Not sure about that, will see when update will be launched.
It has to do with E sports - simplifying the graphic take load off hardware = game is more fluid with 1000 over units on the map .
Thanks… I know that- electricity consumption to generate that much heat, is not fine, I’m paying for, not Relic. Is absolutely no excuse the present graphic to tax the card that hard. And I prove it already, my simple tweak brought my card back 45-50 C. With same settings.
Not optimized I beg to differ, I really don’t think the game ignores the FPS settings by and error.
Same pattern in CoH3 - Relic again…what a surprise.
Of course my opinion, I remember well, I wrote that. You really think is just “my opinion” that the graphic is outdated or is just a wild guess?
“Design” as in a structural skeleton where you build more animation and textures in top of that, sure is fine, but than, when will be completed? or maybe they’ll just bury the skeleton as it is in 1 year or so and than just pull another new one out of the closet. Is a high possibility, we gamers, seen that before.
Season 5 was the last update. The devs already made the changes I was talking about.
My 1070 runs at 60 to 70C across a wide variety of games. It’s getting on a bit now, you see.
The same goes for your 1080, especially the Ti. I’m glad you got the temps down (not that you’re telling us how), but 70C is fine and isn’t going to wear out the card at all.
that usage is a bit deceiving
it shows usage of all cpu cores, aoe4 only really uses 1 properly
hence only 60%
if you use 3rd party tools to view cores individually you’ll get smt like this:
core 0 99%
core 1 31%
core 2 23%
core 3 5%
that 99% is where the bottleneck lies, big part of game’s code running on just 1 core thus slowing everything down
and no past aoe titles are no better at this
If you are happy to pay electricity for an extra 50-80 watt/hour - yes you’ll be fine with 70 C. However you have to mind that when shows 70 C, the Vram can be 90 C, Vram are always hotter than the chip. Chips don’t fry, Vram does, and is enough 1 memory chip to fry to brick your card. You start to worry when Vram gets 105 C. Micron chips tend to be more heat resistant than Samsung but, is just not enough data about it.
1070 still a good card, just don’t let games ignore your settings. And cool your backplate with an extra fan, can reduce your temps from 5 -10 C. It does on mine 9-11 C- a 92mm fan.
Did you repasted your card? Thermal pads changed?
I run AoE 4 - high settings @ 1440, ambient occlusion off(no need more blur is plenty already)
As for my tweaks, I have no clue you are interested since your belief that 70 C on GPU “is fine”.
Just ask and I will comply, don’t tell people 70 C is fine -some might believe you - in a long run 70 C will cost you more than 50C - those watts comes out of your/ours pocket.
If AoE4 is using only one core than is a slap in the face, but I believe it uses 2 at least, maybe I’m wrong.
I have to see in 4vs4 how many will go 99 % but in 1vs1 and 2vs2 none.
Image you see is 1vs1 AI hardest.
you can see pretty clearly one core/thread is working harder than any other, and yes with enough happening on screen, big enough battle for example, you should reach that 99% pretty easily
I have an Nvidia 3070, I can get around 60 FPS with the highest settings in 3440 x 1440 res (2k 21:9) with a power consumption of around 100 W and a temperature below 50 °C. This having set the maximum power to 38% via the GeForce Experience overlay. If I let it run loose it stalls around 71 °C with 80-90 FPS in big battles, consuming more than 250 W.
Yeah, I think Rise and Fall did some awesome things I’ve never seen in another RTS. It would be really cool if AOE 4 could add some similar features, especially around the naval battles.
