GPU in game usage very low, causes game to be locked at 30fps on high end systems.
Processor : AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-Core Processor @3.70 GHz
Installed RAM : 32.0 GB @3600mhz
System type : 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Video : RTX 3070 & RX 6800 (latest drivers)

4k, all graphics setting maxed.

In game GPU usage showing about 40-60% at 30-45 fps.
But sometimes the GPU usage goes up to 75-85% and the fps stays at 58-60fps. (my max screen is 60, so it would probably go higher)

Definitely a bug. I can watch my FPS drop when the GPU usage lowers, and it lowers randomly & constantly, at least 90% of the time its not using over 50% of my GPU, causing the game to sit at around 30fps.

My GPU running all the Time between 80 - 90% , highest in the Main Menue, never see so a ♥♥♥♥. GPU Degrees goes up to 80,only 5 min in the Game. CPU is running fine but the GPU Problem is too much and i will make a Refund.

A real shame but i dont need a Game which my graphics card is cooking. Maybe i giv it later a new Chance.

Same, it's not utilizing my hardware very well at all. I can switch between 1080p and 1440p and the FPS doesn't change at all. I assumed it might be CPU bound only using a single core but none of them are really maxed out, and my GPU only stays around 70%-80%. I use a 3900x and that's seems like it'd be plenty for this game since I'm only early game and not much is going on nearby. I've got a 980 Ti so I thought that'd be the bottleneck when I bought this but I'm not sure now.

nvidia vsync needs to be set to fast with fps capped to 60 to fix this i found out.
both can be done from the nvidia control panel

I have a similar issue, I have a Ryzen 6 3600 as well (and also an RTX2060 SUPER) and my GPU temps just spike through the roof - literally crashing, lower all graphic settings and had to take the side panel off my PC (and overclock my fans) and it still overheats and crashes sometimes...

I've tried updating drivers, I'm at a loss because this rig can handle MUCH MORE graphically intensive games (like Destiny on High settings with 60fps lock) and not spike like crazy....

Launch this game watch GPU temp jump from a low 26-32 all the way to 66-72

Dont open your Side Panel, if you do this, you destroy the Airflow in your Case. Btw, you mean a Ryzen 5 3600 like me , a Ryzen 6 3600 dont exist :steammocking:

So i try this...reduce the Shadows to low, disable Motion Blur, disable Dynamic Lights and reduce the Rendering Resolution to 80 % and its help a little bit.
Degrees of my Graka now at 62-67 thats more than 10 Degrees lower. Try it your self, hope its working for you.

The Dev Team must defently working on this Problem but i dont think they will do it.

I will try this. Have the Game put into the Global List from Nvidia Sys Panel and set Vsync to fast.
