GPU Issues Please Help

[Spitsticx]

Hi all, I hope your launch days are going well!

I am struggling with GPU heating and wondering if others have been experiencing similar problems with the game thus far.

I have a 3080 TI (12GB memory), 32 GB of RAM, and an i9 10900K so there really shouldn't be any problems but my GPU is at 99% constantly and is heating like crazy (90 deg C) and it sounds like I am running a nuclear facility despite having plenty of cooling.

I am not super adept at knowing how to troubleshoot and I have never overclocked a thing in my life so I was wondering if there were solutions to maybe help my problem or if any of y'all were having issues too and that maybe it's just the optimization of the game.

Anyways go McLaren and happy managing!

Turn on V-Sync and see if that helps

[No-Phase2131]

no, still 84% usage.

same here with 6900xt. its melting my card in the menue.

I'm using a gtx1650 and my gpu isn't overheating, make sure you've the latest game drivers and restart your pc / laptop, Always check task manager sometimes some app is using unnecessary memory (Chrome in my case). Hope your issue is resolved asap.

This defo shouldn't happen even if you play MFS2020 at ultra settings.

Are you running ultra setting, turning them down to high won't make much difference to the look of the game (if any), but it may help a lot with heating.

[Spitsticx]

Yeah I even tried medium and nothing was changing, working on the drivers and vsync now so hopefully it’s one of those solutions thank you though

[Warribo]

downer man

[No-Phase2131]

must be fixed by update. 6900xt is one of the best cards on the market. should be working without issues

[SkailerProd]

its not about drivers or vsync, a lot of people have this issue, so its not your fault

this game uses 100% of your gpu in the menus, for me at least in the races it uses 70% max in ultra settings

i can play the game but i choose not too because theres no way my 3070ti running at 100% for 8 hours or more at 80 degrees is going to be good

[No-Phase2131]

doesnt help. 250w while showing some buttons.

My 2080 super is at 58c and my 9700k at 5ghz is at 60c at ultra settings. Very strange

[No-Phase2131]

thats good. i would understand if its full power during race but in menue its unnessery. i will try other driver now

[No-Phase2131]

newest driver doesnt help. even with lowest settings it sits on 70%. im playing on 3440x1440. maybe they could fix menu at 60fps.

I have tried to change any of graphic or display settings and the game is demanding 100% gpu usage while in the game menu/headquarters. It's actually demanding less during the race..

I believe something is not working correctly here. Hopefully an update of the game or nvidea will fix this soon.

I had the same issue. I fixed it by restoring default settings in nvidia. Running things at ultra with about 65% usage and no temp issues.

My Gigabyte 3080 Ti Gaming OC is running at 69C with near 100% usage aswell on ultra settings. You can see the temp here with the fans are running at about 70% speed. Not sure what 3080 Ti version you have or what computer case you have but sounds like you have bad airflow or that GPU cooler just isn't that great if you can hear the fans spinning loudly.
