PGLS

Any reason why the GPU is always running at a minimum of 80%?

Even when just doing nothing at main menu..... got a Geforce 1070 and there's no need for all that GPU usage...

Personally I would reinstall anything to do with your GPU. Use the following program (DDU) to completely remove the drivers and anything associated with the GPU ...

This program is best run in Safe Mode.

Nopes that didnt help

EDIT: Reported this issue to nvidia. Highly unlikely they get back to me on the matter

Just "for fun" I tried to set max fps = 60 in the nvidia control panel but doesn't change anything......... gpu rushes like a runaway train with "red" power usage and 80-100% at all times....

I'll reinstall the game...... most likely wont help but....

Made a movie. It goes to 90% when intro is loaded so....

This is a log I found for the game. It shows that I have 8Gb RAM which is incorrect. I got 16Gb if that matters. And there is no folder "C:\buildslave".. :

That's the VRAM on your GPU not the system RAM.

The rest of the log is standard.

Ye its the GPU also, so that's why it might be an issue.

Surely I'm not the only one with a 1070 (or similar I guess) that has this problem. Game works as usual but it sure adds to the electrical bill.

Have you tried going back to an older driver for nvidia card.
Definitely sounds like a driver issue.

I have a nVidia GTX 970 and I get no issues with it.
