NMS Graphic settings for hot GTX 3080

[rovaira2]

What are a few options to reduce a hot GTX 3080 and computer? Mine seems to get pretty hot with the latest update. I have an I9 10900 KF @3.7 GHZ as well with 32 gigs ram. It has liquid cooling as well, but seems to get pretty warm. I don't overclock.

Lol If you GTX 3080 is overheating with NMS maybe it is a faulty unit or could be a design flaw from the card.. But then again these cards do get rediculously hot.. No telling how long they will last as several reviews have shown that some of the high end cards are borderline hitting their max temps

Stop complaining, at least you managed to find one in stock xD

The GPU reader program I have that measures temps, but it was pretty warm last time. I just booted the game up and so far I'm up to 93C for the memory temp and 76C for the GPU temp (88 for the hot spot), but I think it approached 90C-95C last time.

Is there a setting to turn down but also keeps good graphics? It gets pretty hot in the room. The fan speed is only around 50% so far. I'm thinking maybe in BIOS I can up it somehow. I turned down the FPS to 50 just to see and that is what I get now.

I have heat problems too but on my cpu. My gpu is almost idle. i9 10850k & rtx3070.
I am running 3440x1440 everything on ultra FXAA vsync on fps limit 100.

Apparently I didn't have DLSS on, so I'm playing around with that now.

I'm at 90C on memory temp and around 81C GPU for the hot spot now with a 50 FPS cap. I'll have to play around with it later, taking the daughter to our first movie since COVID. :)

You might want to take the side panel off your case, turn the computer on and check all your system fans. Sounds like the GPU itself has a dead fan.

Do you have a good cooler? Is it hot in your room?
I'd decrease the power going to your card until you can find the issue

maybe, just maybe sometimes hardware runs at it´s limits
this may be the result of decisions of the manufacturer
this may be the result of hardware getting overclocked,....

just because hardware runs stable with certain parameters (factory setting or overclocked,...) in lab, that does not mean it will do that in worst case szenarios (see "avx")

some hardware even runs at it´s "puking limit"/kotzgrenze by default (factoring in "auto optimizations" here)

I have a 3080 with a I7-10700kf, 32 GB ram, no overheating issues at all, doesn't come close to pushing things.

You might want to stress test you card and check all your fans. My system is Alienware (sod off with all the BuIlD yOuR oWn comments, disabled with nerve damage, not an option), and my first 3080 card was detective and after a week couldn't run any modern games without crashing the entire system. Started with Death Stranding then ended up dying on pretty much any game.
After they replaced the card its been smooth sailing, zero issues for 4+ months now.

What's your res at? What is you have the two scaling settings at (HUD and the other)?
I have my res at 25something, the one just before you hit 3k settings. My native res is 4k. I then have all but one graphics setting on high... Base Complexity is set on Enhanced I think.

My card is an AMD RX560, 16gigs of ram and a Ryzen 5 3600, game runs well with no heat issues and no liquid cooler. I do want to get one, but going to the city 30 miles away is a pain.

You saying your specs is usless unless we know what resolution and grafics settings. it's like saying "My car is a ferrari, it runs well on the highway".

First off any properly cooled system shouldn't overheat regardless, it's performance should just go down with higher settings. Second, considering his specs he mentioned, he should easily be able to max everything out on 4k with zero performance or heat issues, so that information isn't essential at all.

Well it's kinda strange that I have the exact oposite problem, my gpu never goes above 65C with 98% core usage, but my cpu ends up in the early 80's C. I mean why does the game even use this much cpu? like 65-98% usage on 10 cores for only 2k resolution?

Also my gpu and cpu are in the same box.
