High GPU Temp in JWE2

[BBking]

Hallo,

My system:
Intel i9 11900K 3.5ghz
32gb ram
Gigabyte Aorus RTX 3090 extreme

Problem:
I have bin very carefull on my graphics card after my first 1 died while playing new world. Ever since ive bin monotoring the GPU temp etc when i play games. Besides JWE2 i also play CoD and the newest battllefield and World of Warcraft. However JWE2 is the only game where my card reaches the temp of 70 degree celcius or higher even though some of the other games i play like battlefield should be more demanding than JWE2. Also i noticed that the moment the temp reaches this point the graphics beside being amazing has some weird side affects. its hard for me too explain and i dont really have a recording device to show you.

My question is:
is it normal for this game to run at these high temps when other games stay arround 60-65 degree?

Sincerly,

BBking.

I use Xbox series X so I wouldn’t really know about PC stuff but as a wild guess JWE2 probably shouldn’t be running at 70 degrees but is because of a bug? I guess…?

PS4 constantly overheating and turning off!! fine with other games just this woeful one...

I noticed this myself with my computer. This game does make it run really warm. It's enough to raise the room temperature up a few degrees.

Never thought anything of it though

I even replaced the thermal paste but to no avail...just keeps crashing and shutting down

It is kinda weird.. If it happened with more games, I'd look at your hardware. Dust collecting is known issue with overheating.
Maybe turn down the graphics to monitor the temps with those settings?

Is it something similar like these examples or a mix? Squiggly lines moving over your screen?
That would be a definately warning for serious (potentially damaging) heat issues.

I would be coatious with that one. Automatically turning off, is a big red flag - nice to read you replaced the thermal paste. That's a good start.
Don't think you have any dust issues, you'd seen that one. Can't advise you properly without knowing more but a cooling fan (usb) is an option as well.

The issues only occur with JWE2 and not with any other game! all other games are between 60-65 degrees and World of warcraft is even below 60 degrees.
the side effect is hard to explain. i get 100+ fps with no problem but while builing and moving objects like the paths or decorations and rotating the camara i get like a slowmotion effect like when you move 1 finger super fast but see multiple of 1 finger. the game runs fine other wise.

I just find it oddly weird that a game like JWE2 is so stressfull for the power of mine RTX3090 while games like Battlefield 2042 runs perfect in the low 60's temp wise.

I don't think it's your GPU. There's definitely something in JWE2 that is pushing hard on them unnecessarily. Admittedly, I'm no techie, so maybe it's normal? I feel like consoles shutting off (as mentioned earlier) is not supposed to happen.

Think Frontier should take a look at it.

I wouldn't consider WoW a benchmark for GPU performance.
Don't get me wrong, i think it's very strange/curious that a RTX3090 has heat issues with JWE2 and not with other games.
maybe battlefield 2042 has a better balance regarding CPU/GPU performance? Difficult to say how a game uses a GPU.

Weird thing to say when someone has a really good GPU but maybe lower the graphic settings, till updates/fixes provide a solution for you?? I don't see many people complaining about heat issues.
70 degrees or slightly higher shouldn't be an issue (i think anything below 80 degrees is still fine) but it's good to monitor the overall performance compared to other games.

Seeing as you already broke down 1 GPU (specs indicate a rather new PC/specs), i'd also look at other issues. What was the cause of your first GPU breaking down?

I experienced this 15-20 years ago, 1 game triggered a severe heat issue. Even newer games didn't create those issues. The broken GPU set off a chain reaction, which let to replacing multiple parts. The repair guy (luckily warranty) just replaced everything (motherboard/CPU/harddrive). My problem was the design flaw in the PC-case.
Wouldn't be surprised if the events that let to breaking down your previous GPU, actually had more impact on your other parts as well. And JWE2 is slightly more demanding and triggers that issue?

The console one is definately a serious one. Depending on how long you used that PS4 and how much you used it. The PS4 is from 2013, they don't have an infinite life-span. I know several people who use it for Netflix and use the USB cooler because they know they use it all the time.

