Restict Menu rendering? 4090 24GB @ 97% LOAD - MAIN MENU

[MoistGamer]

Hey all - I saved my game earlier and thought I pressed quit to desktop, but I didnt i press quit to main menu by accident.

So I stepped away from my desk, came back, saw my GPU was at 97% load on the MAIN MENU. Is there any chance we can make whatever's happening on the main menu, stop? There is a background image there that's blurry so I wonder if theres items being rendered in the background? Copious amounts of teeth perhaps?!?!?! (kidding kidding).

The only reason I even noticed this is my corsair cooler has the digital display and I keep CPU load and GPU Load on it. Main menu CPU load = 1% (i9 13000k), Main menu GPU load = 97%.

Sup?

That's normal. Card clocks to the workload, not the other way around. Assuming something is using the card you'd normally expect 90 - 100% utilisation. In fact anything lower than around 85% would usually suggest power supply problems (well, that or you're using something like vsync to effectively throttle the card).

Thank you! I've no problem admitting that even with the top of the line hardware, I have a lot to learn in terms of the desired outcomes and performance. Thanks a lot, appreciate it!

I limit my FPS in Nvidia driver to my monitor refresh rate (165). Problem solved.

V-sync is not really throttling, it just lowers the workload... probably best to use an FPS limiter.

Except what archonsod wrote is complete nonsense. Your card should not be utilized for nothing. Which is exactly what we see in the menu, no visible 3d rendering.
Also fps limiting is a thing because your graphics card should not always render at full power if it is not needed.
And then of course there is badly optimized rendering, which very likely is the case in CS2.

So at the end of the day all these people who say "100% Utilization iz GUD!!11!" don't know what they are talking about. Its a waste of energy and unnecessarily lowers the lifetime of your hardware.

He isn't wrong, there is no FPS limit in the menu, so it's just working as hard as it's designed too.

Optimisation and such is another thing...


You can always get an FPS limiter if it bothers you such, though a limit should have been implemented ingame already.

Thats the point! There should be a fps limit, or even better, no rendering at all, because no 3d scene is shown. How hard can it be to understand that? And no, *i* shouldn't get an fps limiter to compensate for incompetent programming. It's the job of the devs to not waste my energy. Stop spreading this nonsense.

It isn't nonsense though, many games have no limit in the menu, because there wasn't really a need for it most of the time, these days everyone is wanting 150+ FPS, so it matters more.

Yea it should be fixed, but what are you going to do in the meantime? moan & whine about it some more, or get a temporary solution?

I'll leave it at that. You broke logic. No point in taking this further.

Don't berate people for having zero knowledge when you yourself have non.

Now now...

You know there are only three acceptable answers here:

1 - It's a feature
2 - Working as intended
3 - You did something wrong to cause this

It as a byproduct can lower the work load but not always. If you have a high refresh rate montior it isn't going to lower the workload at all.

I always go with Number 1, because it is more positive then saying everything is broken or I've made a mistake, plus it's the first on the list and I'm lazy

Idk why the menu has to be so hard to render, could of just slapped a video in the menu background and call it day. I booted this game up on my GTX1650 laptop, the menu is in single digit fps, it runs the game better than the menu, though after about 20k pop that laptop pretty much isn't playable.
