highly recommend not playing this till its more optimized...

[GizmoMagui]

while the GPU is pegged at 100% load and no load at all under RAM or CPU its putting a strain on just the GPU and could quite possibly over heat.  So if u plan on playing this game i recommend these checks before proceeding.
1, clean the computer 
2, well ventilated room
3, put computer within the coldest room or basement 
4, good luck because you'll need it while it melts your GPU
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
mine stayed cool enough because it has an AC unit blowing on it while its -5C/23F outside 16C/61F in house  under load it was reaching 70C / 158F way higher if i didn't have a cold room. So keeping a cool room will keep the temps at bay so highly recommend a cool place to play haha
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
CPU load  range from 4% to 6%
Ram load 2.7%
Ethernet seems it sends out data..........
GPU load mostly 100% while not much is being shown or on screen.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
while my PC seems safe enough with its Temps. it might not be for everyone so take my input with a big grain of salt and happy gaming..

Interesting.

I'm running a 3070 pushing 4k.  My GPU is getting between 50 c and 75c depending on what I'm doing, and I keep the game up and running for quite a while.  Air cooled, but a well-ventilated box.  Just sitting in an ambient air room, no special AC setup (probably 68 degrees).

OTOH I am getting 100% GPU during low altitude stuff.

But these GPUs should be fine at those temperatures.  Not uncommon for these 3000 series cards to get above 80 - and I don't think they even start throttling until 85 or so.

...

I'm mostly recommending people to not play if they just want to play.  If they enjoy the Alpha/Beta experience and want to help identify bugs... I'd still probably recommend waiting for the next patch - although this one changed the game considerably.

[Fullmetal Analyst]

yeah its basically same as cyberpunk which destroyed many GPUs around release lol

[The Aziz]

Modern nvidia GPUs sit comfortable even at just above 80⁰c.

[MechBFP]

GPUs are meant to run at 100% and are designed to run hot. If they get too hot because of something like the users computer is dirty and clogged with dirt/hair they will automatically throttle anyway.

It’s not a problem. 

[sumeee]

Modern CPU/Graphics Cards are design to run at full power, although full power is relative and it depends on the available power and cooling.

On the other hand, full power and 100% utilization it's not the same thing. When a tool is stating that the GPU/CPU utilization is at 100% it's just tells you that component is not waiting for anything to do it's work. So if for example the GPU utilization is at 50% is just means that the GPU works 50% of the time at full blast and waits 50% of the time, it doesn't mean that the GPU works 100% of the time at 50% power.

so while ice is freezing outside and i have to run an window AC next to the computer just to get stable numbers and not  have the PC shut down on me from overheating. You think this is safe? haha these temps here are only because i have a window AC running over the computer case cuz its an OPEN type.  I put the Case in my spec sheet for a reason. If your computer shuts down from overheating while playing any game its a failsafe to protect your devices. While my CPU roughly sits around 27c to 35c the GPU was pegging well over its limit and thus the $6,500plus  computer build was shutting down. Now i'm not stating that everyone setup runs normal or cooler. the fact i have to have an AC unit blowing on a OPEN style pc without it overheating on JUST this GAME,  Is saying something.....

the key point here is, water freezes outside and i need to have a freaking AC unit running in WINTER wearing a freaking coat in my room just to keep the computer stable and u think this is nominal haha this makes me laugh.

What temp is your GPU? 70? It's way below overheating. If your pc shuts down at GPU reaching 80, you have other problems. And if you're so worried, get a MSI afterburner, set a temp limit and never worry again.

