XibaRootS 40 Posted June 16, 2016 hey everyone, its been a while since i posted anything. Now that 0.60 is out, i gotta say... performance is better. BUT, i've noticed that my gpu is getting to 85°C now and the fans are going craaazy with this temperature, anyone has any intel about this to share? Thanks in advance members of the forum and devs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Etherious 907 Posted June 16, 2016 Well, I mean with the new renderer, DayZ consumes quite a bit more GPU resources. Anyhoot, we can't quite help you if you don't share your PC details. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
St. Jimmy 1631 Posted June 16, 2016 Get better cooling in your case and clean things up. How much is your fps usually? You could run vsync or something so your fps is limited and GPU isn't stressed as much. Or you could underclock and lower the voltages of your GPU. Those two options requires you to sacrifice some fps. If you can't do it or cleaning doesn't help then too bad for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XibaRootS 40 Posted June 16, 2016 Now im getting 90-120 frames on the coast. PC SPECS: • CPU adm fx8350 • GPU r9 270x 2gb • 8gb ram I mean, i play gta V on high settings and get lower temperatures, same for the new doom, alien and a bunch of other games. There's another game that does this asweel and it is Untunerd, wich has the poor graphics ever but it does take my gpu to 90°C or above. So i have to believe that this is happening due to something else within the new renderer. I will try to activate Vsync as you suggested and see how it goes. Thanks guys, and if anyone else has any more intel or suggestions i really aprecciate it 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
odin_lowe 3686 Posted June 16, 2016 (edited) Does this happens with other games you play too? Are there other games you have that are DX11 and uses lots of resources you could compare, like GTA5, the new DOOM, or Witcher 3? If you play other games maxed out, or with high settings, and it doesn't get that hot, then there's something wrong with the recent 0.60 patch. I've tested 0.60 on experimental quite a bit, and didn't notice any issue with overheating, although the most recent patch took the last bit of life left in my GTX670. The card blew up, so now I'm waiting for a replacement. Looking forward to do some more testing to see if it's really something wrong with the code. The hottest it ever gets for my system is with GTA5, but I'm forcing some graphics settings. It's a steady 60 FPS+, but heat rises up very fast, so I'm using between 8 and 10 fans. Liquid cooling could be better, but it's not really an option with the case I have, and the prices for it here. Installing it yourself is a huge risk too, and that's coming from a guy who builds his own system for the past 15 years. Anyway, let us know more details, and we can pinpoint the problem more accurately, if possible. Edit: Haha! Thanks for answering the questions I had before my post!! Well, now that you mention it, it does seem like a problem as it shouldn't take more resources than GTA5, and shouldn't get that hot. The fact that it also happens in Unturned might indicate a problem with the GPU bios, as it makes no sense that your card would get hot playing Unturned...

XibaRootS 40 Posted June 16, 2016 Thanks for the intel survivor. When i tried out unturned and saw that problem, i asked one friend of mine to do the same test and he told me that his gpu was getting 92°C aswell, and he has a gtx 760, mine is a r9 207x. We were having the same problem with different cards. So problem in the GPU BIOS is out of the table. I just tried to activate Vsync as the other survivor suggested and scrificed around 40 frames, now i am getting steady 60 fps on open areas and 35-45 on cities like berezino with a max temperature of 70°C wich is very acceptable. So I think is something to do with the new patch stressing the cards. I highly recommend to everyone out there to pay attention to your temperatures whilst playing now, since this can take away life durabillity of your gpu's. That is of course if you don't have a high tech cooling, wich i don't =). And on another note, i really hope they (developers) look into this problem and fix it asap. Thanks everyone for the answers, Roots. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Atom Quark 437 Posted June 16, 2016 I got up to 78c just running around the forest, without v-ync. Going to see what it is when I get into a big city. I have a 760. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
XibaRootS 40 Posted June 16, 2016 it seems that the temperature goes up along with the frames, if you're in a city with say 40 frames, temperature goes down. The same works for when you are inside a house. BUT, if you go outside the temperature goes up along with the frames. In other words: more frames = more temperature Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
