RTX 3070 rises temperature up to 70+ C

[Cazus]

idk whats happening. Every other game runs just fine but state of decay 2 just roasts my gpu. My previous PC with a 1050ti ran the game just fine.

[♋ßLUE۫۰۪♋]

its still far from 83c it's still in good range but if it reaches 85 to 90c then there's a problem on the card. but don't think about too much it will make you crazy like me. my 1080ti founders edition always reaches 80c when gaming for like 5 to 6 years and still alive and my current gpu which is 3070 reaching 77c on everspace 2 and it's still okay.

[Cazus]

it's just strange tho cos this is not a game with abolute astounding graphics or anything. Like for example I play COD MW2 max graphics and it reaches 50 C so its completely fine

i limit my fps to 60 in most games, i play at 1440p and temps are never an issue.

My brother in christ, 70c i completely normal and nothing to worry about. You should only really worry when you start hitting around 85-90c

You guys don't understand, yeah the card won't break but it's not normal for this card to experience that kind of load temperature while playing this game.

I too have same gen card and if it goes up over 55c I know there's a problem somewhere. Because it shouldn't run that hot. Ever.

It's a poorly optimized Xbox plug.

It was made as a single-player single-release game by a small independent studio. Then in the same year as it was released (2018), Microsoft decided to buy it rather than just have them as a side chick. They wanted it to remain permanently on GamePass, so therefore the whole build is like a mystery castle with constant updates, new cosmetics, new maps and so on.

In 2020 it was released on Steam.

I like to joke about them changing a couple of pixels in the locker UI results in that cars launching into orbit. It's not that much of a joke, though.

Presumably, SoD3 will be made to be a GamePass permanent feature from bottom up.

Unless your card is water cooled you shouldn't be shocked to see a 250W card reach 70c on air. Gamers nexus reported 70c on their RTX 3070 https://youtu.be/NbZDERlshbQ and Hardware Unboxed also saw 70C+

As for OP, if you don't have an FPS limit it wont matter how the graphics look if your GPU is still rendering as many frames as it can. The temps can vary a bit depending on the load since there are many components in a GPU and on the card that produce heat.

i guess in conclusion i cant play it anymore. just dont wanna risk it

On this game. If you get 70+ on this game, that is flatout not supposed to happen if you run other modern games where the gpu goes full load and stays at 50 max without vsync or frame limiting.

I'm shocked about gamers today, if you're new to pc gaming i undersand you are amazed about those temps, if you want to game in PC you need to understand a few things, not all games behave the same, this is kindergarden i know but its life changer, so if this game is making your GPU to run hotter, make an fps cap your gpu/cpu can maintain 99% of the time, and you'll be fine, in fact unless you're benchmarking it has no reason to game with fps uncapped you're just wasting so much wattage and cpu resourcer to play a singleplayer game??, i always cap when any game behaves strange, when games have good optimization you just put vsync and have fun.

limit your FPS to 60, don't need to be running at 120fps+... also what case? what fans? aircooled or water cooler CPU? radiator placement? is it Reference design or 3rd party? is the weather getting warmer where you are, is it above or below your desk etc etc... all these variables add up... ironically it's getting warmer here so my GPU is warmer too

[Gustuv Wynd]

There are a lot of games that will have some higher GPU activity and make the GPU use a bit more power than other games. Often is related to how cut and paste the PC build is from the console builds.

Though 70° is fine for that GPU. As in 24/7 365 days a year fine. This will not be the only game to run it that hot that you will find.

Oh no...that is not true. There are a lot of reasons why one game cane run a GPU warmer than others. Even if both are saying 99% utilization. Probably the most common is that some games will be bottlenecked on the shaders and other games won't be scheduling things on the shaders as much. The shaders being maxed out more will end up with more power used and higher temps.

Did OP decide to take the advice and cap FPS or did they just chicken out lol

[WarBucks]

The game running fine with a 1050ti must have totally different settigs than are run now. Both in game, driver, fps, vsync, resolution. All of which will dramatically increase the load of any game.

Was the 3070 a direct replacment for the 1050 even? Now you have a PSU that is working more than twice as hard. and is thos the same case?

Honestly OP theres no relevqnt information