Meanwhile, I enjoy the warmth coming from my PC, very pleasant in cold winter months.

haha why would i need another program when i can do all of the temp curves in the bios haha silly boy tricks are for kids.  the failsafe i set was from 90c and 100c from the bios the fact my GPU was reaching this twice and then i put the AC unit in the window in the dead of winter haha while its SNOWING outside are u kidding me.
this game runs my GPU so hot that it puts other games even CP2077 to shame. i even had to lock the 1,000plus FPS i was getting to a stable 75 to be safe. WHILE IN THE MENU. there SHOULD be a FPS cap for the menu 
CP2077 burnt up cards in the menu
New World brunt up cards while in the menu luckly they patched it a day of the reports. 
and now this game menu has NO CAP of FPS  unless u roll V-sync or Free-sync. as well setting a FPS cap to your card. But we know people love high FPS numbers so they OP'ed out having these on 

DAY ONE PATCH should of locked FPS while in menu and it didn't so again i leave you with another Grain Of Salt  "play at your own risk"

If I can make a suggestion - take this story over to [H]ardOCP. Hard Forum Link

I'm guessing you have a problem that isn't directly being caused by the GPU temp. There are a lot of folks there who really enjoy getting into the weeds of stuff like this. 

All I can say is my rig is sitting in a closed, old Corsair Graphite series 600T (white) which isn't especially clean (although I do blow it out every few months).  I've got a front panel fan, back panel fan and the top vents open.  Glass is closed. 

No overheating problems at all. 

I ran a stock craft about a week ago and recorded various things including a launch to orbit and IIRC 73 degrees was the high end of Temps for the run. 

Also - why are you getting snarky with the people trying to help you?

It's clearly a hardware problem and you have to investigate and figure out what can you do to fix it. You should be able to run your rig at 100% GPU & CPU all the time at over 30°C room temp without any issues.

Do a Google search or post on some hardware forums (as JoeSchmuckatelli suggest) and figure out what issue you have with your graphics card.

I think what he's trying to say is that while 70°C is a high temperature, it is in the working range of your GPU. I would follow Joe's advice, something is seriously wrong if your hardware it's struggling and given that most of the commenters here don't recognize your symptoms in their computer, it's not unreasonable to suggest that, one way or another, your hardware has issues.

Cooling efficiency depends on temperature gradients and if a GPU is running at 120° (you're describing melting so I assume it's way over the 80° it can handle just fine) that gradient is already quite large and lowering your room temperature isn't really doing anything. If it is, something is seriously wrong with the airflow in your PC case, even when it's open.

For what it's worth, my 10 year old $1200 hardware (which includes a recent GPU upgrade) absolutely runs fine without any thermal issues when running the game, and yes, I checked, it was one of the first things I did.

I'm not saying you don't have problems, clearly you do, but consider the option that it's not the software, but rather the hardware setup somehow unable to cope with the demands, as it seems to be an isolated case.

First off, why does the temperature outside matter? It could be -100 outside but if your room is still room temperature that's the only environment the computer knows. Secondly, blowing an AC unit directly on your board is dangerous as that can make parts of your build sub-ambient meaning it can have condensation form on it, which needless to say, is bad.

why would u keep a window open in winter? frostbite anyone? have you lived in a room that is -24 to 40C in the dead of winter and summer and your only form of heat is the computer/AC running and when that computer overheats and u need an AC unit to keep it cool. and stable and then people think its hardware when i own more then 4pc in 2 room with the same specs. its somehow my hardware. HAHAHA... The AC flows OVER the case not over the board (been doing this for 25plus years no problems with all kinds of hardware. For the most part its about keeping the AIO cooled not the pc its self. while these temps are fine i can't say the same for others.

did u just say a 5950x is bottlenecked to a 3090tioc lol what this made me laugh. Clearly the game is not even using the CPU it was built mostly using GPU and thats it. even Nate Simpson the creative director KSP2  said its GPU dependent they no joke put all the load under GPU witch boggles my mind. no settings in game or out of game change or effect the outcome of the load.

Again, what?

again this game is GPU dependent  the game was only using 2.7% of my ram and 4% to 6% CPU load which means its poorly optimized and as of right now 98% of the resources used is GPU load for the time being. nothing i can do or say will change this unless they optimize the game better and even the load to put other parts of the computer under load.
