no, mine stays cool. 4080s.
try limiting framerate. Also check vsync is not set to fast in driver settings.
But in general GPU should never heat up to 100 °C no matter how much stress you put on it. Perhaps case cooling insufficient?

Hi insettoinfetto,

With the reset of graphics options that came with 1.0, my resolution defaulted to the maximum of my monitor - which is very high. Once I set the resolution back to what I was using prior to the 1.0 release I was able to duplicate other in-game graphics back to what they were prior to 1.0 and both performance and temperature were quite acceptable.

'45-55 degree celsius when Idle' is pretty high, especially in an air conditioned room. Does taking the side off your case help at all? You might want to consider investing in some more case fans.

Anything above 60c when under load suggests a serious issue somewhere and I doubt it is the game, unless you are running settings that are way beyond the capabilities of your rig.

Thanks for the tip
I set to full screen and lower the res to 1600x900 and temp drop to 80-85 degree.
If I set 2560x1080 is at 87-93.
Still too high IMHO (i'm in the main screen)
So don't think that is the reason.

And I remember I always played in borderless window, so don't think res is the reason.
When temp was on 100 degree I was playing at 3440x1440.

I even set to OFF REFLEX in Graphics but nothing changed.

I don't have this problem so you don't either

To be clear:

I did have reduced performance (frames per second) and somewhat higher GPU temperatures before reducing the reset (default) screen resolution that was introduced with 1.0. What I am saying is simply a suggestion, Lowpala.

When your cooling is sufficient you can run GPU 24/7 at 100% load training AI, mining bitcoins etc... it still should not overheat.

No any software can cause GPU overheat due to a bug or by design. If there is a scenario which can overheat your GPU, your cooling is insufficient.

And with the other games, it doesn't mean anything. If it overheats in a game it will also overheat in GPU benchmarks.

GPU can overheat when the case cooling is insufficient, or the graphic cards itself have insufficient cooling.

Sorry I said Idle but I shoudl said without SCUM running. I was running some other apps (gpu monitoring tools, streaming app, Premiere Pro, etc)

I'll reboot PC and check the temp when idle. Btw running deadside at 2560x1080 "medium settings" i'm at 76 degree....

Usually, temperature issues are caused by user setup, but I agree that this game pushes my GPU harder than others. I haven’t checked on my other PC yet, but on my current system with a 4090, it reaches around 70°C. That’s not too high, but it’s unusual because my GPU normally runs cooler. My room is also pretty hot, though.

100°C is definitely too much.

Try adjusting your GPU fan curve. If that doesn’t help, consider cleaning the GPU and replacing the thermal paste if it’s old.

If you can’t do that right now, a temporary workaround is to cap your FPS. Even if you lower the graphics settings, the GPU can still be heavily used if the framerate is uncapped, so it will keep working hard.

That said, this is just a workaround. A 4080 or any other good gaming GPU running that hot in a game like SCUM is not normal.

Just a thought, but I have noticed a significant difference between our desktop and our gaming laptop GPU temperatures when my husband and I are both playing SCUM.

Are you using a gaming laptop insettoinfetto? I think ours (i9, 3080) had to be set to 60 frames per second to keep temperatures at a reasonable level - even with a cooling pad in an air conditioned room. I am definitely not a tech person but I am pretty sure that was what was done. The desktop I am using is not capped and is running much cooler at 2560 x 1440 than what you are sharing.

Sarah

Possible to solve it by multiple things and only one needs to work

1 change van speeds to a maximum 100 % when reaching a specific ° before it even reaches 100 ° , mine is locked at 90 its impossible to bypass it with my 3080 TI no matter how hard a game will try.

2 lock the framerate , Locking the framerate exactly to 86 fps there is no CPU load or almost any GPU load , game loads only stuff like when sunset is going down or up after that its silent again.
It doesnt have to be 86 you can set your number preference and try it out.
( sun is permanently on my room in summer causing it into a Sauna , therefore iam forcing games to low temps , usually its 360+ for the perfect heating GPU tool )

3 keep the original resolution with enabling DLSS balanced mode it will cause the screen somewhat blurry but each one has to decide if you want to use it or not, i dont use it.

4 windows or the GPU driver messed something up :D restart.

I would not reccomend lowering original resolution.

That’s actually a good point, Sarah. I assumed Insetto was using a desktop.

If he’s on a laptop, those high temperatures are still too much, and my recommendations are still worth considering. However, it’s not too surprising for a laptop to run hotter more easily.

Problem is I saw the same temperature raise on 2 different PCs, as I wrote. 4070 is the one that reach 100 degree, but 4080 goes up as well.
Are you on Win10 22H2 with latest nvidia driver?

No, both system are mid tower with liquid coolers. but only 4070 reached high temperatures. It's the dual fan version, the short version.

Ok I did a undervolt for 4070 (flattening of the curve above some frequencies) with MSI afterburner and now it does not goes above 70 degree, even with thunderstorm, heavy rains, inside samombor.

It seems that some dual 4070 have this problem and doing that fix do not lower performance. I'm at 130-140 fps in borderless mode at 3440x1440.

I'll check the 4080 tomorrow.
