Long ago someone did tests on this. ESO runs hotter than average. I would look at forum records to find it

Sorry, I caught wrong option: 40-50 for me. My best friend is my water cooling...

Until some time ago, I had a big issue with this, and it ran up to 96.8 Even in the login screen it'd heat up to 90 degrees. Which was really weird to me. Capping the fps to 144 - my screens max - with the addon advanced game settings (big thanks to the maker btw), helped a bit on the login screen temperature. But GPU temperature was still about 92 while playing, which is still too hot if you want your GPU to last. I then installed some more case fans, without it helping more than a few degrees. It was also worth noting that my cpu has one of the best coolers, and did not get above 50 while the gpu ran at 90 degrees.
Next in line I figured that the fan curve on my gpu wasn't steep enough. But adjusting it didn't help. Then I found out that the program responsible for the adjusted fan curve didn't start automatically (unlike the cpu one which is adjusted in bios). Making the program controlling gpu fans start with the computer, meant that the gpu fans finally started doing their job proper, and that helped another few degrees.
But, the real problem was finally found when I opened up my graphics card to take a look at whether the cooling paste was properly distributed. It was not, and when I saw the job some moron had done on my poor gpu, it was my face that got a steep temperature increase. Msi, who made the card (msi gainward geforce rtx 2080 triple 8gb gddr6 ) have done a disgraceful job on applying cooling paste. There was too much smeared in a lot of places where there should be none, and little to nothing where it should actually be. So two hours of careful cleaning, reapplying properly and reassembly, and it suddenly ran eso at 60 degrees, with every setting completely maxed, while running a movie on my secondary monitor. - whew!

Also I hope this essay can inspire someone who also has gpu temperature issues to take measures to help alleviate the problem. If needed I can write a less angry guide in bulletpoints to make it more accessible than above.

When I checked recently it was between 40 and 50.

sapphire nitro+ rx 5700 xt i play in 2k

Got my new card, sapphire nitro+ rx 6700 xt (2k) 40-50 C

It stays around 50 at minimum graphics, up to 70 with ultra,

50-60 BUT, there are some instances where it rises to mid-70's - often in areas with multiple players ( 4+ ) and many special effects occurring. Vet dungeons , any trials are a hardware safety concern.

Also, sometimes just standing in a location may cause a steady rise in temp for no apparent reason other than bad coding

70+ is troublesome, registers as RED on my Speccy display

1660 Ti pleb here, have all effects disabled and textures on medium do I can log asap on each of my 5 accounts. Still take 45 min or so to collect daily rewards on both megaservers, without even doing anything.

If I recall right. It's mostly laptop's running hot in last posting about this.

Someone noticed ESO compared to other games was giving off more heat.

I know ESO for me ran at 89 before I got a cooling fan. I also replaced the thermal paste for more popular gaming paste

My thoughts are game heats up over time. More data is needed though

I lock my FPS to 30. I'd rather have a quiet system than extra and rather surplus fps for ESO.

Just nudges 60 at a dolmen. Probably time for the annual Spring clean/dust removal.

Thermal paste should be replaced too every 2 to 5 years, depending if you bought it or was manufacture one.

Well, idk how hot my cpu or gpu are, but if i don't use vsync there's a chance i'll bluescreen on eso.

Low 70s, but I use the raytracing shader. I drop to the high 40s if I toggle it off.

Why? I don't understand how that's possible.
