My gpu is overheating in ow
My msi gtx 1080 gaming x gets rly hot when I play overwatch. 90-100% loaded and it hits 75C° when fans 100%. " So what? " u say but when Im playin warzone 2 my gpu 99% loaded all the time and its stable 68C° with 50% cooler. Plus warzone is x2 harder for cpu comparing to overwatch so the temperature inside my pc case is even hotter. Any clues?

;p
GTX1070 not going past 55 degrees celsius.
STABLE?
COD MW 2 runs cooler for me..
There's a problem in your case, the heat just isn't escaping, or you have a hotspot
considering how old our cards are, have you ever re-pasted the thermals??
probably time to do that now [for us both]

I use MSI afterburner, and run a constant 42% fan, rather than only letting it go on when you reach a certain temperature.

Check what the render scaling is at in game, I have a 1080 and was noticing this too and then I saw my render scale defaulted to 200% so basically it was rendering the game in 2x the resolution and then downscaling it

Electronics get constipated when you make them process to much garbage...

Overheating is the result

checked, its 100% non auto

time for new thermal paste

I got my card from service yesterday, its clean and fresh. And the temperatures in warzone is better, its like overwatch overheating some parts of gpu, not the gpu processor itself but VRM or memory mb.

Try the MSI afterburner constant fan, :) should be much better, and over time your boosts should hold/stay boosted for longer, no thermal throttling of nvidia,

The other thing you can google is 'msi mode v3 for gaming'
ensure your GPU is using the MSI methods of communication :) should help a lot - pre RTX3/4 users;

Are you going to test afterburner? Constant fan?

I was using afterburner on a daily. I have even made a temperature graf in it so my fans would start workin on 100% when gpu T reaches 73C. When it was below 62C the fans were off. I dont like the idea of constant fans. Its kinda noisy at high speed so I like it being dynamic. And It doesnt solve the ow overheating problem cause I was gettin 75C with 100% fans. So I just dropped my video settings to minimal-low exept textures and 100% render scale. I also deleted my custom gpu T graf so gpu can make it own decisions about fan speed xd. Now my gpu loading is 70-85% with 72C max T. No more overheating, not noisy and I got 300 fps with stable frametime grav :) (my pc: cpu is 13600kf stock, ddr4 16gb g skill trident z cl 14 3600, sata ssd)

constant fan is not usually a good idea, its better to make a fan curve, agressive at 60C-70C and mild at 50C, the last thing you want is to crack your gpus silicon by heating and cooling down too fast.

well.. that's what a constant fan curve prevents... and It's quiet. .. all the time,, not when some game suddenly starts making the hot spots spread... :/
Again, if you're not willing to try, how will you know?
GPU silicon is not going to crack. You will never reach the extreme temperatures it took to make the GPU inside your controlled system..

How can it be CPU limited when its 99% gpu load all the time? lol
Hen burton Sep 25, 2023 @ 8:24am 
u saying nonsense dude, I cant be capped by my cpu cause my gpu is 100% loaded
1MantisPhoenix Sep 25, 2023 @ 9:02am 
I can't believe you have a 1080 and accept playing on Low... when I easily play ULTRA with a GTX1070... mismanagement of hardware right here... Stop letting your fans stay idle. USE THEM. I've had no problem with 5 years of a constant overclock and 42% constant fan.
Literally TRY SOMETHING NEW>
You don't like the IDEA> but you have never actually practiced trying ANYTHING we've told you here...
My new temps are 49 degrees, haha i read an article on undervolting thanks to MSI afterburner, but i reset it back / feels weird, because the temps may not go as high as before, but once they're there :? it likes to hover pretty near; instead of going back to the thirties...
