[0.9.0.0] Title Screen: Frame limiter required to prevent overheating #17229

Open IcedForge opened 4 years ago

IcedForge commented 4 years ago

Main menu idleing causes abnormal GPU usage and mass increase heat until critical reboot. DxDiag.txt Screenshot_241 61541cdc4b6a873fc4da03ed150011aa

As you can tell by the graphs the heat spike is when i am in the main title menu idle the before and after is actively playing on the playtest server on a average temperature of 49c vs 70-80c if i let it sit in idle for only 3-4 min time.

Graphic Settings 20200722205125_1

After starting the game today i also got an issue in main menu. But it's intermittent for me. GPU goes up to 100 for a few seconds, back to normal, up to 100, back to normal. Very funny to hear the fans ;)

I have the same issue on Staging 1695 and it is consistent. As long as I'm in the main menu, GPU load is at around 80%. When I go ingame it goes down to around 40%.

Left my commentary in the PR but TL;RD i suggest using 45 FPS limit until the time can be spent fixing this problem permanently.

Using 45 FPS 68.5 - 70.5% GPU usage Keeps me on a flat 64c level with 0 fluctuations in the main menu. Screenshot_35 Screenshot_33

Using 60 FPS With the same graphics settings. It is slowly creeping upwards with longer intervals between each degree BUT it is slowly rising i stopped checking at 76c as i know my card does not play nice at 80c ranges with temperature fail safes disabling the card until reboot. Screenshot_36

Changed back to 45 FPS And the temp drops down immediately. Screenshot_37

Compared to for example Witcher 3 ( locked at 60 fps by default in menu which also features an active moving scene) Screenshot_38 Overwatch with an intense main menu with effects etc kept my at around 62c stable with a locked 60fps ( default main menu setting)

So a reasonable request would be to stay somewhere around that 60c range, and to do that it would require a framerate lock at 45 until this is overhauled.

Per discussions: The FrameRateLimiter has been set to 45 FPS for the main menu.
