower on roller wheels stands about 3 1/2 feet tall almost 4 feet deep and almost a foot across...It has about 16 fans added to this thing front, back, and top...The air flow moves in through the front out the back end...Actually heats the room up a bit and there is a costom reusable air filter on the front literally pulls enough air from the room to gather a lot of dust.
It gets to be about 40-45 C under load and idles at about 32 C. Well this case was meant to house some serious stuff compared to what I use it for, it was intended for 8 SLI graphics processors for well you know what it was meant for showing off. Most consumer stuff though even high end is just too packed into too small a space for running real cool though.

Basiclly limit your game to 60 fps simplest solution is turning on V-Sync. You should see decrease in card usage right then i've 3060TI and get 72 degress max while playing so it does not suprise me to see 3080 get 80. A lot depends on the specific model of the card you posses depending on the cooler and fans the card has there can be 20 degress diffrence between difrent models of same card.With 3080 at 1440p you should be able to run this game at close to max i'm high/ultra on 3060ti in 1440p and get 60fps with ocassional drop in some demanding areas you should know some settings get riddiculously demanding when you push them to max water behaviour or whatever it's called in english when bumped up from 4/5 to 5/5 increased my GPU usage from 65 to 99%. I recommend watching video on Hardware UNboxed about diffrent settings in RDR2 about this kind of thing.
P.S Your GPU temperature is not only based on the card itself but environment in which it works if your case has low airflow then it will get hot it's especially true for those mini-ITX cases some ppl got without furter information there's not much more that can be said

ha ha people with no pc hardware knowledge are funny

Well that's the thing, you have low end hardware so that is not really relevant.
Higher end GPUs tend to run hotter because they are computing and outputting a lot more data at the same rate as that low end GPU.

80*C is not even hot for CPUs/GPUs so IDK what all the cry-baby non-sense is about.
Is this maybe your first PC?

Laptops and Game Consoles run upwards of 70-90*C the entire time you run games on it as well.

80 degrees is ok. They are made to run that hot. Get a better case more fans it's not Rockstar fault lmao

[Bad 💀 Motha]

well also, the default fan curve for most GPUs is configured more-so to be on the quiet side; however this can often mean the GPU could potentially heat up more then expeected, which results in more noise in the end, but in a more annoying way with the fans revving up / down / up / down...

Its better to just do a custom gpu fan curve and raise the fan % slightly at lower temps, so that you can help prevent the gpu getting hot so quickly in the first place.

Too noisy? Play games with Headphones. Or at least get your PC Tower well away from you.

In my 70+ years I have owned many computers, Junior. I have also burned up many components from not performing maintenance regularly.

In those 70+ years I've learned that heat isn't good for your components, so I try to make sure the box and the equipment inside is as cool as possible.

IF my equipment ran at 176F - I would do something about it. I would adjust the fan curves so that they kicked in way BEFORE 176F (80C) and as I've already said; my card - that runs this game buttery smooth at 65-70fps never gets close to 80C - it idles at 122F and runs this game under load at about 154F.

Now - every tech on the planet will tell you that the cooler your equipment is, the longer it lasts and while your parents may just get you another box when you burn up the one you have - my parents died a long time ago and I have to buy my own - so I'd like to use the one I have for as long as possible. When it starts to really suffer - I'll get a newer one (it won't be long, but it also won't be because of this game - it's running fine).

Your computer isn't like your parent's car - it doesn't need to 'warm up' to 80C before it runs right. Mines running just fine at 154F - and it'll run a lot longer than it will at 176F. Guaranteed.

If you have so many PC then you should be aware of the fact that the higher lvl components require more power and thus release more heat it's as simple as that.For a card from xx80 series of Nvidia 80 degress under full load is normal i had 82 on gtx1080 if i remember right.
The only thing possible to lower temperatures on air cooling is improve air flow in case.Or increase fan speed curve on the card however that comes at the cost of noise and not everyone wants a vacum cleaner screaming in their ear.
I'm going to just guess that the 3080 in question is one of the poorer non-reference models especially considering availibility of the card in question i didn't manage to get my hands on 3080 at all lol.
As you said cooler is ALWAYS better but i think you are not aware how hot the high end components can get in recent years especially both on CPU and GPU my 9700K gets up to 85 on 4.9Ghz and that's perfectly normal on air cooling. The higher you go in terms of performance the higher the temperatures go that's why enthusiasts often resort to watercooling. You simply cannot compare low end hardware temperature to top of the line it doesn't work like that comparing top of the line card from AMD and Nvidia that offer similiar performance makes sense your comparing 570 to 3080 which is a card that is around 4x more powerfull is just pointless and certainly doesn't help your case of being some hardware guru with 70+ years of experience you claim to be.

Don´t you think this is something between Juice and Motha? There is no reason to let that escalate any further.
