Why is it that people are able to run maxed out CyberPunk but their card melts down with D4?
Why is this happening to SO MANY 3080tis?
Ive got a 3080ti (Nvidia geforce rtx) as well, 12g GDDR6. 2 month old PC. I9 24 core 5.3hz CPUs. 1000w psu. Liquid cooling. I can run 2077 on max and not drop below 120 fps when im TRYING to. For gods sake i can run 7D2D on max and feel nothing and that game is so horribly optimized its laughable.
When i noticed the gpu start chugging during the opening sequence of the prologue i knew something was up. My fans went full hyperdrive during the chapel scene as well and a couple other spots. And that was with the graphics on MEDIUM. The game absolutely DEVOURS cpu/gpu resources at certain points.
This is an issue that HAS to be fixed before launch or its going to kill hundreds if not thousands of rigs. Or more. Burying your head in the sand isnt going to make it go away.
I LIKE the game. I just dont want my rig to go into meltdown playing it.
They cant fix wrong user behaviour on their end. DiabloII resurrected is running exactly the way diablo iv does since 2021 without any attempt of changes to this.
I had the same crashes and PC rebooting with a 3090 ti ekwb founders edition. No bricking or anything alike though. After a while it got annoying, so I switch to another game, where the same issue happend after a while. Turned out it wasn’t D4 in that case at all, but a driver update happening close to the beta relase. Switching to the previous version solved the issue, aswell as huge fps jumps in D4.
Just posting this for reference and maybe a possible solution for some.
Those Seasonic PSUs are actually prone to cause such issues with 30series GPUs. You may google it. (there is an issue with the 12v sense wire poeple modding there cables to get rid of the issue).
buddy, i have ATX 1000W Corsair HX1000 (135mm, Platinum) and it still freezes/crashes the system with same symptoms like everyone - fans go all max and screen goes black
To those in this thread claiming that D4 cannot brick GPUs, thats false.
“New World” caused many to have bricked GPUs as well.
It IS the game that causes this. I have had my newly built alienware 3080 GPU since 2020. Ive played hundreds of hours at top settings for games and i refuse to allow D4 to destroy my GPU.
Many here that had this issue are gamers and to say that its the GPUs fault and not the game is, well, you just talking out a hole you shouldnt be.
Blizz needs to fix the issue, and NOW. If they allow this problem to go into open beta… shame on them and shame on those trying to downplay this problem.
Also, REDDIT is full of clowns. Stay far away from there. You are dealing with people who are the worst part of society.
as long as you cap your FPS in your driver nothing can happen to your hardware.
Even in New World nothing could happen to your hardware if you capped your FPS for that game. It was the loading screens reaching 6000+ FPS causing issues.
if they dont change settings, nothing will happen either, Vsync is enabled by default.
Its just the smart asses fiddling with ingame settings that have problems.
i agree that the situation sucks. i agree that wrong settings shouldnt brick my hardware.
The thing is just we know of this problem for years ever since d2 beta.
And you have been living under a rock to not notice it.
Blizzard wont change anything, they made that already clear with D2R.
Only thing they gonna do is a “bluepost” with what to do for troubleshooting, which will say “cap your fps” or “use gsync/vsync” (which is btw stock settings in windows aswell, using variable refreshrate) and thats it. And im not a fan of this either, but this is what will happen.
No, it’s not. My GPU wasn’t bricked. But, it shared the same symptom that other folks reported. Yes, perhaps the ones with bad components died, who knows? The majority of the cases appear to be RTX 3080Ti, but I’ve seem people with 3090, 4080 and even one person with an AMD card with the same issue. In my case, all my PC was assembled with brand new parts, a little less than 2 years ago. I have a Lian Li O11 Dynamic case, with 6 140mm fans + 360mm WC. My PSU is a Corsair HX1000. I’m not denying that it could be hardware (I engaged Gigabyte Support just in case - my GPU is still working fine), but the problem is having a game which triggered it. Perhaps D4 is causing, due to a paramenter, a jump of voltage which those GPUs can’t handle. So, yes, it’s playing a part in the whole equation. The only game I can record which caused this was New World, but it was due to an excess of frames in the main menu - my GPU is locked to 166 frames using NVCP and still it crashed twice. Perhaps it’s something else.
Please, stop this dismissive atittude. “It’s not the game”. Yes, the game is a variable in this equation.
D4 crashed my PC (Nvidia 4080) from overheating at the waiting in Queue screen. I went into another room while waiting on the Queue screen and came back to a restarted desktop.
It looked like when the D4 queue screen was “in context” the GPU was pushed to 100% utilization, then swapping something else as the main in-context window set the GPU back to something like 2% utilization.
I suspect the FPS aren’t capped by the D4 game process at the point and just spike the GPU card until death.
Didn’t have any issues during cutscenes since usually skip past them, but in retail release will watch them.
This is eerily familiar to what Amazon allowed to happen on the New World release with uncapped framerates in cutscenes and login queues burning up video cards.
What i find really funny, is this is happening on just the nvidia 3080 ti. But yet i am running an AMD rx580, which is actually a much much older graphics card. Running at 144 fps. And my gpu is just fine. I been playing all weekend, since launch of the beta. I have had no issues with my gpu running hot, or crashing my pc one bit. So maybe contact nvidia because it seems to be an issue with nvidia. Not the game. The devs cant fix something that isnt on their end, when it deals with a gpu issue.
If it was an issue with the card it would surface with other graphics intensive or poorly optimized games as well. For everyone thats had a bricked 3080ti so far, that has not been the case.
Mine didnt burn up but as i said before my fans went straight to top speed during the chapel scene. I cant stress this gpu with maxed cyberpunk 2077 graphics settings. But that chapel almost turned it into slag.
Its the game, m8. And they NEED info like this before release to prevent yet another catastrophic PR disaster.
And as others have said, theres a very recent example of this happening and bricking gpus (New World) so the theory isnt without precedent.
I’m starting to think this is the same issue as Diablo II Resurrected, where certain portions of the game are rendered on +1000 FPS for some reason (for me it’s always on very specific parts of the Spider Forest and Flayer Jungle in Act 3).
I’m very paranoid with GPU temperatures, so I always have MSI Afterburner and SpeedFan on to constantly check on performance. I have a Gigabyte 2060 and I while thankfully didn’t experience any crashes during the beta, I had some performance issues on the very same scene where most Gigabyte 3080ti had crashes on (the flashback cutscene at the chapel); my temps went from comfortable 60 ~ 65C to whopping >85C. So there is definitely something going on there. Even after I capped framerates at 120FPS, then at 60FPS, I was still having issues with that cutscene.
