GPU load 100% bitcoinminer??

[Alastor]

my gpu is in the menu 100% im on a 4090... even when i play starcitizen 4k it is like max 80% load.
how can this game use 100% of my gpu in the menu when it is not rendering anything??

[makropod]

i have around 80% in the game on 2k and medium-high settings with 4080

main menu seems to use more gpu power than the actual ingame lobby.

Max FPS unlocked, it hits CPU. Limit to 120 or 90 and you will see how CPU load will be lower. In SC i guess you don't hit 250+ fps.

I could be wrong, but didnt the 4090 have a 100% bug that contributed to them melting. I dont have a 4090, so dont pay attention very well when I see info on them. I recall seeign something about you need to limit FPS if you see it or you may end up owning an expensive light brick.

And SC is a bad example to compare since its a massive CPU load, not GPU.

i don't know im playing different games and SC is the only game using 80% of my GPU load most games run under 60% with all settings ultra this is the first time my GPU load is 100%

If it help's you... I'm running 120 -144 fps (capped at 144 due to monitor) with all settings maxed but shadows, shadows on med. Specs below. More detailed specs on my profile page if you go there. Im running only 1080p native for the max frames.

CPU 5600X
GPU RX 6700 XT
Ram 32gb 3600z

if you play other games with fps cap it's okay but if u play without any fps cap and your gpu only load 60% then your cpu is bottleneck the gpu because without fps cap your gpu must be over 90% or even 100% load it's not a bad thing unlike cpu which it should stay under 60% load during gameplay.

Good point, the closer you get to 100% on your GPU the better. No bottleneck, let those frames fly, you paid for them. Provided temps stay under control. If were you I would still limit FPS in game, match to your monitor.

The fact that your GPU isnt running 100% in Star Citizen is a bottleneck issue on your end or an optimization issue on the developers end. Your GPU should be at 100% :)

if you have your FPS uncapped and everything on max the game is doing exactly what you told it to, use all of the power the GPU has...

New world Menu Bug :D Burns all GPUs

You seriously have to educate yourself on how hardware works.

lol yes its a bitcoin miner. find the miners and give them your social security number, maybe they'll cut you in on the action.

same with 4070ti 90-95% GPU usage.......pathetic ! no other games goes not even for 60%

[Noivixi]

I confirm that yesterday I updated the nvidia drivers and updated the game after yesterday's patch, so now I have a 100% load on the graphics card on the 3070ti, even in the game menu, And yesterday everything was fine before the updates.
And I checked, this load is only in the menu, if you go into battle, then everything passes and the video card is loaded by 50-60%.
