Bug Reports & Support / Terrible FPS with ~10-20% system utilization
« on: July 02, 2021, 12:16:48 PM »
I have a Ryzen 3400G and a 5700XT. Basically, even though I get around 20-30 FPS, my computer simply won't ramp up and use more than 10-20% of my CPU or GPU for Starsector (see attachments), while my system works fine for other games.

There are a few things to mention:
- My CPU core clock is lowered because I like to keep the temperature down, but it always stays around the max I've set of 2.6GHz because of my Windows power options. However, CPU never seems to consistently stay above 20% utilization on Starsector even though I'm constantly getting 20ish FPS.
- My GPU maximum core clock is also lowered for the same reason, but for some reason, while Starsector is running, it won't go anywhere near the maximum core clock of 1900MHz. Instead, it just stays at ~200MHz at most with, again, 10-20% utilization.
- This awful FPS happens both in-combat and out.
- I am using a lot of mods, but I have exactly the same performance on vanilla Starsector.
