I have an RTX 2080. For the most part in game (@ 3440 x 1440, mix of high and ultra), I rarely see my GPU go over 75% usage in flight, as I’m “limited by main thread” like most people with higher tier GPUs.
However, while sitting at the main screen, it would basically cook my GPU. Just sitting in the menu doing nothing, my GPU used to spike to 100% usage, temperature would go up to 85ºC and the fans would sound like a TBM at takeoff power.
Just removed my headset after a flight to realize that is was quiet in here. I realized my GPU fans weren’t screaming bloody murder at me any more. I’m now sitting at 40% GPU use. Still seems a bit steep for just sitting in a menu, but I’ll take it.
Thank you for FINALLY doing something about that!
