Stress on CPU and GPU

[ⓎⓄⓊ✖ⒼⒾⓃ]

As soon as I launch the game and go to the menu, the computer starts working at full capacity. My video card (3060ti) starts to exceed 75 degrees, the whole computer starts to hum heavily from the load. And this does not depend on what game settings I set. The result is the same

As far as I know, the game doesn't have any fps limiter, so it utilizes your pc on full.
I can recommend installing riva tuner and set FPS limit to whatever number you desire.

If your temps exceed the max observed load temps under the worst scenarios, then your cooling is inadequate. The first few seconds is it preloading shaders and that always maxes your CPU. Just let it do its thing.

You should always use a frame rate cap at the very least to slightly less than your refresh rate, ( Nvidia Reflex+ boost does this automatically ) to ensure variable refresh rate is in effect, but if you like you can cap it to 60, or 120, or whatever you want.

Vsync On

Thank you! Its make preloading shaders comfortable. So now temp of my card 50-55 degrees. Thank you guys! Vsync works

Of course Vsync works, but not for the reasons you think. Its purpose is to elliminate screen tearing, and it caps your frame rate to your refresh rate. What you're getting from, this is a frame rate cap, so ... lower temperatures.
Don't you like ... hate screen tearing? If you dont have a VRR panel, why was Vsync off? I was assuming you'd have a Gsync or freesync panel, everyone should..

Oh yes, now, when starts first cutscene and all shaders uploaded, gpu and cpu also freaky... I dont understand wtf this is
My problem is not in the frames, but in the fact that for some reason the game automatically sets my system to 100%. This is inadequate. When TLOU came out on PC, my processor only loaded into the menu while the shaders were loading. And during the game there were 60 frames at high and the computer did not get warm and did not make that much noise. Well, another “PC port on release”, we are waiting for patches

It doesnt need a patch because your cooling is inadequate for compiling shaders. Your PC is doing what its designed to do. No harm will come from high % usage.

Man, people are exhausting. It must suck being a developer and having to deal with people reeing about things that arent even an issue, or are user issues.

Games are designed to use 100% of your hardware to give you the best performance possible. Imagine if you wanted smooth performance but a game only used 50% of your PC's power. You would be angry.

If you don't want the game to use 100% of your hardware, lock it to 30 or 60fps. Or upgrade your PC so that it can do the rendering without breaking a sweat. My i7 13700K only runs at 20% while playing the game at 180fps lol

[xShapelessx]

Thats something wrong with your set up.

I also use a 3060 ti and do not have this issue. The game barely heats up past 55 c and most games heat up my gpu to 63 c max load. I use a 7800 x 3d cpu and 32 gb ddr 5 ram. My cpu never goes above 65 c in any game, including this.
75 c isnt bad if you are in a similar climate to me, but mine doesnt go above 65 ever. might be a cooling issue. (Canada at 20 c (this is our summer)

What is your cpu? Other hardware matters

[MericSever]

1. Gpu temps range 60c - 80c are fine (at ^85c it will throttle)

2. Cpu will auto push as high as it can go with sufficient cooling < !! COOLING !!

3. If you have sh*t cooling, ventilation or live in an oven ....... not much to help there

4. Crashing on Intel is often an issue with Ram stability (well known issue)

5. PSU's will shutdown if overvoltage protection is tripped (Hard Crash) this will happen if the say Gpu suddenly asks for 2-3x the power ie. power spikes .... (Im looking at you Nvidia) witch is why many people will get 1200w - 1600w PSU's even if their total TDP should be under 900w (A PSU Can draw more than the top wattage for a small amount of time but the more head room the less it may crash)

Fundamentally thermal issues shouldn't crash a system (it will degrade them though) and will slow it dawn, most crashes are to do with Ram stability, software instability ie. corrupt windows sys often from ram instability or virus's and the system drawing more power than the PSU can handle

Vsync On and if you have MSI motherboard you can try to use Dragon Center app

Also go into your GPU controller (Nvidia Control / AMD Catalyst) and set max FPS to under 200 - say 144, 120, 100, 60 ect. this will help stop runaway gpu issues like trying to output ^500 fps and fraging itself

This solved the problem for me on my 3080ti. Before Gpu was running at 80°c. Set framerate in Nvidia Control Panel to match my monitor, 165, and it dropped down to 76°c. Then in game settings put vsync to half refresh rate and am now down to 60°c.

For some the PC truely is a magic box.

you just halved your 165 fps and also added input lag with vsync. Just set it to 100 (or whatever you want) and turn vsync off if you have a monitor with built-in g-sync or amd something-sync, because it's simply a hardware version of it which works without noticeable input lag.

I personally run the game on a laptop with r6600 and 165 hz screen, so I caped my fps at 65. GPU load is at around 56-76%. As a result, I have some extra performance for heavy scenes. Temps are also adequate because GPU utilization is not full.
