I’ve got a RTX 2080 and whether it’s at high or medium graphics settings it’s running my GPU at 100%. Native resolution is 4k 60fps. Tried scaling to 90% on medium settings and still 100%. I’m not burning up my card to test this game. Is there a frame limiter option?
Your graphics card should always be at 99 or 100% if its being utilised properly. Thats a good thing especially at 4k

sadly im on a 6900xt seeing 60-50% usage on both cpu and gpu with horrible stutters and sub 60fps

Yeah I’m on a 1070 and a 2700x at 1440p and usually gets a max of 70-80%. Seems most peoples cards are well underutilised. Strangely though my CPU can get up to 50% which i’ve never seen on other games usually

My guess is the CPU utilization has to do with it being bot matches. Historically bot games will use a lot more on the CPU side. I can imagine they’re having the server side run the bots.
You aren’t ‘burning’ your card by running it at 100%, they are designed to be utilised fully and run as hard as possible. Unless you don’t want higher fps than your monitor. This game has framerate cap options in the video options. If you were to lower the resolution it would still utilise as much gpu in a gpu bound scenario because it would just run at a higher framerate. This still isn’t an issue.
Personally I’m having issues with massively underutilised gpu. Usually around 15% of my 3080, and its running pretty abysmally in terms of frametimes/stuttering. Still getting 70-80fps (which is pretty low for what I’d expect of this game), but it just feels awful, feels like 30-40.

That’s what you want. You’re one of the few lucky players who isn’t stuck at 40% GPU utilization on this unoptimized build of the game.

I’m going to try to be nice and I’m not just singling your comments out, as others feel the same way. I’ve been using and working on PC’s since the 8088/86 CPU and MF HDD days. Heat death is a thing. Running CPU’s and GPU’s at 100% are what burn-in stress tests are made of. This shortens the life of the product. Running this game at 100% will eventually give the card an early death. You don’t want to fully utilize anything on a PC. My target frame rate is 60 fps. I generally set up a game to run between 60-80% of GPU usage. Headroom is good. I buy high grade components, and I never overclock. I run it cool and with enough thermal headroom to make it last 5+ years without failure. None of my builds have ever failed. 15% of your 3080 doesn’t even sound realistic.

I agree heat death is a real thing, however GPUs are made to be utilized at 100%. My 3080 runs near or at 100% normally, and my temps never go above 60c which is more than enough headroom under the thermal limit. As long as you have sufficient airflow and you don’t run at or near the thermal limit things will be fine.

Your 3080 is too new to be anecdotal evidence. I have a bricked ASUS gaming laptop that disagrees with your views on what a product is “designed” to do. I don’t buy into marketing hype or what a manufacturer says their product is capable of. The 3090 is being bricked by 100% utilization. What was it designed to run at?

How is my 3080 too new, but you go on to talk about the 3090? Never had any issues with my 3060ti, 2070s, 5700xt, rx570, 1070, 960m or 670. As far as your bricked laptop there could be numerous reason, but sounds like to me the temps were way too high and bricked because it couldn’t thermal throttle fast enough which once again is an airflow issue, especially for a laptop.
Tech isn’t 100% infallible we all know this. Things can fail due to numerous problems. No body knows 100% the reason the 3090s were dying. It could be due to heat affecting the GDDR6X or VRMs the PCB it’s self or any other series of issues.
