GPU temperature gets too high
Everytime I play the Crew my GPU card temperature gets too high, sometimes up to 70ºC, and it only happens with this game, I have played many other games and no problems at all, but 5 minutes into this game and my computer fans sound like an helicopter. After 20 mins or so my GPU temperature was at 70ºC.
It's weird because I can play the game fine with stable 30 fps, sometimes dips to 25, but generally allways on 30 fps, I even capped it at 30 to see if it would fix the issue, but it doesn't.
I play AC Unity which is very unoptimized and requires a lot more than this game, and I have no problem.
I've set the graphics on lowest possible, no AA, no shadows, vsync off (i also tried it on to cap the fps at 30), and everything else on lowest possible.
Resolution is set at 1080p but even lowest possible there's no difference at all.
I even opened my computer to check if all the GPU fans were working, and they are.
Surprisingly, my computer was very clean on the inside, minor dust on the case walls but thats just it, so problem isn't dust either.


Here are my specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5 4440 3.10 GHz
GPU: Nvidia GT 630 2GB
RAM: 8GB
OS: Windows 8.1 64 bit.

Maybe it's just Summer, it's 34ºC outside... But any help as why it does this or how to fix it would be appreciated.

The PC was clean on the inside, only some minor dust on the case walls, but I have cleaned that out, and still same.

you could always turn down some of the details and effects ingame. tbh you wont notice you turned stuff down as everything will soon be out of sight when you drive past it. i also have the heating problem with my card also nvidia gtx 760 2g

Thats weird because normally on other games it stays at 60c tops, thats a huge difference.

Edit: I just tested it again, and now it's at 80ºC
GPU load is at 99% and fan speed at 70%
I'm affraid my neighbours will hear my fan noise and might think our town is being attacked by attack choppers.

my 780ti runs at 80c in some games, they are designed to work at temps that high I wouldn't stress.

Maybe, but the fan noise is so annoying, and only happens with this game.

Just crank the tunes when you are driving and it will hide that fan noise, however if the game is running okay and you are under 90-100c you are perfectly fine.

Alright then. Game works very well to my surprise.
I guess I should just turn up my headphones volume to the max to hide the fan noise and hope the neighbours won't call the cops.

Btw there is an FPS cap in game, just turn on vsync and triple buffering so it stops the card from trying to work hard for no reason. cap at 60fps

I capped it at 30, since the max i can get is only about 35-40 anyways.
Thanks for the help.

80c is fine.
infact my 770 at 100% usage and 100% fans means that it runs at 80C
you should be fine untill 95 atleast

It's different for different games:
CSGO: 150 fps 82 degrees
Dragonball Xenoverse: 144 fps 92 degrees
Project Cars: 90-100 fps, 92 degrees
