Sky King Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 I just noticed that in Tower 3D Pro, my 1080Ti GPU usage is pegged at 99-100% all the time, regardless of the graphics settings. Does anybody else experience this? Even with P3D at moderately high settings, the GPU runs at about 35%. Here are my specs: Gigabyte Z97X-UD5H-BK,Black Edition Motherboard; Intel I7-4790K CPU; 16 Gb G.Skill RAM (F3-2400); Win 7 Pro; 3 Samsung 1Tb SSDs; Toshiba 3Tb hard drive; Gigabyte Aorus 1080Ti, 11 Gb of VRAM (card factory overclocked).

DeltaVII Posted April 7, 2019 Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Yeah, T3D does grill the GPU, even when paused and/or escaped. So you better keep the fans clean at all times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sky King Posted April 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2019 Thanks for the reply! It just seems strange that the display doesn't seem to me to be particularly complex requiring this level of usage. Perhaps this is something the next version of T3D can address. Something doesn't seem right on the programming side. I wonder how this would perform with a less beefy video card..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripskin Posted April 8, 2019 Report Share Posted April 8, 2019 Mostly optimizations that are not present in the engine. It is normal for the system to be running under more load than one would expect with this game. As stated though pausing and menus seem to hit it more. In game depending on the number of planes its not soo bad temp wise but usage is up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
707FAN Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 A handy thing that I have found and I have quite an old video card, is if your computer has been running for many hours doing word processing, spreadsheets, other games etc. which leaves left over bits in RAM etc. a good cold reboot before running T3D makes sure that you have all the CPU, video and RAM resources available for the game. I never have a crash (except Aircraft) if I start the game from a fresh boot. Kev M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EliGrim Posted April 11, 2019 Report Share Posted April 11, 2019 I can't make anything unusual out of T!3Dpro on my PC. Here's a quick comparison: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
