GPU at 90-100% Usage

[Glühwein]

Any news when this option will be fixed?(Ive tried low and high settings) I am using a RTX2080 and there is no way that my Gpu usage is that high! I really want to play the game again but i wont risk breaking my pc for a game.

If your PC break when playing, the issue is your computer, not the game.
Card at max usage indicates that your GPU is being use, nothing more. GPU are designed for this. GPU are also made to sustain high temps and throttle to not overheat and damage itself, they usually can handle temperature like up to about 85°C

While it's true that 85C won't normally damage a GPU, all that heat getting dumped into the room along with current crazy temperatures is not desirable.

I use a mix of high and low settings and I see GPU usage in the 30 to 40% range. OP, try turning off SSAO and reflections, and lowering the shadow quality.

Edit: and cap fps to a reasonable amount or use vsync

I'm just going to put out here that my opinion of nvidia cards after the 10 series is super low. I know the game is poorly optimized but that card is probably misbehaving. My 980ti is doing laps around my friend's 2070 in Empyrion.

There is a trick some video cards can do to improve performance in empyrion (does not work for my friend, works for me). Assuming your monitor runs at 60fps, try this:

Set frame rate cap at 66
turn vsync off in game
set nvidia vsync settings to "fast" and force enabled
set frame-rate cap when the game is not in focus to 20

this should reduce gpu usage if your drivers are not just malfunctioning because of exploited immigrant labor in software engineering

LOL uh uhh, if your running 720p maybe.

my 4080 OC runs at 91% and 70C at good quality. At 3840x2160 (16:9).
At best settings its not much higher except heat hit around 78C. I just need more cooling is all. But runs fine.

Since this room gets hot I keep settings down so room doesnt become uncomfortable and wife/kids complain lol Other then that isnt a problem.

My graphics are already set to low and my FPS is always limited to 60 in every game i play (I like to save on power consumption). The game runs smooth it really does i jut hate the fact that my GPU is always maxed out and this is the only game that does this, and it only started on 10.1 so my question again is there any news on this fix?

My game setting are generally on low but thank you for letting me know about the 10 series gcards

yeah that's what you'd think but the 980ti is apparently more powerful than the 2070

I believe nvidia is intentionally destroying the performance of the lower priced SKU cards with bad drivers. You're wrong if you think the 2070 outperforms the 980ti

I'm running the game in 1080p and have 3 other monitors active
SSAO and reflections are on

[dragonsphotoworks]

Checking benchmarks I dont see that though.

Now on a couple its close but otherwise 2070 supersedes 980 TI

LOL uh huh, its a conspiracy by nvidia to destroy their own products...... blah blah blah

despite the literally thousands of videos and benchmarks all show the 2070 far superior to the 980ti, their all lying and your the only one telling the truth

HAHAHAHAHA..... ok bruh......

980 TI

2070

Though oddly on the 2070 there is a typo and says 1070.. so might need different spec sheet for that one.

A couple numbers do look better on 980 ti but thats just 2... Cuda cores higher on 980 ti??

Had the same issues here few years ago, i bought this dell gaming pc and turned out ♥♥♥♥, cause only had one little fan in it and kept heating up, then CTDs.

So i build another one from scratch, that dell pc had pretty decent cpu and good video card. Idk if these people understand what gaming rig mean when it come to overheating. Believe most were India employees based on Dell, they will rip you off though.

My dad tryied to help me out when my old game rig went down.. And he went to dell. Guy told him this was a GAMING rig.. And would just need some extra cooling and ram.

First day I had it it over heated doing GOOGLE search! And no not for adult stuff lmao
I use MSI afterburner just to monitor pc stats and it went nutts screaming every time it over heated which was constantly. Litterly gave me head ache.

Now I have a
I9 13900ks
Z790 motherboard forget exact one but its nice.
4080 OC GPU
64G DDR6 7600MHZ? Though registering as 3400MHZ or such so i need contact cyberpower...
M.2 SSD OS drive 2TB
SSD 4TB "forget speeds on both drives"

So ya never trust dell.
EDIT - Forgot to menthion liquid cooling on the CPU. And.. 5-6 fans. And plan to get radiator for GPU soon :-)
