Game overheating GPU

[The Busy Bastard]

IS THERE ANY FIX FOR THIS??

Whenever I start the game up I can't play more than 2-5 minutes. My recommended is high or more, and I put it all on low. It still causes my GPU to go over 90-95 degrees until I stop it from getting higher

Clean it, reapply thermal paste..
If that doesn't work, use MSI afterburner or something like that and undervolt/underclock your gpu to see if that keeps it cool enough.
And ofc make sure your case has proper airflow.

90-95 isn't a big deal anyways. My 6900 hotspot is 94 _always_ in this game.

Really depends on the GPU for some it is lol..
And he obviously having issues so :D

They throttle or die if too hot. around 90 is no biggie. Also no mention of which probe it is nor model.

Mine shut the PC off after reaching 120+ :-)

change your default settings on bios to normal lower all the voltages/watts perhaps?

Games can't overheat your device. Your device should be able to run at maximum load without overheating if it's properly cooled. Bad cooling is what overheats your device.

As others said temperature maybe isn't even high depending on your hardware. If it is remove dust, check airflow.

And the best way to have less a strain on your hardware is to simply Cap FPS below what you PC can do.

Hot spot temps and gpu temps are different tho.
My 3080 highest gpu temp is 76C but the gpu's hotspot has gotten as high as 97C.The hotspot temp can be anywhere on the gpu itself and a sensor is picking it up.

90C on the gpu sensor itself is crazy high since most gpus throttle at around 83C

Fix is clean and repaste.

I love these kinds of posts.

The game isnt magic. It cant make your video card use more than 100% of its utilization. If your card cant handle 100% utilization due to heat, then improve your cooling and clean your stuff. Your card is designed to handle 100% utilization. If youre overclocked then you did it wrong. If youre not then you need to organize and improve cooling.

90+ is a big deal depending on your cpu.

90+ with a 13th/14th gen Intel probably means over 1.4v to the vcore, or on default settings closer to 1.6. Thats RMA your chip in a few months levels. If its not overvolting then you simply have inadequate cooling. AMD is similar but not quite as hot as the current gen intels. You shouldnt let your CPUs sit over 90C for extended periods. It can handle the heat but current gens are power hungry and you can cause other long term issues due to the wattage and amp draw.

Stop telling people 90+ is "not a big deal". It is.

Jesus christ, people should just block straight up anyone that tells them this crap.

It IS a big deal if your hardware goes to skyrocket to 90+°.

And that is not normal at all. If the core is at 90+ then the vRams are even higher, near to the point of break.

My Sapphire Nitro 6800 XT SE never reach over 40°-45 under high stress.. and is not even liquid cooled...

If those are "noramlly" your temps, there are some serious issues with your cooling system. Get some measure before it is too late and it will break.

what gpu / cpu ? Try add more fans to ur case?
