Summary:
Hi, I have an issue with Bannerlord (vanilla, single player) with respect to overly excessive GPU usage. When running the game the GPU whirrs loudly per HWMonitor it's running at 100% GPU usage when in game. As soon I launch Bannerlord in the main menu (before loading a saved game) the GPU usage hits 70%, despite it only being the main menu. On the world map GPU usage is at 100% all of the time, constantly, and so fans are loud and GPU runs very hot, meanwhile CPU is at 1% utilisation. I have tried reducing the frame rate to 60 which makes a small amount of difference but the GPU fans are still maxed out. All of this happens both full screen and borderless mode. Game is on medium performance settings and I am experiencing these issues, if I reduce graphics performance overall settings to "low" the GPU usage lowers to 60% (but then game looks like something from two decades ago).
My PC is a good spec, all windows updates and latest Nvidia drivers installed (Corsair software also running for LEDs etc). I have not adjusted any Nvidia settings. Why is the game running seemingly entirely on the GPU and not using the CPU?
How to Reproduce: Happens every time when running game
