Wow Classic using more GPU / Higher temp on GPU then retail?

So I’m running a 3080 and I’ve found it reaches a higher temperature and Task Manager records higher GPU usage with Classic Wow then I see from Retail wow, both are at the highest settings possible.

I have no idea why it is that way, does anyone have a clue?

Do you have FPS limits set to your display refresh rate?

Yeah no Vsync or FPS limit i guess, so the GPU renders any many frames as the CPU can prepare (which can be triple digits in classic even on max).

You’re going to melt that thing if you don’t cap it in some way, either Vsync or some form of adaptive sync (G-sync/Freesync) + in-game FPS limiting.

You probably bought a 144hz monitor as well, so cap the frames around 144.

People lost GPUs in Starcraft 2’s unlimited FPS menu bug.

That should never even happen if the cooling is working properly.
