Extremely high GPU usage in menus on F1 23 PC
This is unacceptable. How is the game this badly optimised that it uses over 200 watts of GPU power on the menu? There's nothing even rendering on the screen. Latest update RX 6700xt R7 58...

My problem is not the menu, but the Team HQ on the Carreer mode, where only the car is rendered, the game locks at a massive unstable 45fps, and the game overrides the GPU power limit as well, its limited to 250w, but that menu makes it shot up to 285w and I've seen small spikes to 300w and 107ºC on the GPU Hotspot, nothing EVER made my GPU behave like that, I was actually scared for my hardware.
I found that locking FPS to 30 while on the menu gives me a perfectly flat frametime and the GPU idles at a confortable 500Mhz and 43ºC at ~50w, but locking and unlocking FPS is just a headache and sometimes impossible, since there is no place to lock between the end of a race and coming back to the HQ, where the GPU already heats up before I can press start, navigate 3 screens and then lock the FPS.
My question is, this game, in any mode on PS5 or Series X runs at 60 or 120FPS on races and locked 30 on Menu, why PC cant be like that? Its so hard to make that an option? Something that already works on both consoles, that wouldn't solve the issue, but would mitigate it, I guess a lot of playes wont mind 30fps menus to preventing frying GPUs
