Users have noted that while playing graphically intensive games like Baldur's Gate 3, GPU usage remains relatively low (30-50%), but in contrast, a jigsaw game can push GPU usage to 100% consistently over extended play sessions, raising questions about optimization and resource management in different game types.
“Why can I play graphically intense games like Baldur's Gate 3 with only 30-50% of my GPU being occupied, but as soon as I start this jigsaw game, the GPU usage shoots up to 100%? It stayed this way consistently for the 3 hours I played.”
“The graphics in this game are underwhelming and feel outdated, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“I expected more from the visuals; they look flat and lack detail, which detracts from the overall experience.”

The game's optimization is lacking, particularly when switching between tasks, as it tends to become unresponsive and does not appear on the desktop taskbar unless manually brought back into focus.
“The game is poorly optimized when it comes to tabbing over to other tasks and tries to appear invisible on the desktop taskbar unless you specifically alt+tab back to the game.”
“The performance drops significantly during intense gameplay, making it frustrating to play.”
“I frequently experience stuttering and frame drops, which ruins the overall experience.”
