    I have to do this in UE5 games. The new Silent Hill made my GPU go nuclear.

  3. trankillity

    I mean, it’s a good practice anyway. Cap @ a few Hz under refresh means you save power==money too.

    Or to stop the goddamn coil whine

  5. shemhamforash666666

    Does the author of this meme own an RTX 5090 by any chance?

  6. apachelives

    Or invest in a decent case with good airflow and keep your rig clean.

    A good rig should be able to handle 100% load (CPU AND GPU) any time without issue.

    When I was playing the yakuza franchine, I had to cap my FPS either to 60 or 120 so my gpu wouldn’t try to kill itself staying at 100% even at menus

    It was quite funny

    EDIT: Spelling

    EDIT2 : Sorry if I sounded so serious about it

    My PC isn’t overheating or anything — I just prefer to run the game at 120 FPS while keeping power usage around 150–250W, instead of going uncapped and having my GPU pull 350W+ constantly

    It’s just a personal preference
    And when I said it’s “killing itself,” I meant the fans go nuclear when the GPU is running at full capacity

    I mean V-Sync does this too… and its arguably easier to apply also.

    Sometimes it feels criminal running only 60Hz with my RTX4090 – but thats all my TV can do and without vsync the frame-tearing is jarring.

    So I save gaming on the TV for open-world/adventure games when relaxing – eg Tomb Raider Remastered, Wukong, Jedi Survivor.
    Anything else has to be played on the 180Hz gaming monitor

    My gpu never got above 86c unless I’m rendering footage. Still had never overheated tho. Once you get a good gpu you’ll understand

  13. Sasya_neko

    I cap it at 60fps, not because my gpu can’t handle it but because my monitor can’t.

  14. CYCLONOUS_69

    The more you CAP, the more you SAVE!

  15. Cytrous

    Laughs in liquid cooled GPU that barely gets above 60c

  16. lolletje08

    Wel damn.. I need to cap them at about 70% power draw and leave the side panel open otherwise they get to hot… Luckily I am planning to switch to water cooling.

  18. therebkin

    Nah, if it’s a single player game I enable VSync, if it’s an online game I just limit fps to 75. I undervolted my card but the lower the temp the better

  19. thekrisn4

    for me it’s more about my room getting hotter, I live in a tropical area

  21. Mafla_2004

    I grew a habit of doing it after gaming on a laptop with severe thermal throttling, now I am on a tower PC with an RTX 4080 Super and don’t have that problem, but I cap my framerate anyway

    Afaik it’s a good practice in general, why should I push my GPU at 100% to render 200 FPS if my monitor can only display 144? I cap the framerate, see no difference, make the GPU work less and last longer and also save power and money, there are only upsides

  22. ChaosPLus

    Ya know, capping your FPS is good practice anyways, that way at least during loading screens or in low requirement games you won’t be needlessly going 500fps over your monitors refresh rate

  23. EastLimp1693

    80c – 100% fan speed. Card never breaks 75 at 450+w.

  24. Pradip_Swar

    I hate to see my rtx 3070 vulcan Oc go to 70 and above so I cap fps to 65 in games like RDR2 Ghost of tsushima, etc. it keeps the temp mostly under 65 but may go to 67 max. And undervolting my gpu helped a lot so far.

  25. PsychologicalCodeRed

    I have a 180Hz 1440p monitor, and I have capped every game at 140 FPS. Now my GPU doesn’t go over 62 degrees. I am happy, my GPU is happy.

  26. dopefish86

    I hate it when a game menu runs with thousands of FPS on my 60Hz display and the gpu fan starts cranking up like a jet engine.

  28. Yaarmehearty

    I just do it because whats the point in generating a bunch of frames you can’t see? Like limiting my sound card to the max bit depth and sample rate of my music because why resample too much?

    I don’t run resolutions regularly that push more than 120hz so why render 200 frames?

  31. phantomzero

    Capped at 117 on my 120Hz TV. Viva la VVR!

  32. metalord_666

    I do this as well. Max rate is 180, but I don’t need that much for almost all games I play except DOOM.. so I cap it at 144 or even 120. Instantly 5 degrees cooler.

  34. ir88ed

    My 4090 is fine with 85degC, but my small room gets so hot I have to cap

  35. Jupiterplant

    There’s nothing more satisfying than seeing that number on the top corner go up and up

  36. ChocolateDonut36

    I actually don’t want two Millon fps if my monitor is 59.94hz

  37. MERAJAT15

    I have capped it to 60 fps don’t play e-sports much so don’t need crazy fps lol

  38. RiffyDivine2

    Screen supports upwards of 240fps, and on a 4090. So no, not yet anyway.

  39. centuryt91

    my paste is so old i consistently overheat with an undervolted gpu making me lock everything new to around 70 to 90 fps so i dont get higher than 70C and if i hit 70C i will 110% hit 80C

  40. oodsigma8

    I lower my power limit so my fans are quieter lol

  41. TheWhiteGuardian

    Having to undervolt a 5090 and trying to stay close to stock clocks so you don’t melt your cables and PSU.

  42. SubstantialZombie604

    A overheating GPU isn’t what I call success…

  44. brandodg

    what if it goes into heat and reproduces

  45. Beneficial_Guest_810

    Capped in the summer.

    Uncapped in the winter, “free” space heater.

  46. x33storm

    A computer that overheats is bad. That there is not a solution. Fix the hardware issue.

  47. Krisevol

    Not sure this is the right meme format
