[2020] AMD r9 380 GPU usage 100% idle 80degrees

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having this issue! As Last Epoch is an early access game, its optimization isn’t as complete as a released game and this is something we continue to work on with every patch. While we want to avoid these situations, it’s something that will have to be improved over time.

While 80-90 degrees celsius is not an ideal temperature, 90 degrees can certainly be within the expected operating temperature of your GPU, depending on what the exact card you have is. I don’t believe this represents a serious personal safety hazard - unless there is a already a critical hardware fault a graphics card will not catch on fire or similar.

While there isn’t an immediate fix I can offer from our side, I would recommend looking up the maximum operating temperature for your graphics card to determine the severity of this problem. You can also use monitoring software like Afterburner to see if your graphics card’s frequency decreases at that temperature, which indicates thermal throttling. You may want to consider cleaning your graphics card’s cooler or seeing if your computer’s airflow can be improved.

I hope this information was helpful, even if it wasn’t the answer you wanted.

Thanks for posting an update! I really appreciate it.

For clarification-- could you confirm that enabling v-sync in the settings window inside the game did not help temperatures? You mentioned that you tried lots of settings, but I want to make sure. Did you have v-sync enabled in-game after making the changes in your AMD settings?
