Is this ok? my laptop feel like hot plate. (180.3)

after patch, when i play. gpu pan run crazy. and really hot.
before patch, it was not like this.
i love improvement of fps. but little bit worry about burning.

is this ok?

Yes - Perfectly normal to see a laptop become hilariously hot when you try to play video games on it.

And I'm sure you're also noticing how the game becomes slower over time, because the Laptop's hardware (CPU and GPU in particular) are downclocking themselves (throttling down) to avoid getting that hot.

HekatonCheires, I'd recommend you get a cooling pad if you're concerned. I've used them in the past myself and they do provide some difference. It's still going to be hot but depending on the model you have it might make the heat coming up off the keyboard less. I play on a laptop myself currently and have been debating getting one again and this [www.amazon.com] is the one I'm considering.

They said the bug fix was getting rid of a 25% idle time on your GPU. Basically, only 75% were the GPU's actually doing something meaning now more computations are happening meaning more heat and your GPU get's no 'rest time' to cool off. Therefore, additional heat is an expected outcome.

That's like saying you're riding a bicycle down the road and for 1 second of every 4 you stop pedaling to coast. You won't tire out/start sweating as quickly, but you won't get there as fast either.

And also consider the following, or as previously mentioned get a cooling pad^

Laptops 101:
1. Always place laptop on hard, well ventilated surface
2. Do not put laptop on soft or insulating surfaces (carpet, blanket, etc)
3. Do not put laptop on your lap (will increase rate of overheating and could cause burns)

These will be exacerbated when trying to do a computationally intensive task. At minimum make sure you're abiding to those rules^ by using a textbook or tray. Also, as a general rule extra heat can cause premature component failure - one of the best ways to extend laptop life is to never put it on your lap, blanket, carpet (where I see everyone else's computers 99% of the time)

Yeah, Laptops 101 needs to be followed for sure. Great points Corpratespaz.

my titan rig is running hot aswell

Dont let your pc get to hot

My GTX 770 is running at around 75c since this recent patch, it was around 69/70c, a bit worrying considering other games I play run at around 55c. But I'm assuming it's because this game is quite GPU intensive and running it at max?

if it trouble the heat, its possible to open the chase to let the air flow more and heating can be released,
Even a fen from the outside wil do some.
Dont let the pc rig get to hot it will crash than.
but remember, dev is working on the preformens so just hold on...

Yeah correct, depending on make Id expect that sort of temperature. A good tool to test gfx card with is Furmark,its small, free and monitors temps as it stresses card to the max.

On many PC's this is actually counter-productive because the PC cases are designed to push a certain CFM through them, opening the case may disrupt the flow and then you're reliant on passive cooling. Know your case before you do this unless you're planning to open it and stick a house fan blowing into it.

Also, any gaming GPU should be able to handle high loads (and associated heat) for extended gameplay, it's what they're built for and why we fork out big money for them.

You need to make sure your CPU though doesn't overheat, as this is usually just a regular Intel chip with a big heatsink. If you don't have proper cooling in your case the extra heat put off by the GPU could overheat your CPU depending on your rig setup.

Now that they've figured out our cards were idling, this is now the max temp you should see. Any further optimization will just make the GPU calculations more resource efficient, allowing more fps to be processed. Total GPU usage shouldn't change again unless they introduce an 'fps cap' setting
