you're doing something wrong here..on all of my PC's my GPU usage is always pegged at 99-100%, yours is swaying like a gay waltzing down a cat walk.

EDIT: some of my ingame captures with GPU usage pegged and CPU just doing almost nothing.

HIGH settings (Default for my 4060ti)+DLSS Quality (default also)+2k resolution+fullscreen exclusive

this is the PC specs running the game (i7 12700K)
Im testing in the village (heavier than the wilds you are testing on) with a 4090 at 1080p with DLSS set to performance...what do you expect?

You mean with the temps or frames?
Frames - bit more hitching and frame time jank than I’m used to especially during background apps and heavy IO in games (SSD streaming in etc)

I usually have stuff running in the background that I listen too when I play games (streams,discord,steam etc).Starting to wonder if it's going to be an issue with this cpu since both you and Justbenching reported the same thing.
Granted the cpu just released maybe a future chipset update could fix the huge variability/frametime jank?
