Hi, scenes before actual game play fight battle are drawing maximum power 300 watts, can the developers code into the drivers to enforce power saving during these scenes?

728 = page 1 = 11w 14fps OK

389 = page 2 = 11w 59fps ok

070 = page 3 = 8w 78fps ok

472 = page 4 = 300w 90fps NOT OK power wasted 

359 = page 5 = 301w 87fps NOT OK power wasted

289 = page 6 = 275w 64fps NOT OK power wasted

806 = page 6 roated = 288w 68fps NOT OK power wasted

405 = page 7 = 297w 75fps NOT OK power wasted

294 = page 8 = 298w 68fps NOT OK power wasted

872 = page 9 = 297w 65fps NOT OK power wasted, all text only, no 3D, 3D buried under.

592 = page 10 = 229w 192fps high frame rate wasted. NOT OK power wasted, all text only, no 3D worth. Should just be a 2D map.

402 = page 11 = 274w 185fps high frame rate wasted. NOT OK power wasted,

483 = page 12 = 275w 177fps high frame rate wasted. NOT OK power wasted,

484 = page 13 = 299w 87fps NOT OK power wasted 

804 = page 14 = 295w 140fps high frame rate wasted. NOT OK power wasted,

748 = page 15 = 264w 66fps NOT OK power wasted,

353 = page 16 = 267w 59fps NOT OK power wasted,

071 = page 17 = 298w 41fps NOT OK power wasted,

861 = alt-tab out to radeon page = 293w 1fps, NO 3D but MW5 running in background still drawing power. Should not be like this. I thought some form of work done less and hence power usage less. 

107 = actual game play = 294w 78fps - high power usage accepted, but frame rate not impressive is another story.

449 = game finished = 295w 66fps NOT OK power wasted,

361 = game finished = 261w 36fps NOT OK power wasted,

Another note, power usage high, but high frame rate not achieved !!! need optimization.

my monitor is freesync resolution is 2560 x 1440, Vega_64 custom water cool. Ryzen 1700x.

Thanks @kingfish, I send a ticket as you advice and they fixed it in days.

AMD update driver for MW5, get it here

AMD says
Please give a try for the latest 20.1.1 driver for your Vega 64 graphic card.

Solve 300watts high power wastage for me, now consistently 200w power draw in non-battle-scene, i.e. story mode, but game play gets around 70fps to 120fps on 2560 x 1440 all defaults, MW5 graphics auto detect.

No more zoom drop fps also, problem solved.
