Explanations aside…
Bottom line is, the GPU and CPU is going to have more demand right now, if you don’t change any other settings after Blizzard went and disabled both Frame Gen and now DLSS.
So those running nVidia cards are going to feel it.
The only options you have? Adjust your settings back:
- Lower the FPS or cap it to a lower setting. (I have been running 100FPS as a cap all year)
- Turn off the frills. → Ray Tracing, Peripheral Lighting, Distortion, Chromatic Aberration.
- Drop some of the quality settings. Depending on your card you may want to drop down from Ultra.
Please note, this is at least till they straighten out whatever it is that was broke. Which is hopefully soon.
Other option would be to stop playing till they fix it, if you are really worried about heat and stress.
