How do i fix Menu running my gpu up to 100% without lowering fps

[brighteye]

Whenever im in the menu i get 100% gpu load and way hotter temps than usual. When my gpus on max load i normally get around 77 degrees Celsius, at the absolute max but when im on the menu i get 84 and fans go to 100%. does anyone know how to fix it?

100% GPU usage is normal.
You can either cap the frame rate, and raise the fan speed of your GPU.

I shouldn’t be getting max temps while on a menu with a 4070ti no other game does this

have you tried dragon's dogma 2 yet? given its also a re game- it too runs max temp in menu. i think all re games do this.
cap your fps to 141 or 2 below your monitor hz. if you monitor hz is 200+ still cap to 144 at least.
i suggest using afterburner with rtss to do this, so you can use nvidia reflex to do it.
best way to reduce temps and keep input delay at a minimum.

Set power to best performance and set GPU to Turbo mode.

Capcom hasn't made a big effort to make the menu as resource-efficient as possible. You can also see this from time to time in some other games.. XCOM2 would be one of these with around 240W power usage in the menu and 130-180W during gameplay. (In the past, they paid particular attention to this, as you can often be AFK in the menu for long periods of time. Today, the gameplay sometimes requires less performance than the menu. As sad as it sounds, big companies prefer eye-catchers these days. They might think that something like this can replace a benchmark, because if the menu stutters, the rest could stutters too. /s)

In the case of RE4, however, I can tell you that the background of the main menu changes as the game progresses. In the second menu background, you see the village during the day, which causes slightly less load than the first (darker) background.

limit your FPS to whatever your refresh rate is. that's what i do for 99% of games.

FPS in the menu can get extremely high. That's the reason for the high usage. As everyone else here said already, limit them to a sensible value.

Alsways remember that 95% of the population do not really know anything about computers and hardware, and that the reasons for specific issues are often quite logical and easy to explain or fix.

DEVs being lazy in terms of optimization CAN often be the case as well, but here the reasons are different.
