Menu screens HAMMER my graphics card

[Doc Clarke]

In game it all seems fine, but I think regardless of the settings menu screen have unlimited FPS. IN game my GFX fan comes on now and again (4070Ti Super).
But in the menu the fans for the card, and the case fans are on full blast within seconds of hitting a menu. Really really hot. Enough to heat a cold room up in 5 minutes.
I try and rush through the menu to get back into the game where the card settles down.
Can we have frame rate control for the menus. 50 or 60 would be fine just for that surely

same card running on a I7 14700k This game runs my card at 90-100% at 60c roughly..
and my frames are locked. I have everything very low and object detail at 25.. running on 2k settings.. this game is a cooker...

[Doc Clarke]

Yeah it's so extreme I'm, worried about playing it for long periods of time.
As a comparison, that is somewhat hotter than Monster Hunter Wilds at full settings.

[Doc Clarke]

Also in the new Nvidia app it says "Program doesn't support optimisation" so you can't change the maximum frame rate from there.
Yes - the "doesn't" is contracted. Which is weird from within an app like this

I use Msi Afterburner!
I've had this problem with a lot of games over the last few years.
MSI Afterburner has completely solved these problems for me.

You have to experiment until you find the ideal settings.

I have:

Core Clock 0
Memory Clock 0
Power Limit 100
Temp Limit 83
Fan Speed 23

My Graka:
NVIDEA Geforce RTX 2070 Super

I play at full resolution.

Good luck

Download rivatuner (rtss) and cap your fps there to about 10% higher than your display allows.

I have no issues with my card (4070ti) but the game does make my 13900k run a little toastier than usual, especially in menus (70c, usually don't hit higher than 65 with games). My gpu has never hit above 70c in this game running everything in ultra 4k.

In the Nvidia app, just set a global frame limit, if you are running gsync or gsync over freesync you need to do it anyways to properly use gsync.

make sure all of your ram settings, cpu settings and graphics setting are optimized, also make sure all of your drivers are up to date

I have a 5800x with a 7900xtx and never do either temperature hit even 60 and I get whatever I have amd adrenaline set to for fps

Thanks for the advice. It's not that I don't think.
In game - during gameplay - it's fine. It's just the menu screens.
Where (according to MSI Afterburner that I just downloaded thanks to the advice above) the game ignores the FPS cap I put on in the settings menu and goes to close to 900 FPS.
Basically once I hit the menu my system pumps out as many frames as it can till one of the elements bottle-necks and the in game settings to limit it to 75 fps are ignored.
In game, while playing. It's smooth as silk. Lovely experience. System stays cool.
Soon as I hit a menu at the end of a round, everything ramps up to stupid high levels. I skip interviews because I don't want to be in those screen at all

Like i said, rivatuner.

Its a lighter program than most others, it's very well known, and I've never had any issue with anything "bypassing" it's limits like some people have with their gpu software.

If youre hitting 900 fps in menus (uncapped) you're going to overheat and burn that card out quick so I'd do it sooner than later.

Thanks myjob, I had Rivatuner on all my systems till about 5 years ago when i thought (wrongly) that these issues had stopped or that the Nvidia app had the solution.
In this case re-downloading Rivatuner is the answer.
Top answer mate. Appreciated.

I’m playing in 1440 and everything on medium in graphics settings, fps in menu is in the 400’s and I have it set to 165fps. Fans are going crazy, and I do get stutter and lag when in the menus and during game play. 4070 super graphics card 17-14700kf cpu

[Josh]

I fixed my stuttering issues with the same solution as 2k23's stuttering issues, but the menu is slow and laggy.

[sowebee2]

Yea, my fans are going pretty fast to when playing 2k25

[Checker]

Why not just turn on Vsync and set it to your monitors refresh rate? Im playing on 1080p with everything set to ultra and vsync set to 60 and menus and game stays pegged at 60 fps. Running a 3060ti and I hardly even hear my fan.
