Optimizing off or what?

[Plaguelight]

Seems rather strange, really. My GPU shouldn't even be close to being pushed hard by this game, but it's running in the 50s Celsius just on the basic startup page, jumping to 70ish in combat on Medium/60/Vsync. Now, a 2070 SUPER ain't heavy duty stuff, but it's well past the recommended.

Thoughts? Answers to what the heck is going on here?

main menu is strange, some pages of it consume way too much resources. but for main game to run at 70-ish should be normal working temperature for gpu.

Except not really, as I've played plenty of other titles far more intensive than this, and on higher settings, maintaining below 70c easily. Is it the anticheat or something? Similar ♥♥♥♥ used to happen with Apex, where it was fine on splash screen, horrid when in combat.

whats the refresh rate of your monitor? you have vsync so that will limit your FPS therefore the game wont fully utilize your GPU

60, as far as I'm aware. It's nothing big nor fancy. And I'm not looking for FPS gains, just looking for some reasoning to why it's pumping my GPU so hard when there's no need on these low of settings.

As much as I love the wild accusations, gonna have to be the buzzkill and ask for proof.

yup that means the vsync is preventing your gpu to push tru.

turn vsync off or use a monitor with higher refresh rate

Why would I do that when I want to keep it at 60 fps locked?

you need to play the game on a SSD. This is where most issues arise.

oh i thought u want to go higher than 70fps

The reason why ur GPU heats up isnt just because of your GPU but generally your whole pc heats up because the game is Intensive to CPU as well. it happens a lot when a lot of calculation is needed specially when theres multiple things happening on battle.

when the components around your GPU heats up, your GPU heats up as well.

main menu are having lobby/mini game loaded in background incase you doesn't know

Press Tab to switch

[Plaguelight]

To sum up the last posts:

It IS installed on an SSD, not the issue here.

Nothing else is heating up to such a degree, but I'll triple-check the monitoring apps to be sure. Still no reason for it to get THAT hot, my system can run well over the recommended.

And the main menu isn't the problem, it's the fact that it gets hotter EVERYWHERE ELSE. Even if I pull up the Settings, it suddenly heats up.

70c is nothing to a gpu, heck Nvidia optional temp for there gpus is actually 83c, they wont even start throttling tell 90c

Not sure where people are getting the info somehow 70c is hot to a cpu or gpu becuase its not.

Really? Every article I've read over the years says 70c is hot, and anything above 80 is when damage starts.

Not even sure how that started because its factually false.

NVIDIA GPUs are designed to operate reliably up to their maximum specified operating temperature. This maximum temperature varies by GPU. Refer to the nvidia.com product page for individual GPU specifications. If a GPU hits the maximum temperature, the driver will throttle down performance to attempt to bring temperature back underneath the maximum specification. If the GPU temperature continues to increase despite the performance throttling, the GPU will shutdown the system to prevent damage to the graphics card. Performance utilities such as EVGA Precision or GPU-Z can be used to monitor temperature of NVIDIA GPUs. If a GPU is hitting the maximum temperature, improved system cooling via an added system fan in the PC can help to reduce temperatures.

The truth is that there is no such thing as a “perfect temperature” for gaming. Instead, different CPUs produce different amounts of heat.

A low-end processor with two cores may max out at 60°C while gaming with a stock Intel/Ryzen cooler. A high-end 16-core CPU, on the other hand, can max out at 90°C during heavy gaming sessions.

In both situations, the processors are working at their normal temperature.

Nowadays, the absolute maximum temperature of both Ryzen and Intel CPUs is around 100 degrees Celsius. Therefore, everything above one hundred degrees will result in thermal throttling or an automatic shutdown to protect your PC from overheating.

Thermal Throttling
There’s nothing inherently wrong with allowing your CPU to run at its maximum temperature, but it could lead to thermal throttling, ultimately reducing your in-game FPS.

Thermal throttling is a safeguard set in place (by Intel and AMD) that automatically reduces the power to cut down on heat. This technique prevents the processor from heating up too much and activating the second safeguard, automatic shutdown.

And don’t worry, thermal throttling will not reduce your CPU’s lifespan. Nor will it ever overheat because of these safeguards in place.

Keep in mind; the thermal throttle limits vary by model and BIOS settings.

Best CPU Temperature
While thermal throttling is not dangerous, that does not mean you should allow your CPU to throttle. Throttling can cause stutters, reduced average, and minimal FPS ruining your gaming experience. So, there is no perfect temperature, but there is an optimal/best gaming temperature.

Additionally, High CPU temperatures can heat up other components in a computer. This is especially true for graphics cards because they also produce a lot of heat. Once the overall temperature in the case is increased, the CPU, GPU, and case fans will start spinning at a much higher RPM.

High fan RPM can be noisy and extremely annoying. This increase in temperatures can even heat up the room you’re working/gaming in.

To get the best gaming experience, we recommend keeping CPU temperature between 50°C and 70°C. But, this is just a general answer. There are a lot of factors that can influence your experience.


CPU Average Temperature
Intel 12th Gen i9 70°C – 95°C
Intel 12th Gen i7 60°C – 87°C
Intel 12th Gen i5 50°C – 75°C
Intel 12th Gen i3 45°C – 75°C
Intel 11th Gen i9 80°C – 100°C
Intel 11th Gen i7 70°C – 85°C
AMD Ryzen 9 5th Gen 60°C – 82°C
AMD Ryzen 7 5th Gen 65°C – 80°C
AMD Ryzen 5 5th Gen 50°C – 65°C
AMD Ryzen 9 3rd Gen 65°C – 78°C
AMD Ryzen 7 3rd Gen 60°C – 75°C
AMD Ryzen 5 3rd Gen 55°C – 70°C

TDLR you are fine.
