Very high GPU temp and high fan speed when opening inventory even with fps cap

When will Activision blizzard fix this serious issue? Even with fps cap to 75 and nvidia reflex off, the GPU fans speed ramps up to 3000+ rpm when opening inventory and the PC sounds like a jet engine. We can even hear the jet engine sounds from the other rooms in the house. This is really unacceptable for a 70$ AAA game. Other graphic intensive games like Cyberpunk 2077 or Resident evil 4 remake doesn’t have any issues. If Activision blizzard doesn’t fix this serious issue in 24 hours, I will refund the game.

Generally speaking, if your system can’t handle full load, it’s something with the cooling solution. You really shouldn’t plan your cooling for 30% load. With time, there will be more and more games that do that for you. Does D4 have abnormally high load in these cases? Probably, I haven’t noticed, but that’s not really the issue here, as long as the framerates are fine.

Same here, fans go crazy whenever a high-poly model of a character is displayed: vendors, inventory, wardrobe.
The only other game where I had this behavior was… Anthem.

Bumping for developers to take notice and release an emergency patch

They already noticed, here’s a pinned thread on US branch of forum:

No pinned thread here. I created a topic asking moderators to pin a topic about similar issue here, but no response for 2 days:(

It seems they don’t care about the EU forum. Nevertheless they should fix this issue asap as this is a serious technical problem inside the game.

We can post on US forums too, but the existence of EU forum if it’s ignored is a mystery to me.

Same problem here,
RTX 3070.
2k resolution
High/Medium settings
Opening Map: ~20% GPU load ~52°C
Playing normally or idle: ~63% GPU load ~59°C
Opening inventory: 97-100% GPU load ~68°C

This combined with the fact that this game has bricked some nvidia gpus in beta makes me nervous to play right now. This is not a minor issue, there is no reason why opening inventory should put maximum stress on the system, something is wrong.

It’s because if you open the inventory the game starts to render a new window with your character model and if you open the vendor for selling aswell then you have an extra window with an another model and the hardware starts to burn and usage is above 90%. Have nice day.

Same here its fu…
just normal game fight/moving/ etc gpu usage is 50-70% and W usage take 60-100W
but when u open a fu… shop its 100% usage and 200-220W using its really bad
