Re: GPU runs VERY VERY HOT

My other games runs fine. I already dusted my system and and the fan is running 80-100% and I already cleaned and put on new thermal paste on the video cards.

this game is ridiculous

  • Ya the game does use a ton of GPU. My GTX 680oc/oc windforce will run at 99% with 100% fan use at about 72c which is high. 

    I am really hoping that there is another patch soon that will optimize the engine better but it has been over a month since patch 2 so.....

    What settings are you using ingame?

    I'm using high, not the highest tho. the AA is off

    my specs:

    i7 4790K

    16GB DDR-3 2400 G.skill

    Radeon 7950 Crossfire

    samsung SSD

    Maximus VII hero mobo

    performance is not an issue, just the temp is lame. most of the other games i run only reach mid to high 70's, with an higher overclock

    This game I'm basically running on 5% overclocked speeds only.

    I have a gtx 660 windforce and it is also constantly at 99%.  My case keeps it pretty cool at about 65C but that is still hotter than any other game I play.

    Most games the gpu will get a break when you are in menus.  In Skyrim my gpu will downclock when in the menu keeping the overall temps low.  But in DA:I the gpu is constantly maxed which I think is causing a lot of player's gpus to overheat.

    I hope it is possible with this engine for it to stop rendering when in menus.  I spend a lot of time looking at gear or reading at the war table.  Those are perfect times to let my gpu cool a little.
