CPU temps high..

[Villisika]

Hi all,
First, the game is working fine and the updates are marvellous! But can anyone help me with this CPU temp problems..Everytime I run this game without V-sync, my cpu temp goes up to 99celsius...It's i7 8700K which is "hot chip" and it can hold pretty hot temps and work. I can guarantee that for myself. I've played with this machine now about 7yrs and it still working very well. Normally my cpu-temps are under 80c in "pressure". But 99-100 is too much. When I put v-sync on, temps drop to 75c.....but v-sync in racing sims is what it is. Can someone point out what to try now?
I have rtx2080ti as a GPU and I have 43" 4K g-sync monitor (asus). I also have 16gb ram ddr4 and WIn10 64bit home edition.

Limit the frames in your graphic driver to 120 FPS.

Like in nvidia profile inspector?

In the NVidia CTL Panel, set V-Sync ON, and also limit the FPS rate to just 2 FPS below your refresh rate. Set the V-Sync OFF In-Game.

Thanks all for your help! I made temps drop with v-sync on...it seems that is the only reason for cpu to go crazy. Same thing happened with LMU. I'll try that framerate cap in ctl panel and turning off the v-sync.

I also use MSI Afterburner to create a fan profile that will make the fans ramp up then temperatures go around 70 degrees. Works really well, that way I'm able to increase settings my many games but keep temperatures down to where I find comfortable

Hi and thanks to you also! I have profile in my afterburner too. It was a huge success because now my gpu temps are at 77-80c max.

I did this and at first I noticed no difference..it was still hovering in 177-190fps and cpu was burning hot. Then I noticed that in game folder there was a another .exe..it was that dvxk 64bit .exe and I added that too to my profile in nvidia panel. It worked instantly...now it is running stable 110-119fps without v-sync and cpu-temps were 65-77c and that is ok in my case. Thanks! huge help!

you can run this game on vulkan api right click on raceroom then properties there you can select starting options select the dxvk option

Yes, as mentioned here too, try Vulkan option. Cap frames to your monitors max rate. It helped me a lot. Especially the framerate cap through nvidia control panel and there remember to add both exes to use the profile. rre.exe and rre64.exe and start the game using dvxk mode. That is the Vulkan option..hopefully this helps, it did help me and I was having a bonfire in my computer with my processor temps.

Got to love how these armchair "experts" are so fixated on the DX version that they can't even see a potential solution right in front of their faces.
