I'm running a 7900 XTX on the current 24.12.1 driver.
I have observed some rather bizarre power draw while on very specific screens in the game.
On stock settings (Ultra settings + Super Resolution + FrameGen; 1080p), the general game draws roughly 80 Watts.
However, on some bizarrely static screens like the world map, the area map or even the result screen at the end of boss fights or quests, the GPU suddenly draws 300+ Watts, which gets the fans to run at ~1600 RPM.
Even more bizarrely, disabling things like Super Resolution and FrameGen, the base game draws around 150-250 Watts, still less than these screens draw.
They do not draw more power with the aforementioned things disabled however.
I also used both Adrenalin and RivaTuner to force 60 FPS, just in case the game starts to render itself to death internally, both without any effect.
While none of that has any impact on performance, i'm a bit paranoid giving my GPU big energy draw spikes every time i open a map screen.
Does anyone know what might cause this?
