High GPU use is back

[CoolHandLuke]

EDIT - I give up - answer chosen - Half are aware of a problem & half are not, so the post was a waste of time.
-----

I'm sure the high GPU use & high temps was solved a month or so ago, but after update 6, I see that my GPU is running at max again at all times while in game. It was not doing this last month. Has anyone else noticed this?
I'm not inclined to used MSFS at all if it's going to be so hard on my GPU.

It's an RTX2080Ti, and yes, I know 83 degrees is still 'acceptable', but I am sure it was not running constantly at almost 100% last time I entered MSFS a month ago.

I overclock my nvidia card and up the voltage. been doing that for over a year and did that on my old 1080TI forever. never been a problem. I do use after burner and I run my GPU fans at 70%. many times during the sim my GPU load will be at 100% and other times its 60. no idea why, but video cards are made to work hard.

You GPU usage people literally have no idea what you are talking about. Just stop already. I have responded to your threads before.

Final verdict: You don't understand what is going on.

Well, I have a response:

After every major update, did you clean out your Community Folder (rename it or remove your mods), empty your cache, and most importantly go through all of your game settings to make sure they are the same as before?

Without doing these things, you will get unpredictable results. Once you stabilize your sim, you can return the stuff that was in your Community Folder.

The infamous Community Folder. Now also known to overheat the GPU.

It is abnormal for a GPU to run at 100% all the time. This is hardly a sign of optimization. Someone who thinks that has probably never used a stress test before (which, unlike any game, does run at 100% all the time), and heard the difference in fan noise.

Thank you.
But now I think it is time to give up on this and let the ignorant quips continue if they want. I wish I had never posted this.

Indeed. This forum is a cesspool of retarded know-it-alls, and you have to be ready for it before you walk in.

Using gpu by 100% is good which means the game is well optimized for gpu. So compalining about something which works as intended seems odd.
If it's using 100% gpu in menus, you know the frame limiter and vsync is a thing right?

[CobraA1]

High GPU use generally means VSYNC is off or your monitor has a variable refresh technology. Basically the GPU is rendering the next frame as soon as the previous frame is finished, so there's no down time.

If GPU is pegged at 100% with VSYNC on and no variable refresh, then you're at high risk of dropping frames as the GPU is taking the entire frame to render and won't be able to handle more demanding frames - and frame render time is highly variable in MSFS. You want some down time when VSYNC is on for a smooth experience.

It is not abnormal in all cases. You don't know what you are talking about. What do you want the numbers to be? What should they be? And how are you arriving at these magic values?

In other words what numbers would you prefer to see to stop making such dumb threads? I've seen posts about, wait for it, low GPU usage as well. Like SMH. RTFM. PEBKAC.

Probably Mining for some employee during Menus. Never seen a Menu so fast and need more power than the Game ever before.

I just installing this game, and install menu using GPU on maximum. Installing over 10 hours because instalator download speed is only 2.3 MBit/s, but I have optical internet pretty fast.
This is insane.

Look in experimental options for low power mode. turn it on.

There you see how easy it is

100% GPU usage is a dream! This is the absolute most perfect thing you can have. This shows that the GPU can work without a bottleneck and can convert all performance into FPS.

Your graphics card temperatures are within the normal range for air cooling. If you want them to be cooler, you should optimize your case cooling or better convert it to water cooling. Back when I had a 2080ti, I had the same temperatures with air cooling. With water cooling I had about 58-64 degrees. That's a huge difference.

You're speaking to a over 2 year old post. The OP has probably left our solar system and returned to the planet Zegnar at this point :)
