Since the last patch/update when in the main menu after the splash screens, whatever you are doing is destroying my GPU. It's spiking to 99-100% until I launch a game. This is really bad, nothing that I play with, at most settings even goes over 70-80%

Ryzen 5600X and an AMD 7600

Can we please get this sorted? Not sure if this coincides with AMD's latest driver update as well but you two seem to be on different pages here. Nvidia is one player, work with the other.

What is your maximum GPU temperature when using BF2042 that you care about it? . The basic thing is to set the graphics cooling so that the core temperature does not exceed 70°C. Every serious GPU company installs a lot of security measures in graphics, so I don't know why you're stressing about GPU degradation. For 4 years now, I have had GPU usage around 99% in various games (of course not all the time, but around 70% of the gameplay) and nothing has happened to the graphics. I don't know what it's like in AMD, but in Nvidia I set the fan speeds to a given temperature using MSI Afterburner and to this day I have had no problems with graphics, I don't even lose performance in FPS, because, as I mentioned, the GPU does not exceed the magic threshold of 70 ° C If you have water cooling, don't worry at all, I suspect that your GPU doesn't even reach 60°C with water cooling.

I use Manual Fan Speed for every graphics card, the default settings are made so that the graphics survive the warranty period, then it's a total hit, just like with new cars, if you know how to operate the engine and know how often you should change the oil while the oil is running in (max. 1-2 thousand km first replacement, then the second one max. after 5 thousand km, and the rest every 10-15 thousand km or once a year - the engine will live a long time, and if you blindly believe in the manufacturer's recommendation, i.e. replacement every 30 thousand . km, then a general overhaul of the engine is guaranteed after the warranty expires xD)

My Fan config for example below for MSI RTX 2080S (I admit that it is aggressive, but the RTX 2080 Super with 2 fans is a bit warm. On the GTX 1060, this configuration looked much smoother., because GTX 1060 is cooler than RTX 2080S)

In my opinion, everyone has the same GPU problem as us because this game is poorly optimized in general. Even the latest computer graphics, which are very powerful, have trouble maintaining stable FPS and are very loaded, so that's the charm of this game, this game is very demanding and there's nothing we can do about it.

If your graphics card is not overheating, in my opinion you have nothing to worry about, at most your electricity bill will be higher, and if it is heating up, increase the fan speed in the Fan Speed chart in the AMD software (not in the GPU BIOS, look for it in the software xD) , and at a temperature of 70 °C set the speed to 100%. How to set the Fan Speed correctly, you need to do it using the trial and error method. If you set a high speed for low temperatures, you will only accelerate the wear of the fan bearings and make noise, it is important not to exceed 70 ° C.

Find the FPS limit option in the AMD control panel. Set it to the same as your monitor's refresh rate. So, for example, if you have a 144hz monitor, you set the frame rate to 144 fps.
Your GPU is at 100% load in the menu because you have no FPS limit set, which causes the GPU to generate as much FPS as it can generate.

BF2042 have no command to set limit FPS. Riva Tunner is no working on BF2042 since 6 seazon :P, so left only AMD/Nvidia fps limiter.

GL

Ok, so first off, I have my FPS set. It's at 144, as is my refresh mate of my monitor.

I get around 130-140 in game, on high settings, which is fine. The issue is the main menu, where something is going on, like it's trying to constantly render in 1 billion poly's at 16k. The second I join a server, gpu usage drops back down to 50-70%.

AMD's limiting doesn't do anything, as it's not even reaching these caps, it break about 65FPS at the main menu and stresses the hell out of the card.

Settings do not matter at all, low high, ultra, downscaling to 1080, nothing.

I have tried all these solution myself and to no avail, which is why I believe there is some issue between the latest update and AMD drivers, specifically for my card, as I know two people with pretty much identical rigs, and the same GPU's and this is happening. 

No, nothing wrong with my hardware. It's happening to others with similar builds. Not sure if it's an EA or AMD issue but, in all honesty, I haven't had a problem, hiccup or anything with anything else, and I usually run this as hard as I can go.

Can stress test this till the cows come home and it's fine. Only happened on the last update that EA.Dice pushed through. Main menu is bunkered. If it was my driver's it would most likely be happening during gameplay, not just at the main menu.

I'm writing a PM because Robeco will get smarter, and I'm offering such nonsense to you that I'll write a PM before you spoil something at your place.

