CPU load?

[ʋǟɛʟօʀ]

I'm just wondering, is Tavern Master known to be particularly CPU intensive? And if so, is there a reason for it? I've noticed recently that whenever I have the game running on my reasonably mid-high end PC, multitasking is next to impossible, and simple things like having a couple of browser tabs open or switching focus to chat on Discord grind almost completely to a halt. Today I took a look at task manager, and saw that my CPU load is at 100% while Tavern Master is running - even if it's paused and idle in the background. This doesn't happen with any of the other games I play on Steam, even ones I'd expect to be much more resource intensive than TM. Is this a known thing or do I have some weirdness going on here?

This game seems to be more GPU heavy. I played for an hour with HW Moniter up and saw as much as 75% utilization on my 4070 super. My CPU (7800X3D) only saw between 25% and 40% depending on what was happening in game. Barely any RAM usage. I did notice a few hitches where the whole game slowed down and then sped up and the frame rate dropped. Probably is an OPTIMIZATION issue.

You need to set an FPS lock within your GPU PRG.
The game does not let you set FPS, which is bad programming from the DEVS.
If I don't limit my FPS, the GPU goes nuts and gives me more than 1K FPS and a very hot PC.
