How To Reduce GPU Temps On Campaign Map?

[PressX]

Whenever Im in the campaign map my RTX 2070 shoots up to 100% usage and the fans crank hard, but Ive played more demanding games and none of them have got my temps up quite like the Warhammer 2 campaign map. (please no "clean your pc" stuff I literally just changed my gpu and the old one did the same")

[Enemyz]

mine does it too man. Its just the game. Maybe need another case fan to improve airflow?

Warhammer 2's Campaign map is the new Crysis Benchmark. :P

I have a 2080 and it only really starts to go off in large battles, you could try to turn on Vsync if you didnt already.

I have the same card and have the same issue. My PC even overheated and shut down the other day. It's a shame i wanna play the game but am worried about melting something.

Try adjusting your Fan's temperature curve, when it starts to get hot you'll want it to go to 100%, but even still your PC shouldn't get hot to the point it shuts down. Maybe your case doesn't have good airflow or something or one of the fans is broken or not facing the right direction.

What kind of settings are you using? I have a GTX 2080ti and Ryzen 3950x and even that can run everything on default ultra

I suppose you meant "can't"?

I have a AMD RX580 (Nitro+) and same issue, as soon as I'm on the campaign map, GPU fans take off like it's the end times.

This must be an issue with the game because the card isn't even hot. It sits on 65C while it has a target temperature of 75C but still puts fans on 2K+ RPM. Didn't experience this in any other game.

It should only blow that fast if it's under very heavy load and is already at the target temperature, which is 75C for my card.

You can't really, the campaign map in warhammer 2 will almost always stress your GPU to a pretty much constant 100% usage, no matter what. (Check it yourself with programs like msi afterburner, hwmonitor or something equal)

It won't help if you cap your FPS either. I've tried it.
80 FPS down to 66 down to 60, the GPU is always stuck on 100% utilisation. On 45FPS and below I’ve seen the usage drop though, but who wants to play like that. I had that "issue” with my 970 and now with my 1660 ti too, different drivers, over years, over fresh OS installs, always the same story.

Drastically lowering your graphic settings might “help” but then again that's not really a fix.


CA + game performance / optimisation just does not go together. They make good games but the performance department is literally just a single monkey hitting random keys.

Your PC is not working correctly, if all hardware is working correctly and software is up to date then fans would speed up and chips would slow down to stop the system from overheating and shutting down. Make sure all the fans including graphics cards fans are all clean and dust free. If you have anything overcocked then put it back to what it was before overclocking it. Make sure fans are responding to temp increases.
If you still have issues after that then try and work out which part of the PC is overheating to the point of system shut down and then join a hardware forum to get help and support.

I use that mod to get rid of some of the fog and cloud effects. Not sure if that's your problem.

All those cloud effects have physics effects on them to help them determine how light and shadow and other visual effects react with them, and it can really eat up resources.

I've had three different set ups now and have always had issues with this game, it's the game and unless they do some major overall of whatever is causing it then it'll always be an issue.

EDIT: I will say though after this last DLC released it really feels like it's heating up faster though, no idea why though.

I have a Radeon 5700XT and had the same issue with 100% GPU usage all the time in the campaign map ...

I've found a fix with radeon software settings :) but hopefully this will be fixed some day by CA

YOU MUST enable the radeon chill game mode in Radeon software and set min fps at 30 and max between 40 and 60 fps.

This way when you are idle on campaign map your GPU usage isn't pushed at 100% permanently... and it can give you more fps when needed

In my case with ultra settings when idle its between 10 and 70% GPU usage(30FPS) when moving it's ok too but a little more GPU usage because of FPS getting to 40-45

Don't know if there is similar setting on nvidia side but it's help me a lot and it's better than just limit your FPS to 30

EDIT: put the anti-aliasing in FXAA mode can help you cause it seem to be THE very demanding setting on your GPU...
if I put it to 8x, GPU usage is between 50 and 98%...

[Falaris]

Turn off depth of field and make sure vsync is on, that's the two 'traps' of graphic settings that I know of here. (I generally prefer graphics without depth of field effects anyway, and it really eats resources, too.). Make sure it's not running some resolution scale shenanigans. (100%).

Thanks,now my problem in Campaign mode is resolved( I've RX5700XT too),but now the problem is in the battle mode,in fact in the battle,normally I haven't gpu high temp problem,then I would make battle without Radeon Chill,but only for Campaign mode!

Game uses 99% of my GPU (RTX2060S) always (except when loading..). Don't see any means to reduce that, however my card don't go hotter than 70C and I use a fan controller software (FanControl) to cap fan speed at 70%.
If yours get too hot reduce its clock speed (you'll lose some fps but WH2 ain't a FPS).
