My settings use GPU at 100% - Need Help
« on: March 02, 2014, 07:19:39 am »





English version :
---------------------


I know I do not have a very powerful machine but it is sufficient for most applications even if I reduce the graphics.


Here are the settings I use to AfterWorldSurvival.


I use AWS on my laptop DELL M1730


I see that my GPU is always 100% even with a minimum configuration.


In the configuration I specified 'Target FPS to 30 and I find that I'm at 50 FPS.


There would he no worries in the AWS client?


Would you have a configuration that does not require me to play in the fridge :)?


thank you

N'y aurait il pas soucis dans le client de AWS ?

Auriez vous une configuration qui ne m'oblige pas à jouer dans le frigo :)  ?

That model shipped with 2 graphic card options according to Dell.  If you choose the cheaper options then ya this would happen.  The upgrade for gaming you got a Dual 256MB Nvidia GeForce 8700M GT which should be fine for the game I would think.

i had dual 9800 in my desktop and there was a problem with the drivers at the time and it made my gpu work over time


it was working so hard i had to add extra fans to the cards


then the computer store that seen my configuration said i should mess with the drivers rolling them back to old versions


which worked


im not sure of all the details because it was many beers ago

I thought you were making a mistake when you said it has two 8700Ms, but when I looked it up I was surprised to see that you're right!

Still, if it's using only one 8700M correctly it should still run AWS without a ton of trouble. SLI tends to be problematic even when it's fully supported and I'm not sure that AWS does support that configuration. Have you opened a new Helpdesk Ticket?

I am experiencing the same issues.


I have an ASUS Ultrabook S550C that incorporates two video cards.
One Intel HD4000 and one GeForce 740M.
I havent managed to make AW work with the 740M card...

I did some manipulations on configurations. It appears that I can increase the FPS to 60. But the option 'Target FPS "does not limit the FPS of the game And so my GPU is at its maximum value


If this function 'target FPS' was functional, I think we could win percentage GPU.


I tested EU and is less demanding than AWS on GPU.


I think we should keep in mind that there is a concern that side and hoped that the next VU correct the problem.

EU makes use of CryEngine which uses a lot of CPU multithreading, so naturally load on GPU is smaller

I believe you have a reasonable bug report here.
My recollection of the Survival tests is that Dedicated Logic implied they had customized the game engine for certain types of GPUs.

it's dangerous for your laptop as well.

Nvidia 8000 series mobile GPU's are well known for dying because of constant heat. Actually, GPU's do not die but soldered connections fail because of poor thermal characteristics.

Eventual result remains same though

Agreed, I'd like at least see an option to lower it or have it lowered without it having to kill your whole pc of, it will help the player base grow too as well as lowering requirements will bring a lot of people back.
