is this game optimized ?

[hellatze]

and option to reduce graphic ?

[LLiippee]

I don't think it is, I noticed that graphics is non stop highloaded, wheter is nor low or ultra graphics preset.

[Moto_kattie]

we are always working on the optimisation

[Foosball]

Lol no. My CPU usage goes to 100% and my fans go nuts after the 4th wave or so.

[andrew_yak]

look like it mining or idk. There is supersimple graphics and it try to eat my 3090 to 100%

Not sure reducing graphic options does much. The game tries to fry my poor laptop no matter what.
Both it's little CPU and GPU fans go crazy. Temps are fine most of the time for the GPU, but the CPU has spikes up to 90.

AMD Ryzen 7 4800H + GeForce RTX 3060 - High settings on 1920x1080

Hope they keep improving that. There's an inherit expectation when a game comes along with such a low poly style. Putting the GPU on freezer mode while frying the CPU should not be it ^^

GPU is always at 100% regardless of Settings and my pc sounds like a jet engine. No game before has managed to stress my system this much unless I use benchmark tools. GTX 2080

i9-9900ks & 2080 super @1440p gpu fans goes nuts

[hellatze]

this game suspicious. i put on hold for this

[Kamis[Fhtagn]]

Found temp fix i guess. Selecting options to lowest and setting scaling to 0.9 fixed craziness. Didn't tested fully but i'm quite sure that scaling is messing things up.

Anyway with this i was able to play challenges and endless mode without any gpu take offs.

I wouldn't call completely gimping the graphics a "fix"...

Configure your driver properly, this is no ingame issue!

Care to elaborate?
It's not that I don't know how to enforce an FPS cap. It simply doesn't change the behaviour.

[Angantyr]

I configured my fps according to my display in graphic driver's settings. My cpu is at ~30% and my gpu is very quiet so no high load on that either. The game runs on ultra settings. ff7 is far far far more ressource hungry.

i see such threads often. i never have such issues.

I have a 3080 and I don't know what I did with the settings, but it pinned the GPU's needle so to speak putting it at 100% load playing this game. The fans went to max and the card sounded like it was trying to take off lol.

Setting the video options to the generic Ultra settings, the GPU is now at 50%.

I don't know if the game has been updated since August (I'd think using a 2080 super ought to be able to run this game just fine on high at least), but I'd recommend using the base low, med, high, ultra settings vs custom. That fixed the 100% gpu usage for me.
