Fullscreen mode broken 100% GPU usage when fullscreen

[DemonicShadow]

First off what game launches at 4k ultra graphics thats just stupid are they trying to break peoples computers and fry them

second i just installed and launched the game and already found a majior issuie

the game seems to use 100% GPU usage when in full svrreen dose not matter what setting i have and what resolution i run it at luckly it dose not do this in window boarderless

please patch and fix the following things asap as your gonna destry peoples computers

You already made another same thread https://steamcommunity.com/app/879420/discussions/0/1735469327932671062/

I've never had or read about this problem before even with Agony normal, the game launched at reduced resolution 1080 instead of my 1440. I changed it without any problem.

while i don't own the game, the launch at 4k thing? Is not that uncommon.

This happens when the game runs a check with your system specs, as does all games upon first launch to give you the best looks with atleast 30-50FPS it also checks it with its internal specs of what was added by the devs,

Sometimes it goes for the normal, sometimes it goes and gives you the full package. I don't own a 4k monitor, but by default my GPU supports upscaling my resolution up to 4k if i so wish it in games. Ive manually used it on games before and had older games that are on a 'support all' type of setup. When it passes certain checks it gives you max everything on the highest resolution.

Today i launched up Black ops 3, when i first played it on my previous GPU, i could barely run it on 1080 running @ 60% scale on LOW settings for multiplayer due to its weird issues.

It launched on Max settings with 4k as well, menu FPS was less than 35 but ingame i was getting over 100 oddly enough.

Its just the game doing what it does, and auto generating your settings based off your rig. and sometimes this is setup to utitilze 100% of your GPU, your GPU can run at 100% with little worry as long as you don't run it for huge amounts of time and you don't overheat the poor thing.

Nothing is wrong with the game in that regard, they could force it to generate medium or lower settings but come on, who doesn't modify their settings from the start of the game.

All in all, it sounds like your using a Nvidia graphics card (If you arn't can't help ya) and there is something called DSR, or Dynamic super resolution. It allows you to run Resolutions you normally wouldn't beable to run on modern day monitors and TVs that do not go nuts with higher resolutions. You can remove the extra high resolutions in the Nvidia control panel.

*Was checking out the forums to see what ppl thought of the game to see if i should buy it and decided to give ya a hand...*

Yeha idk for now im just running the game in fullscreen window and getting about 30% CPU Usage and 30% GPU usage which is good

But the fullscreen makes my GPU use 100% 24/7 dont know why and dose not do this with any other game

for now i guess ill use fullscreen windowed borderless

You could start to tell what is your video card maybe ?
(and check for drivers updates, just in case)

[Azrael]

I haven't had this issue, playing TITAN X with latest GPU drivers. Besides your GPU using 100% is no big deal, just your CPU shouldn't use that much or risk getting stuck.

This kind of answer : "Hey I don't have FPS issue with my very powerful and expensive video card !".
It doesn't mean there is no optimisation or maybe compatibility issue with the op's video card, computer settings or even third party software, plus it implies he should buy a gold ingot as video card to fix his problem.
Let's wait for his video card type, and further analysis before jumping on disproportionate solution.
I could have myself said that I have no fps issue with my own video card, but it's simply off topic.

What GPU ?

[danygia]

I only play fullscreen I'll try when I'm home.

A GPU is a graphics card and I already told you what one in the post above

And yes all my drivers are up to date

u jelly aren't you, cheapskate ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) That was totally my intention

No kidding, I implied that it's probably a driver issue. Because Agony Unrated is better optimized than the original Agony, where even my glorious, majestic, and totally-you-don't-have-it gold ingot experienced frequent FPS drops :D

I'm not that "fragile", I was just pointing out the fact that your comment doesn't *appeared* this helpful, even if you implied drivers issue (which was not obvious at all). And people bragging with expensive computers on threads like this is pretty recurrent.
Besides, I'd rather considere some optimization "mistakes" on specific computer settings instead of driver bug (I'm guessing op's drivers are up to date, 1080 generation drivers start to be pretty stable).
I'd start by removing Vsync, this option turns to be a common fps drop issue or stuttering in recent "AAA" games. (like No Man's Sky, even if it's some "indy")
But this video charge makes me more thinking about some unrelated software in background that could not like the fullscreen of this game on his rig. Maybe close everything except steam, turn overlay off, and see what's happening. (I don't think it could be involving some anti-virus, but it doesn't hurt to try to turn iy off too)
PS : some other "not so new" options like weapons debris in fallout 4, which still cause CTD with various config, a 2 years old issue still not fixed today, and causing same issue on the newest video cards...

Resolution is also a factor, if you go 4K resolution with Ultra settings, even a TITAN X would struggle with 30 FPS. I wouldn't go for dropping V-Sync because it can make FPS jump around erratically causing even more lag and make screen tearing. With a 144Hz monitor I limit it to 60Hz so tops 60 FPS, pre-render 1 frame on my GPU. Turning on V-Sync will limit FPS to 60. Some people claim better results if using 120Hz setting and use GPU V-Sync with half refresh rate setting, but I never did.

Considering that OP uses a fairly beefy GPU, the GTX1080, it really seemed like a driver issue.

Do you have the latest GPU drivers installed? If you're not sure go to this link, I've pre-selected the correct driver for you based on the specs you posted here:

Or you can fill it out yourself here:

You are right about reso, we could also ask about his monitor refresh, still it costs absolutely nothing to *try* anything you and me told. (this is the basic for any fix, and even report bug for devs)
It's up to op...
