 l0b0 | ~65% GPU use according, ~160% CPU use, nowhere near pegged on either. | 09:13:28 |
 K900 | You should be looking at per-core utilization | 09:13:37 |
| K900 | It's possible you're maxing out one core | 09:13:44 |

| l0b0 | Doesn't look like it… | 09:15:10 |
| l0b0 | It's using ~50% of the GPU RAM | 09:16:40 |
| l0b0 | 11/30 G RAM | 09:17:07 |
| K900 | RAM (or VRAM for that matter) utilization isn't really indicative of performance | 09:17:51 |
| K900 | Unless you run out of it, but then your game will just crash | 09:18:02 |
| l0b0 | This is using DX11, by the way. | 09:18:10 |
| l0b0 | Launching the game with gamemoderun %command%. | 09:18:33 |
 @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | l0b0: fyi, if you tab away from the game, it uses way less GPU | 09:18:51 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | If I monitor nvtop from an ssh session on another machine, it's 100% | 09:19:17 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | If I tab out of the game and look in a terminal on the desktop, it's more like 55% | 09:19:33 |
| l0b0 | In reply to @elvishjerricco:matrix.org
If I tab out of the game and look in a terminal on the desktop, it's more like 55% I set the update interval to 6 seconds, tabbed into the game, waited, tabbed out. Still the same result. | 09:20:14 |
| l0b0 | Same for htop above | 09:21:02 |
| l0b0 | I'm running in borderless window mode; maybe it's different in fullscreen. | 09:22:40 |
| l0b0 | What bugs me is that lowering the settings and even the resolution doesn't seem to have much effect on FPS. | 09:27:06 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | some games honestly barely change their performance with different quality settings; dunno if that includes BG3. But resolution really ought to make a big difference... | 09:28:15 |
| l0b0 | Ultra settings gets ~40 FPS, and medium gets about the same. Only low settings seem to increase to ~50/60 (don't remember which). | 09:29:21 |
| l0b0 | What about DX11 vs Vulkan? Should there be an appreciable difference? | 09:30:01 |
| K900 | Depends entirely on the game | 09:30:33 |
| K900 | But generally I'd expect Vulkan to be slightly better | 09:30:42 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | BG3's Vulkan didn't work when I first tried it when I first got the game in september | 09:32:38 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | haven't tried it since though | 09:32:46 |
| K900 | It should be fixed on Mesa 23.3 | 09:32:52 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | oh hey, yea, it is | 09:34:29 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | and I reclaim most of the delta compared to windows | 09:34:38 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | nice | 09:34:39 |
| @elvishjerricco:matrix.org | not that I would notice the difference between 80 and 90 fps | 09:34:50 |
