GPU temperature rising in menus

[kylbert]

Does anyone else have problem lika that. On menu my GPU temp rised to 81C on game it lowers to 75C. Maybe its just these warm finnish summer days but It seems that menu is taking so much from my GPU

Theres no frame cap in menu unless you are running vsync. So if you are set in the menu for a long time without vsync itll be trying to render at 9000fps.

Was wondering if this was just me. Run uncapped and the menus + multiplayer lobby kill me. The room gets so hot I'm debating setting up a portable AC unit!

Is there any start commands for cappin fps? or is there any påroblem just use vsync all the time with nvidia GPU

No problem using vsync other than it caps at 30 or 60fps. So if you can only get 45fps ish in places itll cap at 30fps.

I had the same complaint over and over again.


Currently the menu is loading a huge map and rendering all of that unnecessary stuff in real time, perhaps there's no difference being in the menu than starting a race idling during gameplay, very strange descision.

Maybe replace the menu with a simple squar garage with nothing around, that way the hardware won't render all the unnecessary stuff and take a breath.

This is an issue I haven't had yet.
I've had a few others, but not this one.
I manually set my cooling fan settings with Afterburner, maybe that's why I don't have that issue.

If I leave my game at the menu and walk away for any amount of time my fans kick up and my room gets really hot. I have vsync on and run at a locked 60 @3840x2160.

I am running two 1080s but I wouldnt figure sitting at the menu they would be doing much.

Just checked and each card fluctuates from 60 to 75 percent in the menu.

That's because being in menu is like being in game, your cards are constantly rendering the background, have the same thing with my 980ti SLI setup, I play on 144Hz and in the menus the hardware is working as much as during races.

They can rework the menu and make it take less resource, heck I'd be fine just seeing the car on a platform with nothing visible around instead of what we have now.

Any of you get huge RAM usage also

Rivatuner can cap..It's with MSI Afterburner.

[👽H€L¡XX®]

MSI Afterburner/Riva Tuner can cap FPS but it won't cap the menu only.

Most games give the option in Graphical settings for V-synch, but that caps FPS across the board.
NVidia and AMD both have software that does a lot of different things with a lot of options.

There is nothing that will cap the FPS in the menu only.

True.
