Insanely high gpu temps even on lowest of graphics

[Spaggetti]

My RTX 2060 would only take about 5 minutes of playtime for the temps to skyrocket from ~45ºC to ~85ºC even on the lowest graphics setting and with FPS capped to 60 FPS (through nvidia control panel, because it can go higher otherwise).

Which is insane considering the game doesn't even look that graphically demanding. Elden Ring in comparison is much more graphically impressive and would only make my GPU hover around 70~75ºC while rendering much more on a scene, and that's despite people having complained about Elden Ring being poorly optimized on PC.

I have already refunded the game and will wait to test on a future release to check if the optimization is still this atrocious or if improvements have been made by then before buying again. But I'm curious about how many people are experience similar issues.

My graphic not as good as many of you, just RTX 3050, and I constantly get 80ºC to 90ºC, it's normal?

Nope, the cooling is not sufficient for some reason on your card (can be dust, thermal paste, fan's not spinning as high as they should, case suffocating airflow, etc.).

Yesterday, I use MSI afterburner to monitor 2-3 hours of gameplay, with the default graphic medium setting, I get 85ºC to above 95ºC and the fan is louder than playing other games.

I try to monitor Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Ghostwire: Tokyo(both also default graphic medium settings), and I get an average 80ºC to above 85ºC but the fan sound is moderate.

It's doesn't sound like what you said

You could try to limit your ingame fps by turning on VSync.

Does not work, but after I change to a low graphic setting, limit FPS to 60 and disable some of the settings like depth of field, etc, I got a similar result with other games 👀

I guess my spec not superior enough 👀

After reading all others comments, my most concern is loud fan speed(real loud) and quiet constantly getting above 90ºC 🤐 (Google search show others said above 80ºC is normal but above 90ºC is not)

And I change to low graphic setting, limit FPS, no Vsync, and disabling most graphic settings seem to solve the issue

3050 the highest settings and maximum 65ºC.

Yours superior CPU, above 32GB ram, fancy cooling system?

Mine is just a common gaming laptop, the market and YouTubers refer as a budget gaming laptop 🙂

Oh that explains a lot. Laptops have abyssmal cooling, even with fans. They are build compact, so the airflow is terrible and the components are close together, heating each other up.

Thats not quite right. HP has some really good cooling solutions in their laptops. Silent (for a gaming laptop and cool). The new MacBook Pros are on a completly different level and the best gaming laptops (besides a lot of less games to play)

A little caveat about VSync. It used to be a good solution to limit frames to keep a GPU from going crazy in games. However, as 144 hz monitors are getting increasingly common, it's becoming an decreasingly useful solution. Limiting FPS to 144 doesn't really do that much.

High temperatures are, generally speaking, coming from the GPU and/or CPU working hard. This game does not limit FPS without you telling it to. That's fair enough, but it means that if you don't want to fry eggs on your heat sink, you probably should put on an option to limit FPS. There's a FPS limiter in game. There is now one for menus and one for in-game. Use both.

If your PC has started running hotter later in general, it is more likely to be a dust issue. Many PC's have dust filters, which is nice to prevent dust getting in and settling on components, but then the filters can get clogged. Or your PC chassis might be getting full of dust, in which case you should look up how to dust your PC.

If you run the game on a laptop, make sure you keep the laptop on a nice, flat surface and do not obstruct any ventilation openings. In particular, never ever run it on a cloth surface or a pillow/duvet/mattress. Optionally, get one of those cooler underlays.

Just going "Bad optimization" is about the least useful option. V Rising runs on Unity.

best game for winter season to keep your room warm.

what about fixing your cooling?
max temp for the card is 88 c° so i don´t see an issue here.
and if for whatever reason that card would reach that it would start downclocking





what are you even talking about 60+ for a gpu is pretty chill

Whenever I see a post like that I'm like /hmm

So if paint.exe made a PC got o 85 degrees, he'd have no issue.

My game is at 45c but usually it plays at 36-38 on MUCH more demanding games.

Games not optimized at all, probably not using layers or anything.

I mean, as an example, if you told paint to open up a massively complex animation file that used the GPU hard then sure, 85C is fine.

Seriously, the game uses what's available. If you don't like it then there are many ways to limit it. Don't step on the gas then complain you're going too fast.

And another thing, 100% GPU usage in one task is not the same as 100% GPU usage in another. You can run entirely different workloads and it will still report 'usage' percentage in the same way.

Look at power usage if you are worried at all about temperature. All modern GPU's have this available for monitoring.

Just bought the game, my temps are around 74 75c in the starting area locked at 60fps but my fans are on 90% speed and its not going over 76c

On my System it also runs comparatively hot.

It's at 49°C at 80% GPU utilisation (~230Watt). Without Overclock.
Other games reach that temp only if I apply my overclock and increase the powerlimit to 370Watt.

49C isnt hot for a GPU dude..

I said comparatively. For MY System this is hot.

For No system is 49C EVER hot
Doesnt matter what your normal every day temps are for varying games
Not every game is going to utilize the GPU the same way, which would account for temp differences.

If you could see my face now :D
But hey it's steam forum.

One shocker for our electro pokemon. GPU's can start thermal throttling way below 49°C.

So pls just let me be. I won't discuss the ins and outs of GPU's with you. If you realy think I have no idea what I'm talking about that's okay but pls stop educating me.

But if you can't leave it be we could maybe get some real use out of it.
2 Things I don't realy understand.
Why does nobody speak of the "effective clocks" and why are they rarely used?
And
Are 39°C and below thermal/voltage limits still based on software limits or are these actual physical limits?
