If the DEVs need ANY kind of report or information i can provide, i will be happy to do it.The latest expansion to the free-to-play Action RPG Path of Exile: Ultimatum is now available on PC. Since i invested some money in the game, i feel like i bought it and cant play it, so im kinda frustrated, i hope the DEVs can address this issue. I always play PoE with vsync on, so my framerate was always fixed at 60, so i decided to play with vsync off, shadows off, less AA, medium textures to test what was the problem, and it seems i got a bit less crashes for every lower settings i use.

I played the closed beta for a while, and i played a lot when it went open beta with no problems ever, but AFTER PATCH 0.10.1 my GPU started to overheat in seconds from 45º to 89º(the higher it went) in 2 or 3 minutes.Įvery 15-20 minutes of gaming session i get a BSOD, related to the overheating i imagine. I play battlefield 3, Diablo 3, Skyrim some other games in max setting, skyrim in particular i have 15GB worth of texture and improvement mods, and i run all games maxed out between 60-80 FPS, i have 1200 hours played in diablo 3, i had some 15 hour session playing it, and those games never got my GPU past 70º(in the hottest of the days), since i use water-cooling. I also have a gaming rig which is overheating while i play Path of exile.

You can allso use a software to manually controll the fanspeed of your card.Īnd to push the fanspeed manually up to get lower temperatures results in higher noise of the fans. If the card feels that this temp is there, it pushes the fan-speed to compensate to amout of heat. Most nVidia-Cards are designed to stay 15☌ under the max-chip temperature. If it doesn't, the graficcard-design is crap, or you need more fans to blow the heat air out of the case. So, i think the heat is because of some skills.īUT: NO Software is able to "overheat" a graficcard! The design of the card is so, that it must endure a long time of 100%& useage. I tried to get it cooler (not because of the 76°, more because of the loud Fans), but limit to 30 FPS (with nVidia-Inspector) isn't a good idear, because the screen starts to stutter while runing. The GPU-Useage goes to 100% and stays there.Īfter all "poison" is gone, the GPU goes back down to 65☌ and GPU-Useage goes down to 60%.

Its a GTX680 and here is 76☌ okay (Furmark brings it to 83☌ without crahes, and nVidia give a max-Temp of 98☌). Shooting with that skill the hole Screen (2560x1440) and the GPU-Fan goes up and Temp goes up to 76☌.

I find out, that "Poison Arrow" heat up my GPU most. Unless you overclock or have a card that is overclocked by default, extreme heat shouldn't damage it before the safety mechanisms kick in. The high temperatures weren't causing any problems at all, only the safety mechanism was killing my joy :/Īlso the fact that the safety threshold was set at 105 degrees celsius is a good indicator of the kind of treatment video cards can withstand :) However I will say that the default fans video cards come equipped with, can't cool video cards at those temperatures sufficiently enough to keep them from exceeding the event horizon (Threshold where the fan becomes incapable of cooling and instead acts as a slowing agent, slowing down the rate the card increases in heat but not being able to stop it from increasing in heat) I had a Geforce 8800GT that only ever caused a game to crash, when the 105 degree safety threshold was reached (The threshold which triggers a severe underclock in the video card). Nope, the metal components can withstand up to over 100 degrees in various cases.
