Epic Games Store free game
Discussion
Apologies if there is a similar thread already running.
The current free game on Epic Games Store for Windows is Borderlands 3 until 26-May-2022
That's free to keep forever, as if you had purchased it. Which you do, as you "purchase" it for a 100% discount.
Sadly you just missed Prey (2017)

t I don't routinely open it for anything. Easy to forget to check.Anyone else have any GPU issues with Borderlands 3, I had it on ultra settings as I always start with, unlimited frames and it was pushing my GPU to 77 degrees (I rarely see above 70 on anything even 3dMark benchmarking) I used Geforce experience to see what it suggested and it turned a few things down a notch but then turned my display up to 4k, I use a 1440p monitor and it often suggests that. But 4k is more power, but doing that along with limiting frames to 60fps brought gpu temps down to the high 50s. If I turn frame limit up a notch to 120 it goes into the 60s and setting it to my monitor refresh rate of 165 (or unlimited) it goes crazy again. I wasn't able to see what GPU utilisation was at 77 degrees but I'm guessing 99-100%.
GPU RTX 3080.

Can't help there, I'm afraid. But my overclocked GTX 1080Ti is running at a rather toasty 84°C driving a 3440x1440 screen with everything on ultra. Frankly I'm quite impressed that it's managing that!GPU RTX 3080.
What frame rate is it set at in the game settings, if it's unlimited try dropping it and see if the temps go down, IIRC 84 is thermal throttling territory for the 1080 Ti.
Ps. My requirement is for it to be as quiet as possible and so I like to keep things below 70.
Thought too, maybe it's DX12 mode, I'll try DX11 tonight, I know some games have screwy moments between the two (MSFS 2020 for example)

Thanks for the info. Capping the FPS to 60 and lowering a few non-essentials like Volumetric Fog have brought temperatures down a little. Only to 83 C at the hottest but sometimes falling below that into the high 70's.Ps. My requirement is for it to be as quiet as possible and so I like to keep things below 70.

Anyway, since a dedicated Borderlands 3 thread exists, it's probably best to take any further discussion there.

Bioshock Trilogy today. 1 & 2 Remastered versions + Infinite (includes Burial at Sea DLC Ep1 & 2 and Clash in the Clouds DLC)
Awesome. Well worth having if you haven't already. Sadly for me, I own all of them already on Steam. I may as well pick them up on Epic too though just as a backup, just like I did with Prey.

Nice, I always forget to check.
I completed Bioshock and Infinite but not 2 for some reason and I usually don't bother with DLC as I'm usually bored by that point and move on.
Another mystery game next week as well.
The Burial at Sea DLCs for Infinite are absolutely worth doing, especially part 2. They lead up to the events of Bioshock 1 and also let you experience Rapture before the fall. They are really worth it. I completed Bioshock and Infinite but not 2 for some reason and I usually don't bother with DLC as I'm usually bored by that point and move on.

Yeah, I had heard they are good but could never quite bring myself to pay for them.Gassing Station | Video Games | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
