NFS Unbound makes GPU use less Power
Sometimes the game just makes your GPU draw less power as it normally should, resulting in low FPS and stuttering. Afterburner still shows 100% GPU Usage and 100% Power Limit but in my case my 3080 T...

Community ManagerYou can check if a similar situation arises with other games, this will help you confirm (or not) if your GPU cooling is working as expected.
Thanks.

Who talked about the problem being the cooling? My Asus TUF 3080 OC is working fine with no problems, very silent with a Temperature of a Maximum of 70 Degrees Celsius. When the bug happenes temperature goes down to 65 or 64 Degrees. It is using 100 Watts less after all.
My other games are fine. And I am not talking about minesweeper there. More like Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3 with the new raytracing update, heck, I even got Portal RTX to run decent on this card.
I better not start to talk about all the other bugs I found in this game after just 2 days of playing...
EDIT: How to 100% replicate this bug, it seems I did not make this clear:
Go to your garage to modify your car, in the screen where you get to free look around your car.
Go to the Options Menu from there (by pressing the Start Button on your controller I assume) and change 1 graphical setting, for example change Ambient Occlusion from AAO to HBAO or SSAO.
And yes, there are reports on reddit of users having the exact same issues. And a lot ppl are complaining about the game being horribly optimized or they are getting bad FPS, but not a lot of ppl are monitoring the power usage of their graphics cards.
I am just telling you here that this is the problem of the bad performance of the game, it is sometimes telling the graphics card sometimes to use less power than it should. After burner still reads 100% Power usage even if using only half of the normal maximal Watts.
