I obviously took a couple personal liberties but am really enjoying the new Salamander pieces, and the Screaming Bell orange on black is awesome. Tysm Saber

Here are some settings I changed. Mostly turning off VSYNC allowed tinkering. The rest may vary for you. I personally have an Nvidia 50 series card.

VSYNC ON: 100% GPU usage

VSYNC OFF + 60FPS: -20% GPU Usage

VSYNC OFF + 30FPS: -60% GPU Usage

DLSS: -18% GPU

Texture Quality: -2% GPU / -Setting

Texture Filtering OFF: -7% GPU

Shadow Quality <Ultra: -10% GPU

Voumetric Fog: <High = -8% GPU usage

So I'm sitting at a decent 50-70% GPU utilization now so it's not on fire anymore at 100% utilization. The other settings don't seem to change much. I tried messing with the boot.config file but the current settings changing don't seem to help unless there are other settings to try there. And no I don't have issue with other games by default and if I do I fix it / modify settings. I wish it was more optimized but the 41st millennium might just not have the technology yet it seems, though I still think it's a cool game.

Hope this helps if you're struggling finding a solution.
