GPU 99%

Get a better video card.

Might be because you set your video options wrong for that potato you run the game on.

Would help to know your specs and resolution you are running it in. If you have a potatoe pc and expect 4k gaming it will obviously be pushing the gfx card to 99%.

Have you tried putting a framerate limiter on? NVidia for example lets you set a framerate limit per game. This should, in theory, let your card run cooler. No sense pumping out 90 fps if your monitor is running at 60 Hz, for example. VSYNC on will also solve this problem, unless you want to run a framerate less than your refresh rate. I tried limiting to 30, but it just felt too "jerky" at 30 fps. I wish the game had motion blur, then I could run happily run at 30 and keep my computer a bit cooler.

In theory.... I feel like this game hits 99% GPU no matter what I do, even when I limited frames. I didn't check the meter, but my fan ran just as loud and my case got just as hot.

You want your GPU to be running as close to 100% versus having your CPU do the work for graphics, sounds like it's doing it's job. As for how they look for you, probably got all kinds of settings done wrong or you are using an outdated GPU.

Thanks for that. At least someone else seems to have the oppinion that unused resources are wasted resouces. What is so great about a game only using 50% of Memory and 20% of GPU resources? Then you could have spend the money on something else.

But maybe, like the ppl. above in this 'lacking of useful informations' thread mentioned, he only has just 1Gig of shared VRam on a Laptop with 4Gig total ram? Then i could understand the problem ;)

(in my specific case)
Well for instance i setup my settings to use around 60% of my GPU because this game jumps to 80-90% in some zones so i would rather have smooth experience all the time rather than pushing my GPU to max usage. (3440x1440, RX 7900XT)

Sounds like a well balanced system for me. Resources not too high in usage that they will slow down other stuff, but really used for a smooth gaming experience.

I'm of the opinion that a well-written modern game can do both, fully dependent on the settings. So if you're happy with less-than-ultra settings, you can use those to run your GPU cooler (and with less electricity), whereas if you want photo-realistic raytracing at 4K 144 Hz, that ought to push a top-tier GPU pretty hard.

Now one might argue that the best GPU should not actually saturate at 4K 144 Hz, because the best GPU should be able to drive high definition VR, which is way more demanding.

What I think nobody wants is a top-of-the-line GPU saturating at 100% while providing PS4-level graphics. That's just bad coding.

You want your GPU running maxed out when gaming no need to panic
