Witcher 3 90 degrees.. help?

Open
GutsRage

So I finally started playing Witcher 3 and the game run fine at 50~55fps, and yet the temperatures of my gpu reaches from 80 up to 90 right after starting the game with an 85 average.

It is the ONLY game that does this, all other games max temps are 50..55. I been googling the problem and found a few people who suffer the same problems with a very high end rig, yet no solution :S
Some say the nvidia drivers solve the problem, but already got my drivers fully updated. I know these video cards are made for take high temps, and I wouldn't mind if is 70..75 max but 80 to 90 is a bit much I think right? specially when is the only fucking game that does this :S
My pc:
i5 2310 | x2 of 4 ddr3 pny | msi gtx 560ti twin frorz iii.

I don't have a SUPER pc, actually pretty old components, but again, game run at solid 50~55fps. Any ideas? Thanks!

my tip: use the program speedfan. It solved all of my problems with overheating. Its a bit complex to set it up the first time, but should really come in handy to all times. just watch a tutorial on youtube and you should be fine:)

I don't know the prgram, but using msi afterburner, fanspeed at 100% when I play witcher (manually)

If the card works what's the problem? It gets hot when playing GPU intensive games. Did you clean your PC? Also you can change the thermal paste or buy a new cooler if you do not like that temp.

it's the ONLY game that does this, yes my case is clean, and yes it has enough airflow, in/outwards. LIke I said I'm aware the video card can take the heat, but much rather find out why is doing this, if I can solve it I really prefer to play it at no more then 70..75c.
Thanks for the suggestions tho.

nothing to worry about, I get 85-90 in demending games as well, if it bothers you the biggest gpu load decrease would be playing in lower resolution

What version are you running? Check if you have the 1.06 patch installed, mostly because of the performance and stability improvements.

Indeed I have that version. It is GOG btw, not steam. I'm giving up already, it seems my video card is not enough for run the game at lower temps, maybe I should've have a 2gb instead of 1gb card. Anyway, thanks.

I wouldn't drop my hopes so early, wait for the new patch, which comes out this week.

you could underclock the gpu clock a bit to lower temps, or decrease the voltage.
