RTX 2080 Ti goes to almost 100% GPU

It does not matter at all, even if I choose the lowest graphics settings in the game.
And I'm not even using the 3D part, because you are always too busy managing all the airplanes on all the 2D screens.
So the GPU is using 100% for showing some simple 2D screens.
I've requested a refund.
I will continue playing their previous version. It was a lot better.

same with 3060

This game doesn't cap its framerate and also doesn't have vsync for some reason, so it will always try to achieve the maximum possible FPS, maxing out your GPU in the process.

Just open the Nvidia system settings, go to Manage 3D settings > Program Settings, select/add the Tower! Simulator 3.exe and set the Max Frame Rate to whatever suits your monitor. Alternatively, you can also enable vsync in the same menu if you encounter screen tearing. Either way, your GPU will thank you.

Indeed that will probably work. I realized that some time after I got my refund.
But I decided the game was not good enough to buy it again.
I don't like the look and feel and howto move around/resize the screens across multiple monitors etc..
Also the "walking around" in the control tower has ZERO added value...
When you are controlling many airplanes there really is no time at all to walk around...

Oh, most definitely. I was a bit taken aback when I first opened the game and didn't see any options for vsync or anti-aliasing, because the game needs both of those real bad. While I applied them through the Nvidia settings, like you said, we shouldn't have to do that for a game released in 2022. I've only ever used those system settings for much older games before.

Yeah, I'm not too big on the 3D Tower environment either, mostly because the tower screens are extremely blurry when you're not fully zoomed in on them. I just use the classic outside cam with 2D screens, although that's a bit difficult at times since I only have a single monitor.

After I got everything to work decently well, which in my case luckily didn't take much effort, I'm having a pretty good time with it. Voice recognition works well for me and if I don't like something there's quite a few config files to play with.
But for the price point, especially if you also want real planes and airlines, and with all the little bugs and issues it's hard to recommend unless you're really into ATC.
