I know this has probably been brought up before but I was wondering if someone could help me since my computers kinda broken and I'd like someone to explain something to me.
(Also I know this has probably been referred to, but hear me out)
My computer has always had issues (since I first got it) it may run a game really well but then it runs a game to me which seems to be simpler slower etc.
With The Sims 4 I used to play with Ultra settings, it always ran fine, however it would sometimes black screen, I was led to believe this was an issue with the motherboard however.
But anyway, I later because the black screening still worried me decided to tune down my settings to laptop mode and my lighting to simply "high".
Later I got my graphics card "fixed", a friend of mine gave me a new one of the same kind.
So I started playing the Sims 4 again, I ran it in laptop mode again, of course the visuals are kinda worse, so I tried running the game back to ultra without laptop mode and with lighting on high simply. The game made my computer make lots of noise (especially on the main menu) but I think the temperatures were normal.
I later tried enabling "Uncompressed Sims textures", this made my computer stop making so much noise which has gotten me worried as to how I should play the game graphically because I don't really understand what's going on with my computer, the main menu shouldn't be making my computer make so much noise and uncompressed textures should make it make more noise, I think the temperatures may be higher with it on though.
So I'm just confused, I was wondering if anyone could give me some insight as to how I should run my game because I've dreaded to play because of these issues, I can run the game completely smoothly with any settings however.
If anyone could inform me so I'm not harming my computer etc and understand why its doing this help would be appreciated because my computer has reaction really weirdly to some games.
My specs: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690 CPU @ 3.50GHz 3.50GHz

Graphics Card: AMD Radeon R9 200 Series
I'm not sure if that's all I need to say for the specs of if I even have the right information...

I checked the game with uncompressed textures again and my computer gets way less hot with it enabled, at least not as fast as with it disabled.

Have you tried visiting the AMD website and searching for a current driver?
Have you verified that your video card and CPU are receiving sufficient air flow?
You should monitor your CPU and GPU temperatures with an application such as "SpeedFan"
MSI's Afterburner is better.
https://gaming.msi.com/features/afterburner
Regardless, only a few minutes of raw data is needed... and the problem is likely CPU overheat.
afterburner not accurate for a lot of people this would be better http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html
Sorry.
Agree.. hwmonitor is good. Never have any issues with it.
16GB hyper X fury
MSI GTX 1080
MSI gaming M5 mobo
Evga 750 supernova
Corsair hydro h110i GT
Corsair obsidian 750D
500GB SSD
6TB Seagate Barracuda Pro
LG 34" ultra wide
As for temps etc, I just tested the game with this.
My graphical settings this time was:
Everything Max, Lighting set at high instead of the better, Uncompressed textures disabled
Also on the recent run I have had a graphic mod enabled: The No blue darkness and No blue glow mod which can be found here: https: //lumialoversims.tumblr.com/tagged/sims-4-mod (remove spaces)
I zoomed out to see a lot of the neighbourhood and then set triple speed on, the computer this time did not react as badly, I DID however update my drivers after for this test.
But the case is its not the first time the computer has accepted something well and then later changes completely!
But anyway with this test I managed to get the following temperature information with HWMonitor (Sorry if its not proper, I'm new to it)
CPU: Max = 70c/158F
Min = 43c/109F
Value 68c/154F
But I couldn't get anything for the GPU? Is there more I should post?
Also from hardware if someone could give me recommended graphic settings would be nice.
But before I use them I would like diagnose what's wrong if possible first, because sometimes it gets really hectic and it just freaks me out.
To get the GPU, you have to open your game first and then hit your Windows's key on your keyboard to go to your desktop, then you open HWmonitor. When you scroll down a bit, you will see your GPU stats there. Then just go back to your game and play around for a bit.
I'm not too sure how to recommend settings for you cuz I'm not very good with AMD cards. XD Maybe someone else can help. That being said, I think it would be good if you check your temps as well and do some comparison and some fan noise comparisons. Technically, your computer should do less with uncompressed textures turned off so I don't know what's happening here.
Hey @SimlishPopstar, the GPU reading should be right below the CPU. It may also read the card as amd 7000 series
If you have no GPU reading can you confirm for me that the monitor is plugged into the card and not the motherboard
Next, can you confirm your new drivers are installed and that you have Crimson control panel - this is the app where you control the card settings
Also when was the last time you cleaned the tower of dust, dust build up clogs fans thus making hardware run hotter
I can walk you through all of this, my first impression you may have just have setting issues
Like in the game after cleaning tower of dust, checking drivers are installed go and turn on vsync save and exit game and try again
The max was 67c if I got it correctly.
@ceejay402 what do you mean where the monitor is plugged in to? this is new to me completely!
I have got the new drivers I think now! Also I don't have the crimson control panel, I have the Amd catalyst control center but im not sure if its the same thing?
vsync is always enabled for me (also for tower of dust any tips for going about it?)
@DeKay thanks for the info!
Ok good the temps for the gpu was that while in the game? If so not bad.
How to clean tower http://m.wikihow.com/Clean-the-Inside-of-a-Computer
See if cleaning helps also test vsync is on in ccc. http://www.tweakguides.com/ATICAT_8.html
Though if you have r9 200 with the latest drivers installed than it should be crimson control. Can you confirm you uninstalled prior drivers
Regarding where the monitor is plugge - if you had plugged into the motherboard connection at tower that may have explained why you didn't have gpu reading.
