    GPU overheating after last update

    My GPU is getting up to 84ºC when playing for Honor for like 15 minutes, it gets to that temp even on the loading match screen. This didn't happen before, and it also doesn't happen when paying more demanding games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla, it stay 70º+.
    Anyone else noticing this?

    Hey DSD27, this is very odd that you are only seeing this when For Honor. Have you checked to see if there is any driver update available? I would also suggest going through our PC Troubleshooting Steps to help remedy this issue. If you have exhausted all steps here, could you please create a support ticket here with your MSINFO & DxDiag attached so we can take a closer look into what might be causing the change in playing For Honor?

    It was due to the high framerate. I was playing at 130 fps on my new 165Hz monitor.
    I've set refresh rate cap to 100Hz and now I get normal temps around 78ºC max. I guess this game is just too power hungry to play at such high framerates. 84ºC is considered safe, but I don't like it.