Answer to your problem described in the post:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Technical-Issues/GPU-Usage-100-at-menu-since/m-p/13188600#M55541

I understand that the only problem you are reporting is that at times your GPU reaches 100% usage?

As I wrote in my first reply under post #2, the key is to ensure that the GPU does not overheat. If someone expects a miracle on a stick, it is only that person's problem. It's a pity that the AMD fps limiter for BF2042 doesn't work for you, but Vsync in BF2042 definitely works for you. It's just that the graphics processor (I don't know why) takes a beating in the game menu right after starting (apparently this animation generates a lot of calculations). If you really want not to have 100% consumption, then before starting the game, set the refresh rate to 100HZ and turn on VSYNC, you will see that the processor will not reach 100% consumption, because the lower the FPS, the less work the GPU does (I once accidentally set 60HZ on the monitor and GPU reached a maximum of 45% consumption in the menu on a weaker GPU than yours). Other games (I don't know which ones you mention) probably have additional options in the form of: limit FPS in the menu, limit FPS during the match, or they have a built-in 60 FPS limit in the menu by default in the game code, so as not to generate unnecessary load on the GPU and power consumption.

If you don't have a blue screen of death or artifacts, it means nothing is happening. If you had the wrong drivers, you would have BSOD or artifacts. If you had something wrong with some component or drivers, you would have other, more serious problems.

If you have nothing to do and want to learn something more, practice flashing the BIOS, updating GPU and motherboard drivers, formatting disks and Windows installer, chkdsk (command to check the disk), it won't change anything xD. This can only be changed by a DICE patch, which will optimize the game menu, for example by uploading the factory FPS limit to 60 (in the game menu, a higher number is really pointless), or will introduce the option of setting the maximum FPS while playing and in the menu as it is in the game, for example Call of Duty, so it's not your fault, the software or your computer.

If you don't believe me, try miracles on the stick by installing a different version of the driver, but believe me, it won't help. At most, you can cause BSOD problems if you incorrectly remove the previous version of the driver before installing another version.

AMD or Geeforce there is no difference, apart from GPU performance and some functions working worse/better. The symptoms of faulty drivers are the same regardless of the company.

The only truth is that AMD generates lower FPS in most games because the games are optimized for Nvidia due to Nvidia's greater popularity.

I don't know if you are a bot, or not, so will not DM you back, but reply here as intended.

I have been in IT for a very, very long time. I am not clueless, and am here because there is either an issue with AMD or EA since the game's last update. There is something going on. The MAIN MENU, hits 50-60 FPS and the gpu goes to 100% usage. The game, is about 130-140. This means, setting any kind of third party FPS limitation would give me a horrible negative experience and not something anyone, would ever do. You say to limit it to 60 FPS well, that would still be an issue. Not sure if you actually read what I said, but you seem to not have picked up anything. Again, are you some attempt at an AI?

Posting here was not to seek a solution from other members, but to bring awareness of an issue. There is nothing I can do on my part, to stop this from happening other than not playing the game, which is not ideal.

@nziced 

hahaha bravo for publishing. I don't have time for confrontation 🙂 have fun. You should have replied to my PM since it went to PM

@Rokebo73 

Robeko, enjoy reading <3, if I offended you, I'm sorry i didn't wanted this.

You have every right to report me to the administration - I'm leaving this thread.

Regards.

Wasn't the intention to cause any issue, I felt like your response was bot like at first, I just woke up, and the English wasn't perfect. Sorry.

However, the idea of limiting my frame rate wouldn't do anything, unless I was to limit it to 30-40 which would be kinda redundant in this day and age, especially with a 144hz monitor. The game plays fine, as it should, it's just the main menu. Which would assume, that there is an issue with the game, as the problem persisted not when AMD's last driver released, but when EA/Dice updated the game two weeks? back.

Thanks for trying to help, but I feel that nothing offered here will help me as it's a problem with how the game is wanting from my GPU, which it obviously doesn't like.

@nziced 

Ok, no problem, don't stress, it worked out as it turned out, that's how it turned out xD my English is poor anyway.

Just don't exceed 70°C on the GPU and you'll be fine. If you don't have BSOD and artifacts, don't mess with the drivers, because they are good, you can only make trouble when changing the driver version. Well, unless you know DDU and remove the drivers in safe mode, you can try, but in my opinion this is not a polished game, that's why you and me and probably many other people have the same problem as us.

It's good that at least I'm done with the black screens of BF2042.
