something is EXTREMELY wrong with optimization

[MaikElPipas]

game is taking 99% of my GPU on balanced graphic preset at 1080, which is weird cause at that preset dlss is set at balanced or something like that which is pretty low internal res.

either some massive dlss bug is taking place or the game is just terrible and a potential gpu killer.

The game is trying to give you ALL the frames.... but the refresh is limited to 60.
But you can't lock the framerate to 60. So it's running your card hard for 0 reason. Just bad design.

just lock ur fps in nvidia or amd

100% use of your GPU is perfectly acceptable. In fact, it's desired. It means your GPU is doing the heavy lifting (which it should, vs CPU). The issue to be concerned about is the temp of the GPU. If the temp is too high, that's a problem. Usually it's because of a lack of proper cooling or airflow (perhaps dust).

In short, % use of GPU SHOULD be high and is absolutely ok if it is at 100%. TEMPERATURE on the other hand is what needs to be monitored. Exceeding the limit of the GPU can cause damage or shorten its life.

Turn off VSync. I get 80-90 fps with max graphic settings at 2560x1600. Would get even higher at 1080p.

I capped fps to 60 on nvidia control panel since some people said the devs actually aknowledged that animations and a lot of things in the game are locked to 60fps. The game is 3rd person and I don´t usually notice 60fps as much as in firs person shooters, so I´m ok with that.

That why i´m saying the game has something weird going on, no way a game looking like this capped at 60 fps 1080p dlss on with balanced graphics can take 99% gpu usage.

Indeed I restarted the game and the gpu was around 65%

Theres something fishy going on there.

AMD's fluid motion frame generation might work if it's all 60 fps animations, because it could smooth things out at that ratio...
The problem is when I try to get it working it kinda doesn't like to be stable, you can be smooth for a while then suddenly the whole game hiccups like in Palworld.

Basically it's best if it's built into the game itself, rather than on a driver level.

use DLAA, DLSS is bugged for a lot of people, myself included

the game looks pretty good even on the "balanced" (medium) setting and runs ok tho
