I am a Gigabyte GTX 580 owner since 2 weeks. Things run really hot here aswell but it tops out at ~83C with 60-65% fanspeed after I rearranged my case fans.

I tried to figure out what caused the 99% usage but the only thing i noticed was the more options I played with the more I filled up my video ram.. This game is like running furmark or something!

if you want to get for example 50% gpu-load you will get half of framerate. Do you understand now?

I dont know if it works quite like that however with ROF on max settings I see GPU usage fluctuate between 40-70 percent and I stay at my vsync lock of 60 FPS regardless.

Don't be silly Obviously something is wrong here, no game should never have a constant max load.

Show me any game in the World that have this exact behaviour as we have here.

it is a bit silly to think constant max load is an exception in games. The high temp comes from heavy usage of all gpu ressources, not primarily from high gpu-load. There is a difference. Its wrong to discuss the high temp problem as a bug of the game..

so your saying that even though i have my card over clocked as far as it can be that it still should not be at %100 load on the GPU?

Wtf, are you raaid?

Where's the connection between an OC'd GPU and the load applied by a game?

OK Nigelmcelwee, last time I told you
Quote:
@nigelmcelwee: It will definitively solve some of your issues but nevertheless, it is not normal that your GPU works 99% all time.
My 570 works at 40% above sea, above ground 70%-90% (all numbers as per GPU-Z) so, if you have 99% all time something is not right...
Now with SLI somewhat working (it is a fix, not an official solution) I start seeing GPU at 99% and temperatures going up to 88°C
I admit I got a bit worried....

SLI fix is at: http://forum.1cpublishing.eu/showthread.php?t=23199

(Did not have time to make a long test and see where the temperature stabilised)
EDIT: After some tests, my GPU temperature remains constant 88°C this is good enough and within specs so no worries.
But, if I open the case and the side fan does not push fresh air to the GPUs' fans, temp will jump above 93° immediately!
So streamlining the fresh air inside your case guys, especially if you run SLI or triple-SLI configurations will be something to cautiously watch guys!

3840x1024 desktop, 3072x1024 game, far right my GPUs % and temp


3840x1024 desktop, 3072x1024 game, far right my GPUs % and temp




~S~


PS. Luthier, please give us back the Use3Renders=1 command so that all of us with three monitors can enjoy some decent gaming!!!!!

Maybe not with the anomaly that is CoD, but without vsync the GPU should work at 100% to pump out as many frames per second possible.

The OP could try enabling Vsync to limit his FPS, that might give the GPU a break. Otherwise, take everyone's advice and your rig should look something like this:
