Missing FPS limiter, overheating GPU!

[Floodiastus]

Can't find an FPS limiter, it's overheating my GPU pretty bad. Any solution or fix incoming?

Cant you enable vsync as a workaround?

Same bro

limit fps in gpu driver? or vsync?

[Arnout]

Yes you can enable VSync in game Settings -> Graphics. Note that AoW4 just uses available hardware resources like any other 3D / DirectX12 game.

I guess but I hate the input lag from VSYNC. I just wanna run my Gsync at a reasonable 90 fps or something, not at 200+ fps, it's like a sauna in here!

Yeah but most games have an FPS limiter to not run the GPU into the ground, 200+ FPS seems pointless in a game like this, I just want to set it to a comfortable 90 and be done with it

Then turn it on at the driver level. You should be able to limit the frames on the nvidia control panel. Gsync should be doing this anyway, unless you have a 200+ hz monitor, but you should be able to limit it less than that.

at 80-90 fps my gpu is 83-84º. It does rarely go beyond 76º even at full utilization

Thanks will try it out!

cap your fps in your gpu driver at your monitor refresh rate. generally good advice to do.

I always limit via my GPU via its own driver programs or afterburner to 120 fps max in case a game cant limit and tries to brick my GPU

then you didnt do it correctly. it shouldnt be possible to go over gpu driver cap.
