To players seeing CPU/GPU spikes

[76561199166915563]

Hi everyone, just a quick set of questions from the team:

Those of you who have reported CPU/GPU spikes and overheating, we'd like to know the following:

a) What CPU and GPU types (i7, Nvidia 2080ti, etc) do you use?
b) Do you have the VSync option turned on or off in the settings?
c) Does turning on VSync improve things for you?

Thanks for your input and time!

Hello, i did not previously report these type of issues but i did encounter them, lastly i was unable to play book of travels because of cpu/gpu spikes and overheating.
To answer the questions :
a) i'm not sure what types of cpu/gpu mine correspond to, so i'll just tell you the complete name of each, i hope that's okay. My CPU is a AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and my GPU is a Nvidia Geforce RTX 3080 (not much of tech person, if you need more info feel free to ask and i'll find a way to figure it out)
b) I had the Vsync option turned off in the settings when i was experiencing thoses issues
c) Turning VSync on did actually improve things quite a bit, cpu and gpu usage went down a fair amount and i don't have overheating issues anymore :D
Glad i came across this post and can now play BoT in optimal conditions again :D Praise to you and the team

a) i5-4590 & Geforce GTX 970
b) VSync wast turned off in settings, my GPU was constantly at 100% usage in task manager
c)after turning on vsync it's much better, between 30-60%
CPU is betwen 80&100%, temps for gpu say its 80-85 degrees celsius, still kind of borderline

c) I always turn off vsync on every game I play, can't say

- i7 4790
- geforce gtx760
- with v sync off gpu usage is at 98-100%, turning it on lowers the value to 90 - 95 %

- i7 11700KF
- Geforce RTX 2070Super
- With vsync on gpu usage 40%max 57-59oC, without vsync temperature going to 70-72oC.
