GPU Temperature in TLD

[Renesco]

So before you tell me to fix my gpu, it doesn't overheat in anything else except maybe Crysis 2. I've a constant temperature monitor on my screen and it rarely goes over 72 degrees.

TLD will run it up to 85 to 89 degrees celsius, with vertical sync ON, with it off it shot up to over 92 and I had to quickly shut it off before my card melted. This is on medium texture settings too. Why does this game make my card run so hot? changing to DX9 does nothing either.

Hello Renesco, I believe this too, I keep getting crashes within the first 5 minutes. I ended up uninstalling after researching and trying all the recommendations, I still keep crashing. Hope they fix this. Good Luck.

Your GPU temp is high? odd, the game is CPU heavy so I would think the CPU would be the one getting the temp bump.

What's your CPU temp lookin like?
Have you cleaned your compute recently? A good cleaning with some compressed air to blow the dust out will help with temp control
All the fans running? Are they running optimally?
All Drivers up to date?

We are optimizing the game with every update so we hope to continually take the pressure off the hardware as much as possible, we don't wish to fry peoples systems.

I'm not sure what the CPU temperature is at since I don't monitor it, I've a massive heatsink on the CPU so I'm going to assume it's not getting overly hot.

I took off the fan assembly and cleaned out the heatsink of both the CPU and GPU in the last two months, both heat sinks are clear and free of dust, all 6 fans are running and are attached to a controller so the PC is a pretty good wind-tunnel.

I think my problem is the game isn't optimized for my old hardware, I've an old i3 550 that is obsolete at this stage, and my graphics card is a GTX 550ti which is probably considered obsolete too even though both are old workhorses that run everything else just fine.

Yea they are a bit dated, you may want to run on low settings for now, and hopefully with the next update things will run a bit smoother and cooler for you.

Well, I kinda went out and bought a r7950 yesterday with 3gigs of GDDR5 so my problems are over tbh

By the way, have you tried using MSI Afterburner? It'll allow you to monitor GPU temperature as you play the game, and you can make a custom fan-control profile to ramp up the GPU fan earlier

Yes I have, just built a computer a couple months ago with MSI hardware, afterburner is super handy.
