Try turning[Texture Streaming Budget] to None with [V-Sync] to Off [Anti-Aliasing] to None.

What kind of monitor are you using? I dont think a gtx 1060 wont work well with 4k resolution but I dont know if you have that kind of resolution...

Go to video settings and texture streaming budget set it to 1-2Gb of vram and lower your screen resolution that would certainly help alot

There's nothing wrong with a GPU being at 100% It's normal. How do you know it's 'stressing' your computer out? Keep an eye on your temps, if they're in a acceptable range there is nothing to worry about.

There are settings that affect CPU the most and settings that affect GPU the most. If you set everything to low you also set some CPU heavy settings to low which gives the game more resources to make the GPU reach higher FPS numbers which it will always try to.

Unless you set a maximum FPS you will always stress either the CPU, GPU or if your system is perfectly balanced for the game: both.

i think that, like fortnite, the game is just not optimized properly. even games like destiny 2 and black ops 4 dont take up 100% of my GPU usage. This could also be a possible reason for the multitude of crashes users get when playing the game.

Did you find a fix for this? If not, what I have found that works for me is to change the Vsync option to either adaptive or adaptive 1/2. It takes my GPU usage from 99% all the time to 60-80%, the only downside is that because you're using some form of Vsync, you'll have more input lag. One way I have countered that is by using this software called TimerResolution which basically reduces the reaction time from 1ms to 0.5ms which probably varies from monitor to monitor.

 

I hope they actually fix it though... one day. Been having performance issues with this game ever since it's been out.

I am having the same problem. I have a 1080 and settings are at low and the temps go up to 90°c and gpu says  it's at 100% load. i have tried turning on adaptive v sync  and it only brings it down to 98% anyone have any other ideas
