Loading screens killing my GPU

[Nacho Libre]

No matter the game I play I never see my GPU temp go higher than maybe 70c, except for this one. More specifically during loading screens where it spikes to 100c. That is also what makes no sense because when running around with explosions going off everywhere it still hovers around 70c. But that loading screen just about blows up my GPU.

I don't know what is causing it but has to be something in the optimization. Anyone else experience this?

100c that’s bad dude just cap your fps to monitor

I have done that, even capping it all the way down 60. Again, nothing in the actual game gives me issues, only loading screens. For instance, the moment a mission is over and your score shows on the screen my GPU freaks out. My fans all go full speed and the temp spikes. Once back on the ship it slowly cools back down.

100c? Holy shish man you gotta be careful, that's dangerous territory that can easily damage your card over time.
You could try capping your fps via nvidia control panel, that might help.

all these suggestions about capping your FPS are nonsense.

If its happening at the loadscreen and doesnt happen while actually playing....something is going on in your system.

It's not nonsense actually. Loading screens don't render a lot, so they ask for more FPS when uncapped. See Diablo 4 during the cutscenes when people didn't cap their frames and ran a lilith cutscene at 8k frames for 11 minutes, hey, their GPU got fried, =o. Same thing with new world waiting in queue, aka a loading screen, 4-8k FPS because nothing is on the screen. In hell divers, you render a pod and some sky with some background stuff, that's it, so it could easily jettison up the FPS, thus capping it is a good idea.

However, if you're spiking to 100c, it is likely because the game is infact loading and your PSU might be sending more voltage than intended? So you might have to look into that with MSI afterburner or something.

Your CPU should be rising in temperature during loading screens, not your GPU. You might need to replace the fans on your GPU, might of also gotten one of the rare cards where they forgot to add all the thermal pads, either that or something might have gone faulty on the PCB. A 4070TI should not be going anywhere near 100c.
Could also be faulty drivers, I've had that happen before, try deleting and reinstalling your Nvidia drivers, if that doesn't work try reinstalling BIOS, if it's been a while since you've updated bios that can cause issues..

Prove it. Too many liars have claimed such but did not actually do it properly via the graphic card's control panel.

Kinda sounds like the cut scenes, are actually putting the graphics card in low fan mode due to it being less graphically intense? Maybe put fans at a steady rate and try again?

I wouldn't recommend pinning your gpu fans to a high rpm but it would be worth making they're going to >95% when you're passing say 70c.

Which it's probably doing by default anyway. A custom fan curve (that kicks in hihgh rpm at lower temps) might help slow the temp rise and avoid your card hitting those 100s.

I use afterburner for my custom fan curve, easy to learn from YT if you don't know how.

The benchmarks show a real tame performance inside missions... but the Loading Screens are a Nightmare when it comes to Temps.

It would be nice if Arrowhead therefore at least let us skip the Mission Result Screen! Pretty Please!

(i can see the same effect as long as you wait inside the ship in the Ready Up Screen. Changing your Loadout there or doing nothing simply raises Temps extremely. Sometimes i can see such things in the Benchmarks, when i simply browse through my Weapons and Armor on the Zerstörer. So i think it happens as soon as a Menu Overlay appears! I dunno.)

I got also overheat issue (around 90°C) with no gameplay impact.

I try to reduce graphism but the temperature remain the same.

So far there is only one game where i have similar thing : "star citizen" but on this game the heat can be feel after 1-2 hours and it is around 70°C when on helldriver i can feel the heat really fast

Configuration :
AMD RYZEN 7 5800X
16 GO RAM DDR4
NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX 3070
Game installed on SSD.

I try the game on a lower configuration PC : no overheat but crash (ironically it happens on some "tips") ...

try FPS cap program like Riva Tuner, limit it to (lets say) 100 fps just to see will the problem go away.

You can also try capping FPS in Nvidia control panel but those tend to be inconsistent in where they work and where they do not.

copers in these replies really propose the most anti-consumer """SOLUTIONS""" instead of rightfully getting mad. due to how horrifically unoptimized the game is with its spaghetti code its pretty much malware. the only time my PC caught a BSOD in 5 years is running this trash. never playing it again.

The OP has temp issues stemming from lack of ventilation and low fan speeds. Common issue with Nvidia cards as they always have low level fan profiles that never work in intensive games. Your BSOD is irrelevant to the OP.

@OP - Create a manual fan profile and set the cooling to 85% or above and watch your temps plummet.
