COD is overtemping my GPU

[kimosabi]

I think CoD is the new GPU benchmark we've all been waiting for. I don't know if I've seen another game that taxes the videocard as much as this game.

Look at the fan speed curve - it is not stepping up. Try playing with the fan control settings; you can manually adjust the response as the GPU activity increases.

Looks like your engine needs better cooling, too! I think I'll spend the next few weeks just learning how to fly before going online... Fullreal is going to be lots more fun.

haha yeah I was too busy trying to get a good screenshot and I left my radiator closed!! On the other hand I just cant play this game until something is done about the GPU temps. I run the risk of frying a 500 dollar card at these temps .

Did you try increasing the fan response? Click on the configuration spanner in EVGA Precision and then Fan, Enable software automatic fan control. You can manually change rpm:temperature.

Mate, how I wish we could say that. Instead, bad optimization is the answer...

Yeah, just being positive here. lol

Mine is the opposite, I have a gtx295 that runs at about 85 degrees in all other games but sits at around 63 in COD (it idles @59), dosent seem to be working it at all. Frame rates are still poor, maybe cause the 295 runs in sli?

Yes, sounds like the next patch will address SLI support and hopefully this will include multi-GPU.

I'm sorta hoping 1C release the coming fixes one at a time (in quickish succession)... ya know, make sure one is working correctly first then introduce the next fix, then the next, etc
