[PC] Madden 24 using 100% CPU and 0% GPU
I've tried a few different things including solutions I've found on the subreddit for older Madden games, but none have worked. I went into my Graphics Settings on my PC and forced the game to use my...

@EA_Barry I have checked back on this thread and the trial pc version of madden 24 for well over a month and the game still runs entirely on cpu and neither you nor anyone else has any idea how to fix it and it’s truly embarrassing. How this game has gone this long being unplayable and nothing has been even addressed is wild. I would have purchased the full game long ago but I will not spend a cent on something so clearly neglected. Smh
Not entirely true, though there are still issues. As I stated above, go to nvidia settings and set openGL rendering to the GPU. Set application settings for M24 in graphics settings on your PC to maximum performance. Limit FPS in game to either 60 or 120 depending on what you have with full screen on. I described still having a slow game at times and grainy looking, compromised graphic quality, but that was because I changed a couple of other things that were causing problems, and after restoring to default settings and then setting openGL to GPU again, it fixed that. So it's actually running pretty well for me so far, although it still does not use the GPU as much as it should, and CPU temp should still be monitored. Don't misunderstand me - this is still pretty unacceptable all around when there's a little anxiety about how the CPU temp can potentially get high.
Spoke too soon, predictably. It's running like crap again, possibly a result of the update, and I've verified over and over that everything is set the way that worked for me before. I also tried other things. But nope, it's right on back to using the CPU heavily, and barely using the GPU at all. And of course, all they're going to do is continue ignoring this, as if a bunch of people didn't just spend $70 or more on the PC version. We've pinged them, we've posted about this repeatedly, everyone and their mother knows the PC version has issues, and EA refuses to even speak about the issue(s) at all. Ridiculous.
