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

      @TheFlitez try launch option -refresh (refresh rate of your monitor) and +fps_max (refresh rate)
