Installation Manager - Updater GPU at Max

Please tag your post with #pc and/or #xbox. #pc

Are you on Steam or Microsoft Store version? Steam

Are you using Developer Mode or made changes in it? Dev Mode is on, but not an issue

Brief description of the issue: When the Installation Manager (updater) screen is up, the GPU stays at full boost for some reason. That’s 350-400W depending on GPU… doing what? I have to pull all my sliders down in Afterburner/X1 just so that it doesn’t work so hard and heat the card.

Detail steps to reproduce the issue encountered: none necessary, just does it. Not sure why FS wants 500+ FPS at an update screen.

PC specs and/or peripheral set up of relevant: AMD 3900X, 3080 FTW3 Hybrid, 4k Monitor @ 60hz

Build Version # when you first started experiencing this issue: May have been around for a while. But SU7 is what i’m on right now, 1.21.13.0, and it’s updating to …the same thing? Wait, What?
