GPU Heat tip

[Samurai Cop]

had an issue and easy fix just thought i would mention. So i was running the game 4k max settings and for whatever reason my GPU would get up to 70 celsius now not overheat territory but weird considering i can run triple A games maxed out and get much lower temps.
Tried lowering all graphics settings and resolution but the easy fix was just to turn vsync on. I guess it limits Framerate which is causing the heating. Usually i have vsync off for everything doesnt seem to effect performance on get steady 60fps.

Just use V-sync. Or limit your fps to 60 inside the gpu control panel.

There is little point in leaving v-sync off because your GPU might be able to run 120 fps for a game but that's 60 wasted frames per second if the maximum your display screen can show is 60 fps. You're literally doubling the workload for no benefit. Or better put- you're just burning energy for no reason.

What GPU are you using? WHAT games are you comparing to when you say "can run AAA games maxed out and get lower temperatures"?
