If you have a Gigabyte RTX 3000 series card and you’re facing gpu overheating issues randomly, that seems to be the only workaround, at least for now. The solution to the problem is either applying a custom fan curve with MSI Afterburner before running a game, thus bypassing the Gigabyte bios fan curve (recommended way), or flashing a compatible BIOS for the same card from another vendor (eg ASUS) on your Gigabyte card (unorthodox way). Gigabyte sadly haven’t released an updated bios version that resolves the fan issues with their RTX 3000 series cards.

So, as it turned out, in our case the issue is related to a fan controller malfunction resulting in the card overheating.Īfter some more digging, we have found that the culprit is most probably the Gigabyte bios for the RTX 3000 series AT LEAST PARTLY, and while the issue seems to trigger as a combinational result of several factors (possibly due to software conflict with some other program, like rgb software, etc), it is most probably related to at least one or more Gigabyte bios versions for the RTX 3000 series cards, as it is known to cause fan issues in some cases, here is a reddit post from 3 years ago for reference: Reddit - Dive into anything We installed the card in a different system to test it further, and the issue didn’t occur on its own, so we tried to replicate the issue artificially by setting the gpu fan manually to run at 41% and voila: The abnormal behavior occurred again!

In plain words, for some unknown reason, even if the card was under full load, the fan controller was acting as if the card was still in idle state, so the fans wouldn’t spin as the temps got higher and higher and the gpu was throttling, decreasing its operating frequency all the way down to just 300MHz, trying to avoid frying itself due to overheating. In fact, as we found out later after testing, the Gigabyte RTX 3080Ti has fans that practically cut off completely at 41% speed. But this time we had one more clue that made everything obvious: the gpu fans were running at just 41%, which is way too low. So, we went in the settings and set the fan speed to be visible in the UI.Ī couple of days later, possibly out of coincidence, the card started exhibiting the same abnormal behavior in other games as well and not just Diablo 4. Then we watched the video again, and noticed that we had forgotten to set MSI Afterburner to display the card’s fan speed while running the game. Another commenter suggested that this might be a fan related issue, but at first we (wrongly) didn’t believe this might be a possible cause. One of the commenters in the comment section suggested that this might be caused due to an overloaded memory rail and even posted a technical video explaining why this might be the case.Īfter the first open beta weekend, we went back to playing various other games, like Hogwarts Legacy for example and the issue didn’t occur since. We had never seen something like that, this just didn’t make sense.
