Overheating GPU (workarounds, patches, fixes ?)
|
Just as a side-note... rendering faster than your refresh rate on the monitor rarely does any good. It doesn't help your in-game experience to render 3 frames for each 1 frame drawn to the screen. It just taxes your GPU for no real reason.
People are always super happy to get 400 FPS on something.. but the fact of the matter is, they're only seeing 60, 75, or however many frames of that 400 due to the screen refresh rate. It's slightly different if you have a 120Hz refresh rate where your theoretical "max" would be 120FPS to get a nice clean video image. So check your monitor settings. If you can keep the FPS to around the levels of your refresh rate, then that is all you need. Rendering more than that is pretty useless and shouldn't really even be considered for measurement. It can also cause serious GPU overheating and other issues needlessly. |

" This game fried my video card. Your excuses are stupid. Grats. This dev team are hacks. Last edited by wideblacksky#6399 on Jun 9, 2013, 7:43:58 PM

Wow. Sad people cannot comprehend it's NOT the game, messing up hardware. it's your crappy hardware. Stop trying to blame sub-par coolers on your card with a game.
I was smart enough to get a video card with TWO fans, no matter how hard i push it, including this game, it doesn't go over 65c. My case pushes air though as well. No sub-par cooling system. btw, there is the nvidia utility program that can limit framerates on games. ATI, however, doesn't have one. |

This is the game issue, i play on my laptop in games like Bioshock Infinite or Far Cry 3 for hours and nothing happens, but when i turon PoE on the time the menu pops up and it loads me in to the game the fans starting to act like a jet engine, so don't give advices like "dust or other shit on yout cooling system ,remove it ". If that ware dust or something i would have overheating GPU on everything but i have only on PoE, the thuth is the PoE engine is fucked up.

Like the rest of people said, the PC is probably overheating because of the too high fps. If you have nvidia card the best solution is to limit the frame rate by using nvidia inspector and changing Frame Rate Limiter option in Common section. This method is even better then vsync because you avoid occasionally screen tearing.

Still no solution to this??
My GPU is running PoE at 85C and I can't risk sustained temperature this high... My FPS is pretty good, on very high settings it's 35 which is perfect for me, but wtf this temperature. I must get this temperature below 70C or I am going to just uninstall. Diablo3 is runnning very well, but that game is so fucking shitty, and PoE so fucking awesome that I'd much rather find a solution here... I tried underclocking my GPU from 672/900 to 600/830 and it didn't help. I also have the latest drivers, etc. Tried everything. I need some smart reliable solution pls ;] anyone can help with this? |

Well, I just noticed that I have the same problem. Didn't notice before because my headphones doesn't let me hear the fans of the computer so I don't really know since when is this happening. My gtx 560 gets from 70 to 90 degrees while playing and the fan speed and noise too. I tried VSync but it just worked for about 10 - 15 mins, after that, when there are arround 20 enemys in my screen the fan starts going crazy and the temp raises a lot. I used Bandicam aswell capped to 45 fps but it was pretty much the same. The thing is, like everybody else posting here that I love the game and I would like to play even more, but I won't risk my GPU. Hoping for a solution and a statement from GGG, I know they are busy with all this patches that they are releasing but this can't be ignored forever.

" im using geforce GTX260 its a bit older but still a solid card if i wanted to buy better one i would have to pay some 200 €, runs fine with all newest games sadly they will never fix this...im sorry, same problems are with skyrim, people reported graphic cards crashing since day one and its TWO YEARS now and bethesda simply ignored this. Most people aggree the game is badly made...except bethesda who is silent. Graphic card crashes my PC, but thats the safety measure so there is little to worry about also i have problem with crashing nvidia driver, started to happen some year and half ago with world of tanks, hasnt been fixed since (people usually go back to older driver versions) and it happens here too, good news is that game does not freeze like world of tanks so i can keep playing |

Well my GTX 580 just died. I know this is an old thread but I never had issues until the past day or so. My PC is currently at the workshop and I think it's due to this game.

Thank you!!!!!!
I recently bought a MSI Geforce 750 gtx as an upgrade from my old Geforce 9500. On my old card the graphics were not so great, but I could play. With the new card, my pc would freeze with white/black/blue screens, making horrible noices mostly after shortly playing the game. I am a computer programmer and will save you from everything I've tried, but I got stuck at a point where I could finally run in fullscreen (not windowed :(( ) and a lower resolution. The fix was indeed: set max fps to 60 in MSI afterburner. It runs now smooth fullscreen windowed max resolution, no problems whatsoever. Thanks, thanks, thanks!! |
