In return, the physical parts wear out much faster and because of that the lifespan of the hardware becomes lower until something breaks. Pushing it to the max for no reason also means that your hardware has to start using cooling and since the framerate is unlimited, it will be at its maximum capabilities and thus needs to maximize its cooling. To name just one example: Cooling, and thus physical parts of your hardware. HOW IN THE WORLD WOULD THAT DAMAGE ANYTHING? It certainly pushes so far that your hardware wears out much faster by making excessive use of its capabilities. Originally posted by Hal-ium:what kind of. Tl dr it won't actually break your card, but the software is already broken anyways so who cares There's also protection against said damage in the drivers, and it's one of the few things that actually works What the dev says is also right, max load is arbitrary and not really based on framerate, and if your card damages itself at max load in one game it'll do that in all games. You're also right that it does waste electrical energy and generate excess heat. I do agree, the windows AMD GPU drivers for the rDNA and Vega cards suck horse johnson. The difference between AMD and Nvidia is that an AMD card at least tells you when it gets hot like that, the Nvidia card made me troubleshoot for more than a week to figure it out because there's no junction sensor. I previously had an Nvidia card with bad mounting pressure for the cooler, so the edge was fine but the middle of the silicon would climb above 100C. 110 degrees may seem high, but it's not actually dangerous. 110 degrees is close to the max temp that the rDNA dies can handle, if they go above 110 they aggressively throttle to reduce temperature. AMD also has a sensor for edge, and it's usually 20+ degrees cooler than TJunction. Nvidia measures by "edge temperature" which is the temp at the edge of the silicon die. Thats just wasted energy ) 110 degrees C is the junction temperature on your card, which only AMD has Nvidia doesn't measure by junction. But your CPU/GPU will calculate 140+ frames/cycles which your screen wont render. There is also no reason for a game to run at 200+ FPS. But you see, stuff like this MIGHT BE harmful. Not only to the GPU, also to sourrounding hardware parts, like RAM in my case.Īnd yes, I will send this piece of garbage back to the vendor. Without the FPS limit (in CoD, Last Epoch, any many others) my card peaks at 110☌ and more. With my 5700XT for example I have to limit the FPS in all my games - the card (or the driver) is insanely bad designed by AMD.
