Users have reported significant issues with GPU optimization, noting that the game's default video settings can cause excessive fan speeds and high GPU temperatures, often reaching 100% usage. Adjusting the settings down to "1" instead of "2" can help maintain good texture quality while reducing fan speeds to a more manageable 60%-70%. Overall, the optimization for GPU performance needs improvement to prevent overheating and excessive resource usage.
“Many people have complained about the intense GPU fan speed not being optimized or normal in game video settings, causing the GPU (graphics card) to run hotter than normal, sometimes reaching extreme or 100% usage!”
“Just adjust it down to setting '1' instead of all the way up to '2'. The textures will still look good, and your GPU fan will run much cooler, around 60%-70% instead of 80% to 100%. You can also minimize the game using the 'Windows key' and open Task Manager, then select the 'Performance' tab to see the actual GPU temperature change.”
