Why are we still using 100% GPU in menus? I haven’t even gotten past the login queue and it’s taking 100%.
This is degrading peoples hardware sooner than it should, heating up rooms (i live in the tropics) and not helping power bills.
Come on, bad coding?
Yeah people have been complaining about this for literally years. I cannot believe they still haven’t capped fps in the menus… Why… Why
Go to the in-sim settings and disable Home Screen Background if it exists. I did that in 2020 and got down to 13% normal GPU usage in the Main Menu. I don’t know if 2024 has this feature though.
In the Login queue, press alt-enter and using your mouse, reduce the window like in the picture below + go in nvidia settings and put max FPS to 60 or so… down to 36% GPU usage from the 79%
I just cap the fps 
Same here as well, but if you don’t want it running lots of memory as well you can disable the home screen background photo.
I don’t use Nvidia but thanks.
I much prefer the AMD software and drivers TBH (I ditched my 3080 for a 7900XTX).
In the menus, trying to set up my controller (with some difficulty), my GPU is running at a high level, 95% usage and just a few degrees below maximum.
This is the same problem we had years ago in FS2020. At that time, Asobo accepted this was not good, and gave us the option of not running the video in the background.
Now they’ve made almost exactly the same error in FS2024, although this time there is no video being displayed, just the GPU being worked hard.
Do Asobo not learn from their mistakes?
It appears the issue from MSFS2020 where if you sat on the main menu for too long without any activity it sucked up tons of resources and crashed your PC. Anyone else experiencing this?
Where is that setting?
Same here. 4090 works on 99% when i am changing from flight to main menu etc.
It was really bad in FS20 for a long time, but then they did an SU that made it much, much better. Hoping they can do the same for FS24.
