Bad GPU cooling aside, the point of this video/thread is to show that bringing up the menu that shows your 3D character model causes a huge spike in the GPU’s needed power and with that comes a spike in temperature. What is weird is that I could have 100 fires on the screen and fight Uber Lilith and the GPU would work nowhere near as hard.
I don’t get what’s so demanding about the inventory but this seems very, very poorly optimised if it makes a GPU heat up this much.
Again, the point of this is to show that the menu/inventory/3D character model puts a lot of stress on the PC and there’s no good reason for it. Normal gameplay gets nowhere near this temperature/GPU usage.
For reference I have a Gigabyte RTX 2060 Super Windforce OC, which is a notoriously bad card for thermals, but that’s besides the point. The point is that Diablo 4’s inventory seems to demand a ton of resources from your PC, far more than normal gameplay does. And that’s simply weird. I’m sitting in town with nothing happening, then I open inventory and my PC is on fire.
PS: dont mind the slightly missleading title… most ppl in that thread experience the same issue, me included
PPS: try going to the vendor… two 3d portraits… even more noise and heat
Try lowerin fur quality to the lowest possible. It helped a ton with druid. The other classes are fine in inventory screen, but druid with fur is demanding as hell.
same problem here, when im in town i set to 60 fps and sell/salvage my loot then i roll back to my original settings, 60 fps gets hot aswell but it takes longer to reach high temps.
First thing that you really want to do > set power limit for your GPU( MSI Afterburner for NVIDIA, something really low like 50-70%). Fps lock, lowering ssao/fur quality, turning off nvidia reflex, undervoltage could also help. But Powerlimit works really well here.
Nah, this doesn’t work. It’s the 3D char rendering.
None of this are the issue. The issue is Blizzard fixing their menu. This isn’t a question of ''how do I make my GPU not heat up" it’s an issue of " Why does Diablo 4’s menu require the GPU to go 10C hotter than normal gameplay "
Something is wrong with their game if the menu heats your PC more than gameplay
But that requires them to make a change. The suggestions I was posting were things we can do to help mitigate the problem until they address it. If they address it.
Well if they don’t they really deserve all the negative backlash because they have a menu that melts your card for no reason. I’ve never seen this in any game. It’s laughable. How can opening your bags make your GPU spike 15C up in temperature? No other game that I know of has had this issue.
