AMD Overheating problem After Vulkan Patch

[Warsun]

This is still an issue after the patch.Vulkan included.When Vulkan was added this intent was probably to not force Nvidia Gameworks to give little options to not force workloads onto the processor.Allowing the GPU to handle the payload.

OK The processor is not heating up.But the graphics card still is.Even after leaving the game.The graphics remains hot.Restarting the computer may fix this.However this is still coming from the game.Not the PC.Please see to this issue.

interesting.

i also got higher temps recently with crimson 16.3 (with vulkan loader ticked). when i upgraded to 16.3.1, i installed without vulkan (because i wasn't really sure what this does anyway) and my gpu temp seems to be noticeably lower now.

Hmm...Ill check on this.Was that with Service pack 1.Was that with Windows 7 8 or 8.1 or 10?

Well that's a little worrying if true ( and I don't mean to imply disbelief :)).

My card is the hottest spot in my machine other than the mobo north bridge - msi gaming mobo's tend to run hot nb's. Water cooled cpu. Plenty of fans etc, but if my card spikes it could burn out....

Excuse me while I go have a look.......

Edit - also Warsun, did you happen to notice the temps in other games? I know FO4 has issues, but I wouldn't think this was a game issue. More likely a driver issue.

On no other games does the temperature get very high.Like for example.My temps in skyrim from my graphics card would be 54c.Turn it off.Restart the computer. Temps 35c.Now we run Fallout 4. Temps jump to 80c and hold them.As the room heats up temps climb more.Temps go to 88 90 Then i move around in the game an i get high lighting effects.Temps jump again.100c.I know it has to do with lighting.and Shadows

But it could very well be the game itself.Something is being dune to cause performance to drop but also cause temps to go up.An i want to make it clear.It has nothing to do with my machine of his.It`s the game.I did everything.No other games do this.Well that isnt true.Batman Arkham Knight also did this.

Just out of curiosity - are you using any ENB or HD texture mods?

Might explain the additional heat with the extra workload. It could still also just be FO4 optimisations - they certainly are poor for the AMD cards.

Nope.Completely formatted.Installed Steam.Any links to previous Scripts saved in older My games folder were not useable due to renaming the folder.This was a clean install.The loading screen slowed down to 20 then 12 then 3frames per second.No mods nothing.Then the game allowed me to get in.Made my character an tried to go out into the world.Temps did not have any affect then.When i finally got out side after the bombs.Performance was crap on the R9 390 Not 390X so lets be clear.Yes i could get 60 fps.but it often dropped to 45fps.

Now considering this was set to low.That should tell you.This game is broken.It`s not anyones PC from that perspective.Because this was before i installed the driver.After installing the driver performance increased.But the heat.I had that heat before the driver.An this was over a long time playing.Not just immediately.it took time.

Hi sorry to hijack for a moment, I've a buddy with a 750TI but a AMD FX 8350 who is also having what seems to be overheating issues with Fo4 suddenly.

Is your computer actually turning off due to the heat, and you mention a Vulkan loader? how is this disabled if it may help him?

[Warsun]

Well Maybe.I hope.But i had the heating issue before Vulkan.Vulkan helps with the performance by diverting the functions from Nvidia Gameworks to allow AMD systems to use AMD properties.Now this may still be a problem.Because recent changes of Patch 1.4 could have made the system not exactlly work off the same instruction sets.An the game is locked away from some other AMD settings that would benefit the PC an not cause a conflict.

Like I said.The game performs better.But heats up the GPU.So ill do that an get back to you guys later today.Or one of you can run this experiment an see.Right now i need to go back to bed.
