High GPU temp
Since the new update im getting a high GPU temperature now. I'm running on a mix of high/ultra with a stable frame rate but my GPU is at 80 degrees celsius, is this normal? RTX 3060ti btw. It's a pretty hot day today which could be affecting it. Should I turn the GPU fan speed up a bit?

Edit: it reached 90 and the fans automatically kicked in to cool it down.

Thats totally normal for a GPU under load. GPU are meant to run up to 95°c or higher and only start to clock down around 90°c.
76°c is completely normal and even low for a GPU under load.

having similar issues after 5 mins getting to hot

For me it blows more with this game than it does playing Horizon forbidden west in 4K with everything on max.
Understandable really 7D2D is built with a 200 year old engine isn't it?

If it's overheating it's YOUR problem, cap your fps if you are getting 100% gpu usage, GPU ideally SHOULD work on 100% past your frame rate limit.

I use MSI afterburner to cap my fps to 120 since in forest area my 4080 super can get up to 150-160 fps and be 100%, and even then it don't overheat.

If you GPU is overheating it's your problem.

Not all GPUs

Same. I just cap my FPS to keep temps reasonable. (55-75 degrees) It will start going over the 80 degree mark with fans running full, noisy speed if I don't.

Ogami he is right what he says about GPU temperatures
go online and do some research about GPU temperatures and benchmark

it is acually normal for a 4090 to draw around 450 to almost 500w(they are rated for 450w max powerdraw but can draw over that for split seconds, very powerhungry cards), depending on the load ofc. temps depend heavly on the model of the card/the cooler that it has and your case setup, but 76c is still within normal range. if it was really overheating you would notice major fps drops and/or even crashing, if you wana try to lower the temps i would suggest increasing your case fan speeds to give it more airflow, easy way to check if it has bad airflow is to just remove the sidepanel, if the temps go down = bad airflow. or you know, turn off RT ingame, that is a major gpu stresser

in this game i saw my GPU for the first time at 76°c and 450W, this was crazy and def. not normal...

This is ok and is no where near to "over heating" as you put it.

So A22/1.0 is maxing out graphics cards. While that's nothing to worry about in itself, it does make me curious.

Why is it maxing out graphics cards? What has changed so dramatically from A21 to A22/1.0? A21 and earlier were almost always CPU limited, mostly on the primary core.

Is it intentional or a bug? I think the graphics are fine, but they're not "maxing out a 4090" level unless the player is allowing it to run at a framerate beyond what any monitor can display.

absoultely not normal, please people, stop spreading misinformations...

like i said before, my GPU runs at 99% load in very damnding games at 71°c and max 400 watt consumption.. only in the new update i saw for the first time in any game for 2 years now that my gpu went up to 76°c and over 450W consumption, the card went crazy and the fans becamse so loud i never heard that before..

so there must be an issue since this game is absolutely NOT demanding in terms of graphics..

i can only recomment not to play the exp build if you experiance this issue, its NOT normal...

GPU is overheating with 1.0 build
yesterday i tried the new EXP build and i noticed that my GPU was absolutely overheating without any reason... i was only at 80 fps and somehow i got temperatures and power consumption i didnt see in any other game before... i have a highend GPU so it should not happen with this game since it looks not that demanding i guess...

does anybody else has this problem?

I love people like this not understanding anything, IT"S NOT THE GAMES FAULT. You can run Dead Space 3 with 900FPS and GPU will be on full load.

GPUs are made to work under heavy load, it's not the softwares fault they run if they even overheat.

Theoretically, 7d2d does NOT make use of the GPU enough to cause an extreme load on it--which would lead to high temps. 7d2d tends to use CPU more (or close to the same amount) than GPU. So, it shouldn't be driving temps too high.

I'm betting there is an issue with either;
The map generated--bad data values maybe causing a ton of load errors forcing re-loads.
Faulty data values in the System Registry due to improper steps for a clean install of the new game version--to include using the 'launcher--tools--clean (all options) data.'
Corrupted gpu driver--maybe due to a recent windows update as it's known to cause this sort of issue sometimes OR a faulty install of latest GPU driver.

An easy enough solution would be to start over with a 'clean' install of both the game and the gpu driver. For the game, you'd need to be sure and manually delete all 7d2d folders from the system AFTER uninstalling. Restart, load steam, install 7d2d. After install, open properties for 7d2d (Right click the game in steam library) be sure launch options are set to 'always ask' and in the '... files' tab, do the verify files. Then hit play and do the 'reset setting' followed up by running the launcher, switch to 'tools' tab, select 'clean data' and choose all options. This should clear the Windows Registry for all 7d2d entries so that they are correct with the new 1.0 version--or, whichever version you install last.

wrong, it does in a really empty/green biomes, for me, maybe because i got a beefy cpu.
