Hi Team,

I have raised a case with NVidia support. As part of fault finding on my side, I have reinstalled the NVidia drivers via GeForce experience center.
There has been an marked improvement. Current the GPU is operating at 88 - 90%.

I have also reproduced the issue playing other games as well. (Warhammmer 2, Hell Let Loose)
I have reason to believe that there maybe additional issues with the more recent driver pack from NVidia.

3 years late but I have the same issue in 2024.

the fix is to limit fps to something reasonable. either manually by setting the Frame Limiter or by setting V-Sync to half or full.

before making the fix, my game was hogging all GPU resources pushing 200 fps on the map lol. i have a 165 hz monitor, so just setting frame limiter to 165 or V-Sync Full was enough to make videos buttery smooth again.
