Running 40 or 50 FPS on RTX 20 series cards with still plenty of GPU power could

I've been playing great legends for the past couple of days now on the PC and I've realized that not only that I'm witnessing sound popping issues but there are problems with GPU utilization as it will not take advantage of the GPU of the RTX 20 series I have an RTX 2070 and it's only using about 50 or 60% of the power and it's running at 40 or 50 FPS on ultra settings As for a new game like this I would really expect the game to push more power than this so I'm guessing this is a problem with the game having a hard time having a hard time figuring out what the utilization is

    It's an optimisation issue not a DRM issue, AMD cards are running the game just fine, but it seems a lot of Nvidia cards are having this low utilisation bug.

    Best thing we can do is wait until Codemasters releases a performance optimisation patch or Nvidia to release a driver that addresses the issue.

  • Here's a shot from Bang4Bucks video where it shows a 6900XT fully utilising the GPU vs an RTX 3090 only using 91%, this results in the AMD card getting around 15 to 20fps more at 4K. 

    The second shot is from my own video showing my GTX 980 only getting 90% utilisation.

  • Okay now I've just all faith in everything, this is Grid (2019) showing the exact same problem.  So game is literally a copy/paste of the of the previous game, also this indicates a driver problem because Grid Autosport and F1 2021 don't have the same issue.  Definitely sucks because Legends is a much more complete game compared to the dumpster fire from 2019 :P

    I had the same issue with the game ,so I started to play around with the settings and turns out that the problem was the crowds setting , after turning it off and restarting the game I don't have this issue anymore. Will keep an eye on the things (as of writing this May 15 2024)

    Playing at ultra high preset with crowds off at 1440p

    PC specs:
    i5-100600KF
    RTX 3060 Ti
    32 GB RAM 2666 mhz

    Edit 1: Had msi afterburner with rivertuner stats running in the background for any heating issues and starting playing GL and had low FPS , after closing the game and msi after burner , didn't have low fps anymore.
