Why does this game run my PC so hot?

[Captskuzz]

So I have a Ryzen 7, and a 3060, and I have to say this game absolutely COOKS my pc. The GPU hitting 80c seems a bit ridiculous for a ps3 MMO, right? My GPU fan kicks on and its kind of alarming considering modern AAA titles don't even stress my pc as much as this. I might just be out of touch but this seems a bit excessive, Especially considering the hardware should destroy this game easily.

This game doesn't support the ps3 since 2015.

Also I feel like this wholly dephends on like settings and environment and such, I can't say i ever compared temperature with other games but are you on a particularily high resolution? Is your FPS uncapped?

[MOSLEY]

If you're playing a game with frame rate uncapped then your hardware should be at 100% load. If that pushes your temperatures too high then that's a cooling issue.

I have a similar PC and both cpu and gpu runs at 40-45 celsius with fans barely spinning(1080p60)

By any chance are you using a blower type card? Also 80c is perfectly safe for nvidia gpus. They're designed to run at that temperature and throttle themselves if needed.

you either running the game with FPS uncapped or using a Reshade with some heavy effects on, or both

And in the worst case scenario your GPU dissipator is loose and not working as intended

clean dust out of GPU fan?

This is the likely answer... also the temp of the room you play in can also come into play...

[Generic-Raider]

Do you have a custom fan curve if not i highly recommend it my card rtx 2080 will def get about the same temp if i did not have custom curve most cards wont even go full fans until 70-80c if you leave it at stock

i runt he game at 1440p the game might not have shiny graphics but it is a mmo so allot of stuff -ppl on screen

[Havok]

Somethings wrong, running 144 at 1440p and never going above 45c. Cap FPS, clean pc, and potentially reseat the GPU/CPU with new thermal paste and check if your cooler is mounted properly

I have an outdate PC of a 1060 and my CPU isn't that great and never have an issue. If your playing on a laptop that may be the problem but a desktop shouldn't have that problem with a minimal requirement PC.

Check your dust intake on your desktop PC front grill and clear it completely with a wooden knife and a slight damp cloth to provide more air flow to your video card and cooler air coming out back.

Put the game on fullscreen and turn on FPS limiter to like 60, thats what worked for me. For some reason borderless window is janky as ♥♥♥♥ for some people. I did this and my GPU usage went from 99% down to 60%

[Neeok]

Oh and turn off fullscreen optimisation by going to task manager and right clicking the FFXIV executable, then go to properties>compatibility and the option should be down there somewhere. If it's already turned off just leave it like that

I do this with every game tbh. Are there any possible situations where I shouldn't?

lol no it isnt. you mixxing gpu and cpu up. nvidia gpus have their default thermal throttle between 83°C~86°C and often an absolute maximum of 88°C
for example; mine
https://gyazo.com/4366e51477c633ff3f273b2423c5bc97 (check yours on gpu-z)
if ya have a factory set in this range (which most nvidia cards have) is 80°C+ definitly not ok.

anyways, i advice OP to limit his/her frame rate, you dont really need more then 120frames for this game, more frames just kills the clothing physics of FF14. i mean you´ll notice it when you wear long hair or a coat or similiar long stuff. fps uncapped flips everything on you out when ya are in a storm or just the slightest wind breeze. so, cap your FPS except you love flipping cloth/ear/hair physics :o.
