The problem with Odyssey currently not being optimized is well known and documented. However, 100% GPU load is nothing to worry about unless you overclock. Do you get me?
GPU Usage at 99-100 %
- Thread starter Ibetyou
- Start date
I will repeat , it is NOT NORMAL to use GPU AT 100 % usage , u talk for yourself , find me other one who can confirm this ? And oh yeah please find one with brains please .
'Ibetyou' that you are a strawman.System REQ . GOD i have ALMOST HIGH end pc what r u talking about ?))
I get u mate , with overlocked video card and other 100x video cards i had overclocked not even single one had 100 % GPU USAGE !!! I'ts not about overclock lol , do u read what i write ? EVERY SINGLE GAME i have with OVERCLOCKED card i never get GPU USAGE more that 60 % NOT A SINGLE GAME , and by the way , the games i have , they are hungry for grafics .
Another nonsense , why u r in this post again , to help or to look smart without knowing ?
All of this is interesting.
I'm not overclocked at all and I get 80fps most of the time with peaks to 400fps, with 120fps at most outposts. I have everything set to Ultra @2160x1440 30.hz, no sync and unlimited frame rate.
Ryzen-9 3900x @4.0Ghz-OC from 3.8Ghz
DDR-4 3600 Ram
AMD-5700x not overclocked at all
OS/Game code running from an NvMe 2.0 Gen-4 Extreme R/W.
My point is, all of you overclock to get those FPS rates and when I don't, I get more stable FPS than you do, because I'm just not seeing it on my PC. (thank you Fdev).
Anyone try not overclocking to see what happens?
EDIT: I'm only seeing 60%-70% CPU usage around stations and planets and it never goes higher than that.

Good question.
Are we talking about on FOOT or in space ? in space i have 90-120 fps , on foot 40-70 depends on how many AI is in there , also , 30 hz ? I run at 144 .
No one says it's normal. But it's not a risk to the GPU. Bottom-range GPUs hit 100% load all the time, which is why they can't keep up with frame rates. However, it kills none of them. If a video card dies from 100% load, it's either overclocked or undercooled, i.e. running outside its specifications. The OP overclocks and then complains about a game actually using the performance headroom that he added in the first place for this very specific reason. It makes no sense.
Just for the record , i'm gonna run Elite without overclock , just for you
Lets see what's happense .
There is definitely room for performance optimization in Odyssey, but that type of usage is common. GPU's are built for full utilization considering they are generally given just one job to do.
It can't kill the card. Don't worry. Now, your power bill might be something to consider...

On-foot as much as possible. Averaging 90-120 fps.
Can't belive in that , I9-10900 32 gb ram (3000) , 2070super here , ill check without overclock
Then why would manufacturer statistics be offered on lifespan under full load vs normal load? A lot of GPUs are factory overclocked or overclock/underclock based on temperature overhead as well, so that isn't really something the end user always has control over. I will say however, that this thread is some serious bait poking fun at people complaining about the games performance.
U really don't read what i wrote , i have 0 problems with any single game .
As others have explained, there are some acknowledged optimisation issues with the game.
I have a number of PC's in the house. Odyssey one-hundred-percents the machines with a 1660 Ti and an RTX 2070. The machine with a 3070 becomes CPU bound before saturating that card.
Hopefully, it will get better.
That isn't even relevant to what I just said.
Right ? This post was to DEVS , that they should look forward about this problem , not to talk about overlocking which i had never problems with , NEVER . Not i single video card , i had problems with overlocking , only i had is a boost in fps (thank god) and at the moment i never had a single burned video card because of overclocking but only a fps boost !

A card that is properly cooled and running at factory clock rates usually reaches obsolescence long before it reaches end of life.
