In the menu it shouldn’t be like this, in the game though it should be like this

Anyway this GPU load here is absolutely nonsense

Yes the same on PC, very annoying. It is only the career menu doing this.
Should definitely be patched

99% utilisation of GPU is pretty normal in games, especially when you run it windowed mode.

I’ve also noticed a heavy load on my graphics card in this menu.
They should fix it.

Nope

High graphics card usage is fine during flight but it’s not acceptable in the game menu.
Also, please note that I’m playing in full-screen mode.

Also in main menu.

I’ve noticed high graphics card utilization after the latest update.

FS2020 also had this problem by the way. There was an experimental feature in the options (I think it was “low power mode”), which prevented unnecessary power draw in the menus.
This option does not exist in FS2024 (also it should not be an option, it’s clear it should be programmed that way). But of course, the Career menu style did not exist in FS2020.
In FS2024 I have about 60% usage in the top and free flight menu, which I find quite OK. But >90% in the career menu, not acceptable.


MSFS 2020 main menu - 34% gpu usage
MSFS 2024 main menu - 94%

“A 99% GPU usage typically means your graphics card is working at its full capacity, which is usually considered normal when performing demanding tasks like gaming at high settings, as it signifies your GPU is being utilized to its maximum potential and pushing out as many frames as possible; however, if you experience consistently high GPU usage even during light tasks, it could indicate a problem with your system or settings that needs further investigation”

BTW i love Robert Kubica :heart: :smiley:

And the menu actually renders graphics all the time in MSFS 2024.

Nothing to worry

I know how my GPU, driver work. I also understand what factors influence the utilization of our graphics cards during gameplay. As I mentioned before, it’s not acceptable for the graphics card usage to reach 94-99% in the menu – that’s not okay, and it never has been. They need to fix this, and I am waiting for that improvement.

Could you mention another game where in a menu the GPU reaches 98% ?

Issue has been reported for the settings menu in particular: GPU Usage Extremely High on Settings Menu
I did not find a report for the main menu or others menu screens.

That was mine, I was seeing it on all menus. My title is probably bad.

I’ll update.
