Game using 100% GPU (1060 6GB) - Extremely low frames...

[whatyufaka]

For some reason the game seems to be maxing out my GPU usage, and I am only getting like 20 frames, on high settings, even on low settings the problem persists.
Mind you, I run a GTX 1060 6GB card (EVGA), and an i5 4690K at 3.5GHz.

I used to get beyond 60 frames running on a Phenom II and R9 270...
any ideas?

What's your output resolution and what is Scaling set to in graphics?

I'm getting 50fps pretty solid at 2560x1080 with 200% scaling and most other settings on high or maxed with a 4GB 960.

1920x1080, 300% scaling. Lowered to 100% scaling and it did nothing :/
It's always ran fine in the past, if I remember this proble started a month or two ago and I gave up. Came back now to see if I can fix it :/

Weird. Are you monitoring your GPU clock?

No, I haven't been but i'll open up Precision X and see what it jumps to.

So as soon as I open the game and get in, the clock jumps to the base GPU clock of 1506, and a Memory clock of 4000 something, with all usages going up to nearly 100%. Now, when testing Rainbow Six Siege, that game only puts me at 50-70% usage, with around 1800 GPU clock and the same 4000 something mem clock.

I'm almost convinced it's not a problem on my end, seeing as everything but both trucksim games run perfectly fine. But it could still always be on my end, who knows.

Is this the same OS install you had running the R9 270? Old drivers conflicting? Could try DDU and fresh Nvidia drivers after. Other than that, idk...

Having a similar issue, though I've noticed that the game is causing a pop up looking for AMD drivers, but my GPU drivers are all up to date. Also running 1060 6GB only mine is an ASUS card

ATS have problem with GTX10xx cards. So only what we can do its upgrading your software and waiting for fix issues with gtx10xx.

This is an odd one.

At 1080p you should be able to run in excess of 70fps at 400% scaling on a 1060. Some cities might drop you into the high 50s at worst but anything lower than that is troubling.

As far as GPU usage goes, high is normal for this game.

Get NVidia Inspector and do a search on here for the thread I started several months ago for suggested settings.

I don't think this will be the issue but are there any graphics mods being run? Another possibility I can think of is some mod trucks that are high poly requring more resources.

Very odd, I'd guess that it is related to some mod, too.

The GTX 1060 6GB is easily capable of running ATS in 1080p with 300 % upscaling even with AA activated. There will be drops below 60 fps in cities, but apart from that, GPU load shouldn't exceed 70 % (according to RTSS). Some advice on in-game graphics settings, although you already tried to lower graphics settings: Do not use anything labelled "Ultra", it has only a minor visual impact but a major one on hardware performance.

Next thing: Make sure your GPU driver is on latest version. Check some Nvidia Control Panel settings also: Energy management set to maximum power mode, all CUDA cores enabled, V-Sync either turned off or on but none of the other options (I recommend turning it on to have it enabled globally for all games, while turning it off in any game).

Additionally, check PCIe power settings in Windows' energy plan settings. Just saw that mine are set to medium saving mode, which apparently works fine, however, yours is probably set to maximum saving.

Your problem is VERY weird... You have a much more powerful PC than me...

I'm running with a 4+(nov. '13) years old PC(I built it myself) with:
Windows 10
ASUS Z87-C
I5-4670
8GB DDR3-1699 RAM
120GB_SSD+WD 1TB Black HDD
Gigabytes GTX560 OC 1GB in 1600x900(I don't like playing in Full HD anw) no scaling
on my 42" LED HDTV
all setting to High(who needs ultra on shadows and other useless details)

I keep a solid 60 FPS

You should get ur PC checked in a computer shop(not by one of those "butthe@d"-incompetent-overpricing-for-their-$hlt BestBuy&cie stores), or if you know one, by a real compter technician...

Being a computer tech since '04, I can tell that if you don't know what you do, DON'T DO IT... It's very likely that do more bad than good...

I am running zero mods, I never use ultra in truck sims anyway, almost all damage for no gain. Updated my GPU driver last night, already on maximum power, all cuda cores are enabled, and I have V-Sync set to be on automatically unless I change it in-game. It appears I am on moderate power savings, like you :P Thanks for the advice, though :D

Luckily I know a few people who are certified technicians, first thing I do when I have problems is check with all of them, and neither me or any of them seem to think it's any problem with my hardware, seeing as the computer performs just fine in any other game, program, or process.
Interesting enough, I also used to run a worse PC just fine (AMD Phenom II, and a Sapphire R9 270 Strix). I wonder if it's just the game not being optimized for newer components.

But thanks for the help! :D
