ASUS gaming laptop GPU up to 80~81C

[BigO,USgov=SexCriminalScapegoatr]

ASUS 505GM,
i5 8300H, GTX1060 6G, 8G RAM, windows 10, RAZOR gamebooster for max performance.

texture on high
other graphic setting on mostly med
no AA, no motion blur
1280 x 720 resolution
100% resolution scale

FPS is decent.
No noticeable hitches or input delay or anything similar.

But GPU temp checked on nvidia inspector goes up to 81C.

Is it safe for a laptop GPU to hit 80C constantly during the game?
Or better to wait for a patch to further optimize the game?

It's normal for laptops to get that high since they have inferior cooling compared to desktop PCs.

Why is your res so low, you can do 1080p/High Textures and mostly medium/high settings and still get 45-80fps on a laptop GTX 1060 (I lock it at 45fps personally as that's what I'm used to from the handheld games on N3DS). My temps only go up to 76c at the highest. Most laptops begin to throttle once you start going over 80c.

Core i7 8710H / 16GB DDR4 / 6GB Max Q GTX 1060 / Win 10 64-bit / Latest Drivers & Updates

Use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility to lower the voltage your cpu operates at. That will help a bit with heat, you can also repaste the internals with something better than the stock thermal pads. Just set the game to "High Priority" via Taskmanager. Razer GAME BOOSTER does jack and crap for actually boosting performance. That only works if you've got some crap ass i3 cpu paired with a bare minimum capable gpu for gaming.

With Assassin's creed odyssey at 1366 x 768 on mostly high to med graphic setting, GPU temp goes up to 75C ish max.

This still makes me worry about stability of GPU since most other games running at 720p only give me about 70~75C mostly.

I still think the game is not optimized enough considering the graphic fidelity the game provides isn't good enough to justify highest GPU temp of 81C.

Why are you playing at 720p? Are you actually playing with the laptop on your lap? It should not be getting that hot. At most, any well designed laptop with midrange hardware should be getting into the 70s, not the 80s. If your laptop is getting into the 80s something is wrong with your cooling or your setup.

The average operating temps for an i5 or i7 is between 50c and 65c, even in a laptop. At most they go up about another 10c during heavy loads or gaming if your air cooling is okay.

I prefer a rock solid FPS and want GPU, CPU temp to be low to guarantee stable performance.

Will look further into voltage adjustment though, thx

You can use nvidia control panel to lock your fps now. You won't get a stable 60fps at any resolution with a GTX 1060 as the game is extremely cpu bound and a laptop i5 won't cut it, even if it were paired with a GTX 1080 or better.

Still, think graphic quality of the game isn't good enough to justify high GPU temp the game is running at.

Just wanted to clarify CAPCOM didn't seem to do good enough job optimizing the game.

I don't think you understand how Monster Hunter World works.


A) The game loads all of the assets for an entire level at once so that you don't see any loading screens during gameplay.

B) The game has to keep track of every monster, every creature, their level of health, the gathering node points, how much you've gathered, when to respawn them, manage level of detail of objects, object culling, calculates collision detection and physics simulation, support gpu rendering, etc, etc.

C) It does all this tracking in real time which requires an immense amount of cpu cycles, hence why the requirements call for lesser cpus having higher clock speeds than more high end cpus.


Does the game have some optimization issues? Sure, I 100% agree. But not to the point that you suggest, especially considering that you can run the game at low or high settings with a GTX 1060 and get largely the same fps range with maybe being able to eek out a little more frames by toning down cpu related settings.


As someone who has gamed exclusively on laptops since 2012 you have to take a bunch of factors into account:

1) What is the ambient temperature of the room?

- High ambient temperatures will negatively impact your overall laptop temp.

2) What kind of hardware is your laptop packing?

- I know you posted it in the OP, but you should not be getting those temps with that level of hardware. I have an i7 running at 4.2GHz and GTX 1060 in my Dell Laptop and the total package temp doesn't exceed 75c while playing MHW at much higher settings that you're running it at.

3) Is the cooling system adequate based on the hardware embedded in the chassis?

- If the internal cooling system isn't adequate, you may need to reduce the ambient temperature and use a cooling pad.

4) Are you using an external cooling device suitable for the level of performance the hardware can provide?

- See above

5) What have you done to improve temperature without sacrificing performance? Repaste? Lower voltages? Adjust or disable turbo boost?

- Anyone who games regularly on a laptop should learn how to repaste their system and how to adjust voltages & clock speeds to get the most optimal performance out of their laptop while keeping temperatures within reasonable ranges.

6) Is your laptop positioned in such a way so that it can effectively dissipate heat?

- You should always elevate your laptop whenever you game on it

LOCK FPS TO 60 should help with temps.

This chart shows the temp differences based on different fan speed and voltage configurations with your particular laptop. The red bar showing 68c on the CPU portion of the chart is when the system is under volted a good bit (around -125) with the fan speed turned all the way up. Apparently that whole lineup of Asus "TUF" laptops have issues with heat and throttling due to inadequate cooling given the level of hardware. They're basically daily driver laptops meant to be dragged around everywhere and even used in outdoor environments. No wonder you're not getting the temp and performance you desire. Gaming is a secondary feature, not a primary feature.

Can I get the full address to the source website where it says the chart is about FX505GM?

LOCK FPS TO 60 should help with temps.

I locked the GPU at 58 FPS on nvidia inspector.

Laptops often shares a singular cooling unit between the CPU and GPU. Considering the high CPU usage of Iceborne, it's not surprising your GPU is running hotter than in other games.

[Rage]

my pc will reach upwards of 158 f in this game i just learned my graphics card requires a extra peice of equipment to let me manually cool my ♥♥♥♥ so its better now

[nvmvoidrays]

that sounds fine to me. my Acer Predator Helios 300 with an i7-7700HQ and a GTX 1060 6 GB gets similar temps @ 1080p/60fps on High. 80c is hot, but, it's not unreasonable for a laptop, as long as it doesn't get much hotter. if you wanna tank temps, you could try undervolting or buying an external cooler.
