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

Guys gettin all heated about computer cooling in a gaming forum, lols.

The only non-expense option is to just reduce the graphics settings, other than that you have to go online an purchase a better case purpose built for air cooling. Such a case is going to occupy more space where ever you do your computing. The plus side is the computer will run cool, be quite, and your parts should last longer. The downside is that you will have to do some work to get everything put together and of course there is the expense of purchasing the parts.

The nice thing about a roomy floor tower is that when I open it up to work on it there is so much space in there for my hands, its not like some of the computers I see where its like all these wires just come pouring out the moment the case is opened up.

I recently had to buy the 570 when an AMD R9-390 lost one of it's fans - It got to 80C then - and beyond. There was no need to get a great big card to replace it and then have a bottleneck at the CPU, so I just got a 570 and I'll keep saving for a box upgrade.

I'm not a Guru - just a user/gamer with tenure. I'm still confident anything I have will run cooler than 80C - and fan noise doesn't bother me:

1: it helps drown out the tinnitus from years of abuse at the hands of Led Zeppelin (et.al.)

2: when I'm not playing or doing something at the desktop - the fans idle down and I use the TV to drown out the tinnitus...lol

I've never appreciated being insulted and The 'authorities' will deal with any further incidents.

Most people dont even know how to pull air thru a case these days anyway ......Not to mention i have seen prebuilds with the fans in completly backwards.....But custom fan curve is needed for many games these days as they dont properly optimize anything these days ....I run my fans up to 60% @ 50 degrees I never let anything run @ the so called temps they say it "can" run at 80 degrees is bad MMkay

[Ayahuasca]

There is a ton more things that can add to the problem too like dust.....or having your case up high on a table sometimes the little things make a huge difference

[Ayahuasca]

Do you have a T-sensor in your case interested what the T-sensor is reading inside your case?
And I know people will probably come in droves saying I am crazy but I run my case fans @ 100% always "Fans are cheap" and in 20 years I have had 1 fail in one of my builds. But this will ensure you are pulling the coolest air possible into your case !

Not surprising. I just got a new rig with an i5 10400f, 3060 Ti, 16 GB 3000 Mhz RAM, and it has 4 120 mm fans already in the case, the 3060 Ti is the ASUS TUF Gaming OC V2 with 3 fans, and an RGB Cooler Master CPU cooler. It's not the best or even most decent CPU cooler, but it does the job.

The GPU almost never goes above 65 in any of the games I've ran with it so far (and they're pretty demanding tbemselves, e. g. Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, Gears 5, Watch Dogs 2, etc.) and yet in Watch Dogs 2, I get CPU temps to reach 83 C while staying steady at 75, even though it doesn't go higher than 65 or 70 on Gears 5 or Metro Exodus. Different games hit different parts harder. WD2 taxes the CPU more, so heats it up more.

My GPU has gotten to 91c which is the limit evga precisionX will let it

Please keep your insulting comments to yourself or you'll be reading this forum instead of participating in it.

LOL this made me smile so much. You instigate and claim a soapbox and after you get some heated conversation as intended you threat to report people. What a classy act you turned out to be during this thread.

PS. you most definitely do not need to clean the insides of your PC in every 10 days, unless you live in sawmill.

Because 500 moving trees, rain, running water, beautiful vistas, 50 animals in the distance, and Arthur Morgan's individual hairs require a LOT of linear algebra to draw 60 times a second. ;-)
This game keeps my feet warm.

In this game is normal getting those temperatures with a 3080 rtx... I recommend to do a little undervolting, if you do it correctly, not only you can low 10 or 15 degrees your gpu, but at the same time win some fps too. in this game with my 3080 rtx the game, max temperature i have is 65º.

I already messed with undervolting months before getting RDR2 and it made a huge difference with other games

play with the fan curve it will drop ur temp

This is the way, I've got my evga 3070 overclocked, running at the voltage limit, and sitting at 90-97% usage in game.

Temps never hit 70c, I'd rather wear out fans than my gpu.

[RecluseTheSpiderTTV]

I know this is a bit late, but to anyone who might still see this, I think I found the right settings to make the GPU run at least cooler (I'm averaging 52°C on an RTX 3060 and AMD Ryzen 5600X).

TAA Sharpening: Around 25%
Motion Blur: On
Reflection MSAA: Off
Geometry Level of Detail: 100%
Grass Level of Detail: 100%
Tree Quality: High
Parallax Occlusion Mapping Quality: High
Decal Quality: High
Fur: Medium
Tree Tessellation: Off

Texture Quality: Ultra
Anisotropic Filtering: X16
Lighting: High
Global Illumination: High
Shadow: High
Far Shadow: High
Screen Space Ambient Occlusion: High
Reflection: Low
Mirror: Medium
Particle: High
Tessellation: High
NVIDIA DLSS: Performance

Everything else is default.
Hope it helps.

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.

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.

gpu runs lower than cpu but now some cpus can handle 100 degrees celcius just fine. the modern ones must get to 110/120 to be in danger. 100 for a cpu is perfectly fine for air cooled, gpu a little lower but still 80 is fine especially if it is a high end cpu like a series 20/30/40