Playing on a Laptop (always 70-95°C) I can say that 70°C is not enough to harm your hardware imidiatly (most PC CPU/GPU chips are specified for 100°C max.). I dont have JW2, but if you think this game is overheating your GPU, I would recomend to activate a frame limiter and monitor the temperature with it.
V-sync is also an option - as it doesnt make much sense running at higher fps then the monitor can handle. But if you have a high Hz Monitor- then the frame limiter is the way to go and reduce GPU usage - and reduce the heat.
A good test for GPU usage and temp would be a benchmark program like 3DMark or Unigine - they have stress test modes - these can show you how high temperatures go if your GPU is utilyzing 100% of its possibilities.
If any programm causes higher temperatures then these - it should alert you.

70 degrees Celsius is fine. It won't harm your PC or GPU. If it does there is something wrong with it and not just overheating. GPU's are made with high grade components that can handle high temperatures. Seeing 80-85 degrees wouldn't be a big deal most likely. I had an AMD R9 390 and they are known to run warm. In some games it could easily get to 80 degrees and it was fine. Those old R9 300 series cards run hot and get noisy. It's just how they are. It was a good card for it's time. It wouldn't hold up well today but I still have it and it's my backup GPU if my RTX 2070 Super ever fails. When I play RDR2 with the settings I use my GPU can get to about 72 degrees and I have no issues.

Some games will push your GPU harder than others. Some games it will run cool and quiet. If you are bothered by the temp that much or noise you could always limit your frame rate or something like that. Turn some settings down and so on. But 70 degrees isn't an issue.

By all rights, my graphics card should be working overtime with this game, but when I've monitored it, the temperature is between 61 and 67 degrees.

I have a GTX 1060 3 gb, and per task manager, the GPU runs at 10-15% use, memory is 75%, and CPU is 59% usage while in the game.

Granted, I'm using the Nvidia optimized graphic settings, and not pushing it like others, but I can hit the 60 fps range without seeing any major performance spikes or heat demands.

Gigabyte has been using thermal pads of questionable quality on the GDDR6X of their 3080/3090 series cards. You may want to take a look at GDDR6X junction temps.

70 or even 80C on the GPU itself is fine, though if you're stuck around 81-83C, that does indicate temperature throttling on most of these parts (something like GPU-Z or HWiNFO can read the default temp limits).

I have bin very carefull on my graphics card after my first 1 died while playing new world.

New World was unusually demanding, ran uncapped at enormous frame rates in menus, and pulled extreme transient current. That said, cards that died in New World were a defective minority of parts.

My question is:
is it normal for this game to run at these high temps when other games stay arround 60-65 degree?

It's not at all abnormal for one game/app to load a part more heavily than others, or for this to not be correlated with perceived graphics quality.

If you think JWE is demanding, try Path of Exile with global illumination enabled, for example.

the game was runing fine to they did the 1st patch (not the day one one after that) sence then my gpu fans are alway turning on hight randomly when playing

Hey BBking, you found any solution? I have a RTX 3090 too and when I played JWE2 it reached a temp that heated up my room and a little later crashed my whole system.
I am also play games like Warzone, BF 2042, New World.. but none of these games reach such a temp with full graphic details.
Help is very appreciated! Thanks in advance...

 

[ebbrell]

3090 is known to be a heat monster due to ram on both sides of the circuit board.
Its bound to get hot when working hard.

How good is your airflow in you pc case?
Maybe you have too many fans in case etc, or not enough

 

[Magenpie]

I'm experiencing exactly the same thing, and I get a huge temp hike, and the accompanying fan freak out. I only get it with JWE2.

Very weird.

This game is unplayable on the PS4!! Constantly crashing and shutting down never will I purchase a pre-order again an absolute waste of £60 Garbage

And this is a thread about high temperature of gpu in pc's so totally unrelated to your problem on a PS4.
I suggest you to do what Jens offered in post 18, contact support. Follow the link.
