Damn I feel like a stooge, thanks!
Unless you specifically changed settings, you shouldnāt be tripping any kill switches baked into a GPU to keep it from cooking itself at 82 C. 90? 95? Sure.
I hate to ask, but have you updated your drivers lately?
No problem, let me know if it helped.
I made a mistake I have a 3050 lol. I donāt have the option to access the performance slider on Alt+Z ( I had been watching the overlay prior to writing my post last night) which seems odd to me, perhaps I need to re install Ge force. What I do have is a 3 setting fan button on my laptop above the F keys with a few others. The 3 settings are āsilentā this seems to cap gpu power at 40-50ish watts. Next is performance, this is 50ish to 68 watts and last is turbo which goes up to at least 85 watts. The screen becomes far more bright at performance and more clear on Turbo but when I play on Turbo and open stash in town my GPU temp goes from 65-70 to 80, and after the update last night my fans were going crazy on this setting, so much that I closed down the game for fear of spinning a bearing.
There is for sure an issue with the character screen/character select screen. The wattage spikes like crazy, nearly double as does the load on the gpu and temp goes to 82 max which is too close to red line for me. Iām a car guy, your analogy was bang on. Canāt redline or be close to if you want components for anything to last, physics are what they are.
Not sure if I need to re install Geforce to get the slider menu up and running or perhaps its not supported. Iām going to contact customer support about it. In the meantime it would be lovely if Blizzard did their damn jobs and axed the super rendering that seems to take place at character/stash screens. No other function or game does this to my laptop so I have to conclude that itās an issue of that particular imput code.
Youāre right when you say its two different things, some cards may have faults but this games code is causing another issue. The 1070 I have on my gaming rig (2018 build late) is totally fine. Never goes above 66 C and wattage never goes above 70C.
All monitors are synced Hz to Framerate for my games and has been for awhile now. Iāll update this when I can post my specs doing an update as we speak.
Are you talking about GeForce control panel or GeForce Experience?
Experience, I checked the control panel but I only have 2 options, auto or performance.
I can monitor from GeForce Exp but I canāt interact with anything other than an āauto tuneā button which warns me about over clocking.
Was able to limit GPU power in Armory Crate, game doesnāt take my GPU above 68C unless I open the character screen then it maxes at 75C.
These guys really need to update their code this is nuts. Last night when I swapped my laptop refresh from 60hz to 144hz and put framerate to 144 I thought a jet was taking off in my living room, this is what caused me to worry about spinning a fan bearing.
I took the monitor back down to 60hz, fr capped at 58. In Armory Crate Iāve taken any overclocking off on the GPU slider, and set GPU powersaving to advanced on the slider which limits GPU power. My wattage in GeForce performance overlay doesnāt go above 65 unless Iām in the character screen then it hits 70. Iāve also noticed that it spikes up randomly (non combat) and goes back down same with temp. In combat its locked at 66C/55 Watts.
System specs are
CPU AMD Ryzen 7 4800H with Radeon Graphics
Graphics card nvidia geforce rtx 3050 laptop gpu, amd radeon graphics
16 g ram
nopeā¦ if ppl fried their gpu its not the gameā¦ nothing wrong with the gameā¦ its some stupid overclock, voltage setting or bad coolingā¦
Did you even read the post? I clearly stated that GPUs that get fried had pre existing faults.
There is something wrong with the game seperate from the GPUs that died.

So I switched back to an AMD card and sent the Intel Arc gpu back to the retailer, not just because of D4, but because the ARC A750 was idling at anywhere between 51 and 58 degrees. That is unacceptable to me when my 5700 XT idles at 44 without afterburner.
Just wanted to give a heads up, I observed the 5700 XT also getting really warm and the fan really going nuts when opening the inventory screen, but upon installing afterburner and setting up a custom fan curve, the gpu didnāt get hotter than 65 degrees, where before, it was registering as high as 88 with the default fan curve that AMD ships.
YMMV, just a heads up. My custom curve goes from 60% to 75% at 80 degrees and 80% at 100 degrees. Seems to work great for me.
Curious when there is going to be a fix for this, as I have exhausted all avenues on my end to fix their mistakes.
If you have a powerful enough gpu i can only recommend to use msi afterburner to set the powerlimit to 60% or even as low as 45% and cap the fps at 80. At least for me this is working out well enough with nvidias dlss or amds fidelity fx set to quality. It saves a ton of energy and your room from excessive heating. At least until the devs fix this UI powerdraw mess.
I have a 6900xt, and use AMD Adrenalin/Fidelity FX. I turned Radeon Chill on which limits FPS to save power, lowered min FPS to 30, max to 60ā¦and still having major issues. So you are suggesting I select the Undervolt GPU on the power tuning?
I dont know about the radeon software tools, but doesnt afterburner work for amd cards too? There is a simple slider on its main window called āpower limitā. There you can set the maximum power draw in %. No need to directly set voltages. I also wouldnt recommend anyone to directly temper with those, since it can damage the card if you dont know what you do.
The power limit slider just sets the wattage the card is allowed to draw. Its basically like not pushing the gas pedal at full throttle. Been using it for years on my cards and its a blessing in warmer months.

Yeah I lowered the Max Frequency to 80% and the Voltage to 80%, and I will try that later today. So that should lower the Max Clock Speed and Voltage run to the card.
6900xt is a pretty powerful card. I wouldnt be surprised if it held 80 fps with fidelity fx set to quality at 50% or even 45% powerlimit. My 4080 holds 80 fps at 1440p with everything set to ultra with quality dlss at 45% powerlimit. It barely reaches 55c.
I also tested d4 with 45% powerlimit on my old 1080ti and even that old card held 80 fps with 45% powerlimit at 1080p on ultra settings with fidelity fx set to quality. Barely reached 60c. But on the older card opening the inventory or the map causes major peformance issues. Therefore highlighting the supposed bug that is going on here, or at least the undesired high power draw.
I will lower it to 50% freq and 75% voltage, I cant go under 70% voltage it, that is the lowest on the bar. I will do some testing with it later tonight when I get a chance. Thank you very much for the suggestions in that regard. Hopefully it solves my issues until they fix it on their own.
Like i said before tho, i am not familiar at all with the amd software. MSI afterburner has the much simpler power draw slider, no voltage settings needed. This makes the afterburner much more accessible for users imo.
Understood if I could put an image up I would show you, but it is just 2 slider bars, one for voltage one for frequency.
I noticed that after the update on the 12th my GPU screams at me whenever inventory is open. Fans go full blast only then, not in combat. I have the foreground capped at 75 FPS and background at like 10-12. 3080Ti.
4090, my only issues so far seem to be memory leaks due to frequent alt tabbing.
