Graphics Card Maxing Out

[Gokuofuin]

Anyone else have their graphics card going full nuke when playing? I have a RTX2060 and even on medium my card goes nuke when this game starts. (no lag or anything even on high, just the card going nuke) I have good cooling in my room and ventilation has never been an issue before on any other titles (cough ark cough)

Try limiting your frames from the options menu

I capped mine already to 60 fps cus I thought that would help but it has not (after restarting the game of course)

So Im on a RTX 3080 and I have turned off motion blur, limited my FPS to 90, Vsync is off, effects and textures are at high, view distance is on epic (turn it down to high or medium and see what happens), grass details to medium and I have DLSS on performance right now. I think I clocked in 63 celcius and GPU usage peaked at 49% with those settings. I dont know if its any help or not.

I figured it out, its because in fullscreen mode its running at the screens native res, which for me is 4K, so that is what was doing it. Since the game doesnt have a full screen windowed mode that means I cannot really play it atm without turning down my system res before launching the game.

Sounds like an uncapped framerate issue.

Sometimes certain game settings don't actually take effect till the game has fully loaded, so you may still have a brief period where the game is trying to push 1,000 fps before the cap gets applied.

I set a global framerate cap in Nvidia's control panel to my monitor's refresh rate. Though you could also do one that's application specific to limit Palworld to 60fps. That might fix your issue.

4k explains it. esp with maxed settings

4k on a 2060 its a budget 1080p card... what kind of crack are you smoking

It does have a fullscreen windowed mode though, at least for me and I've seen streamers do it. If you switch to window mode its borderless window it just doesn't specifically say that.

Actually I can run cyberpunk2077 on 4K on this card, so not sure what you are on about, but then again I mean you probably don't know the first thing about graphics cards so there is that.

Na it doesn't. Its windowed mode only, because if you put the res at lower than your desktop res then it will be in a tiny window, hence windowed mode. Fullscreen windowed mode will change the whole res of the desktop when you open the game to match whatever res you run the game in.

But I fixed it by just running my desktop in 1080 and then the game in fullscreen mode. No problems now even on highest everything.

I play this on my asus zepherus GA502DU with a nvidia GTX 1660-to (with max q) laptop hooked up to a64 inch flat screen. Originally I was getting 12-19 fps with lowest settings and nothing I changed helped. Then I reduced my displays resolution from 3840 by 2160, True Color (32 bit), 60 Hertz to 2560 by 1440 60 Hertz and I can consistently get an average of 40 fps with all setting on epic except motion blur cuz screw that noise. Hope this helps anyone trying to squeeze out a little more performance.
