  • I'm about to raise the dead post but - for real - i limit my fps to 120 and still the gpu is up at 76C using 100% and this is actually the hottest my gpu ever gets in my system, and its just the lobby - gtx 1660 - but then i drop into a game and the thing just uses 60% of my gpu and temps drop to the 50C range in gameplay - what in the duck is apex trying to do in the lobby? Cryptomine with our gpus? I don't see what more i can do to make it not do that >.> The reason i use the frame limiter is for consistent frametime not to drop the temps, but in apex without the limiter i hit 79c - with it on its down a few, but not much. Sick of tabbing out so my pc goes back to quiet mode >:C

  • Hi, what fixed this for me was this 2 launch options, -refresh 144 (refresh rate of your  monitor) and +fps_max 144 (refresh rate of your monitor)
