Low GPU and CPU usage in dense areas

Post » Fri Nov 27, 2015 1:59 pm

Hello,
While running performance tests on the game, I noticed low GPU usages in very dense areas (center of Boston, high points in the city...) resulting in framerate drops. However, in the wasteland, when it is less needed, my GPU is properly used.
Furthermore, I noticed that that the only way to make my GPU usage raise is to increase resolution. So I get almost the same framerate in the city with 4k resolution and no AA and with 1080p and TAA ; in 4k res my GPU usage is at 100%, in 1080p it is only around 55-60%.
(I tested it next to the old church

where the Railroad HQ is
)
I noticed several people talking about this issue on Reddit, and it could definitely be causing most performance issues. I already posted a feedback on the official website.
Did you run into similar issues ? Did anyone find a fix for this ?
Thank you for your attention.
(I hope I didn't make too many grammar mistakes. English is not my native language.)
