Can you please optimize the graphics, My GTX 1650 is heating up like crazy to 80 degree Celsius on lowest setting.
80°C isnât âlike crazyâ, especially not for a low-end card. Thatâs a fairly common temperature for a graphics card in an 3D environment (video game). If it reaches 100°C+ and doesnât clock itself down at the same time, then you should start to worry.
Besides, if you havenât already, limit your framerate. That should bring down the temperature and power consumption in scenarios where thereâs not a lot of complex geometry and effects to render.

80c is a completely safe temperature for your GPU. IIRC the TJMax (the point which it actually is too hot) for Turing based GPUs is like 110c. If it were to get that hot itâs a problem with your card and/or case air flow, not the game.
But to address your other point, it is a graphically intense game and I think thatâs a good thing. Itâs a very good looking game and itâs probably one of the best looking ARPGs Iâve played besides Diablo 4, and Iâm glad the genre is moving forward graphically. There is always room for code optimizations but on the other hand you need to accept that the Turing architecture released in 2018, half a decade ago, and if you want to play brand new games at high settings youâre going to have to upgrade at some point rather than relying on developers to ensure their code runs very well on entry level hardware from last decade.

Is 80 degrees a safe temp, at 85 the game starts to lag a little at 1366*768 res at low settings. I toned down my processer(i5 10300H) power to 80% still temp is like 70 degrees on my laptop. Air that comes out my laptops vent is hellish hot. The air velocity is very high.
I didnât know you were on a laptop. It makes sense the air from your laptop is going to very hot because itâs heat sink is likely shared by both your GPU and CPU, which is also why youâre seeing higher temps because technically the CPU and GPU are heating each other up because they are connected to same hunk of metal.
Make sure your laptop has at least 1 or 2 inches of clearance around itâs air intake to make sure itâs getting as much air as it can, that should help. You are likely getting slow downs because you are power or thermal throttling, in many cases the power budget of a laptop is also shared by the CPU and GPU, like the heatsink so I would keep dropping the power allocation on your CPU until it hits ~85% utilization that way you are affording the most power and thermal headroom to your GPU as you can. You can also try undervolting your GPU and CPU if your laptop will allow it in order to claw back as many resources as possible. But unfortunately laptops are just inherently kind of limited and you donât have as much wiggle room.
PS. Also if your laptop is several years old and you are confident in your disassembly skills you could reapply new thermal paste as it could also help shave a couple degrees off your temps.

And remove dust. On my desktop the heatsinks/fans get nasty duaty after a few years and when theyâve been cleaned out the fan noise (& therefore speed) drops quite a bit.

I am not much of a disassembler, I tinker around with default system software. I have seen that 80% power is quite good, but the fan velocity increases quite a bit. So are you saying I should keep it at 85% power.
Have a read of this What is a Normal GPU Temp While Gaming? - Electronics Hub
However anyone who thinks the game is optimised also needs to find a dark room and sit in it for a while.

So its telling 80 to 85 is normal. Path of exile I faced similar problem, but game by itself is very tough to play especially the skill tree so I left it.
My GPU was pegged until I capped my FPS to 50. All of the other settings are still maxed. None of the other configuration settings had much affect as that one. To be honest I really couldnât tell the difference either. So if you havenât tried capping your FPS, thatâs what I would do.

Will try and see
Pull up the task manager and view the performance tab. Then keep lowering the FPS cap until you start to see GPU usage drop. Hopefully it will be at a point the the FPS is still acceptable for play. Good Luck
