[Cyberpunkd]

The worst card on the list is still 220€ online in Europe, ouch.

Having said that after owning PS5 and the Steam Deck I am slowly getting around to building a mini tower gaming PC as my next machine.

 

[RoboFu]

4060 ti 8 gig can play the game at 60 fps at 1440 on ultra settings.

That's not bad. You guys complain too much.

 

[OverHeat]

lol at the 4080, 4080 super and 4090 being equal CPU limited as fuck

And the 3DVcache is doing miracles, again.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Game's a looker and seems to be well optimized, nice.

 

[Spyxos]

Did they fix the overheating issues?

 

[Fortress of Regrets]

Did they fix the overheating issues?

There's no overheating issue with the game, unless your setup is... less than optimal. No game can overheat your CPU. If your CPU can't sustain 100% load for hours it has issues.

This game is just intense and will expose poor cooling and power issues.

It's like people asking why the game is hard rebooting their system. The game isn't, as such. It is just exposing a power issue.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

My 3080 10gb still holding up well. Nice to see.

 

[KyoZz]

Something is not right here

Of course the game that i'm not gonna buy run like a dream...

Fortress of Regrets is right, you shouldnt really be running into overheating issues, but interestingly the release day notes do mention this:

A first update will come this week. It should fix:

• Multiple crashfix (start of the game, 1st cutscene crash, etc...)
• Improvement to CPU overheat issue
• Server improvements
• Render bug improvements

 

[MadchesterManc]

4K/60 may be doable on the 3090 if its getting 93 at 1440p

 

[Buggy Loop]

Both graphs are 1440p ULTRA, I don't get it? One must be 4k?

 

[Fortress of Regrets]

Fortress of Regrets is right, you shouldnt really be running into overheating issues, but interestingly the release day notes do mention this:

Interesting note for sure. I guess they can do optimization to hammer the CPU less and thus provide relief for people with insufficient cooling. But game code itself should not be able to overheat a suffiently cooled CPU.

My 5900X sure didn't melt while I completed the game over the weekend.

 

[Redefine07]

I have an i5-13500 and RX7900XT Vapor-X and works really great should I use TAA or FSR ? (1440p display btw)

 

[R6Rider]

They are showing different cards.

 

[Korranator]

What CPU did they use for this?

 

[Buggy Loop]

Ah ok, they are expanding list since it was so big

 

[Skifi28]

I have an i5-13500 and RX7900XT Vapor-X and works really great should I use TAA or FSR ? (1440p display btw)

With that card you should be able to do 1440p native and stay well above 60fps, so I'd say stay away from FSR.

Steam was full of people talking about cpus and gpus being too hot.

Getting pretty hot here. I think i saw 90 degrees shortly on Gpu.

[OmegaSupreme]

This youtube channel always does something to make AMD look good. In this video they use a cpu that bottlenecks nvidia's three fastest cards. I get it's a recommended spec but c'mon, who uses two generation old cpus when benchmarking gpus?

I believe the 7800x3d is still the fastest gaming CPU available.

 

[delirium trigger]

I believe the 7800x3d is still the fastest gaming CPU available.

And I agree but we're benchmarking gpus here.

 

[winjer]

And I agree but we're benchmarking gpus here.

That's why they are using the 7800X3D. As not to limit the GPUs. But still, it does, except at 4K.

Nvm, I fucked that up. Thought I read they were using the recommended spec 5800x.

I put their test system specs on the first post.

 

[HogIsland]

6700XT is showing its age, but there's nothing in the < 250W range that would give enough of an upgrade. I'll take a look at the 5070Ti when it's ready.

 

[Garibaldi]

I was seeing 70c on my 5950x when playing single player (30% usage). About 80c when playing the same campaign with a couple of mates. GPU (3090) was around 65c.

That AMD PBO working as intended, supporting my house heating system during these cold Northern evenings.

PBO does so little for zen3.
Try using Curve Optimizer.

Don't really care enough to fiddle on tbh. It compiles my code extremely fast and no games ever touch the sides of stressing it. It's like 4 years old now. Can't be arsed with fiddling on with it anymore.

 

[eNT1TY]

My 4070 ti w/9900k runs similar to slightly worse than my son's 4070 super w/7800X3d, quite different than Wukong results where his runs like 15-25% better across all settings; odd results as this game is supposed to be the cpu limited one.
Edit: @ 1440p

• Improvement to CPU overheat issue

Lol wrong thread, too much to drink tonight!

Chances are, all you have to do is set CO to -30 all core. And you get lower temps with higher sustained clocks.

 

[Nikodemos]

That's not entirely true.
A borked scaling governor can make the CPU run continuously in boost mode.
This is important, because modern CPUs are designed similarly to mobile SoCs. As such, they aren't intended to constantly run at full blast on all cores (not with wide-market-grade cooling solutions, anyway).

Pretty sure it instantly turns on CPU boost when you run the game, cause my NH-D15 goes to 1300RPM as soon as I open the game and my CPU is at 84-87 degrees while being in the main menu, before even loading a save.
It just seems kinda excessive to have CPU boost on even when nothing is happening on screen.
All my case fans are 140mm Noctua PWMs, which are supposed to be some of the most silent ones in the market. This game ramps up the CPU so hard that it makes most of the fans to go almost max RPM, so it's like playing the game in an airplane. I've never experienced something like this before, it's weird.

Edit: Seems like the first patch of the game completely fixed this. The game isn't throttling the CPU at all times anymore.

I bet that's supposed to read overhead.

It's always the same news story when some demanding game comes around. "New World bricked my GPU/console" etc. No your cooling just didn't work.

 

[TintoConCasera]

Game turns my computer into an air fryer. Thanks!

 

[SpokkX]

Locked 60fps at 1440p high/ultra with dlss on 4070 super and 14700f

Frankly it is pretty much technically flawless for me - i dont even see any shader stuttering at all

 

[hlm666]

Does this game use avx instructions? if so that's probably why people cpus are getting hot. Should really be stress testing your machines with avx workloads if your doing any overclocking even auto bios ones.

Chances are, all you have to do is set CO to -30 all core. And you get lower temps with higher sustained clocks.

or set the ppt to 180 watts or something for the easiest way to reduce heat.

 

[PeteBull]

What CPU did they use for this?

bis, r7 7800x3d, keep in mind they tested game durning huge battle so it was really heavy even on that amazing best in slot cpu.

 

[Garibaldi]

Chances are, all you have to do is set CO to -30 all core. And you get lower temps with higher sustained clocks.

Possibly, but I like to test and ensure stability for work reliability and I'm just not in the mood to do that. 80c is well within the thermal limits of the CPU and most stuff barely get it above 65c when stressing a few cores. I'm just not that fussed about maximising it's potential.

Maybe when I have a some free time I'll look into it. Cheers.

Was kinda the same for me with a similar setup. My undervolted 3090 rarely hit 70, but my undervolted 5800X3D was near or at 80 most of the time. Usage seemed similar to most games tho, MSI Afterburner only had power about 60w with just a few threads pushing past 30%. I've seen games like Darktide (with raytracing on) & NFS Unbound pushing 80w+ on this CPU that didn't see temps pass around 70 or so

The game has a problem with some CPUs, you need to turn off ecores on the Intel 12900K to improve performance.

I think there is a big difference between "woke" and "e-cores".
And I suspect they are not the same thing.
