The game doesn't use the GPU at all - 0%
I have RTX 3070 and Ryzen 5700x. I was surprised why I have 15 fps, after which I opened the Task Manager and found that the ArcAscended.exe process is using 0% GPU and 50% CPU. I think this is the main reason for low FPS among players. If anyone knows how to force the game to use a video card, please write about it in the comments.

Could...... you post a screenshot of that, perhaps? That's nuts.

Yes It's an easy fix:

1. Open the games receipt page in steam.
2. Click refund.

Hope this helps.

in Nvidia control p[anel you should have the option to set the gpu as default. It may be set to cpu if thats the case.

Dont use task manager to see if its using GPU or not, that does not always show correctly. MSI afterburner shows mine is being used 98%.

lol, thanks, I corrected the topic header

Your cpu does not have integrated graphics. If you see an image it's working. As others said, try something like Afterburner

Im having the same problem but i use nzxt cam to see specs the reason i know its a problem is because my old rtx 3050 has better fps then my rtx 3060 ti, have you found any fix?

Did you clean your driver and do a fresh driver install with your GPU change?
