Thanks for your reply. FPS is hard to say but I think around 75-110. Ok I will try that. But still I find it strange that this game is using 98-99% gpu load, even in menus or alt-tab to windows. None of my other games does this. Can it be something in the driver settings that do this?I think that's normal. The gpu is just pushing out as many frames as it possibly can. What is your fps? I find that if I limit my fps to between 65 and 75, my gpu usage drops a lot, and the game seems smoother.
Why would you find it strange? This is probably the most hardware intensive game on the market, and it's almost completely un-optimized right now.Thanks for your reply.

F8 will show FPS, Afterburner with Rivatuner will let you set a framerate and see a lot of system info in game.FPS is hard to say but I think around 75-110.
You are playing a game that is still in the Alpha development stage. Optimization comes during Beta development, which is literally just around the corner for 7 Days.Ok I was afraid it was that the game is not optimized. I tried to limit fps to 75 and load and temp dropped a little, so thanks for the suggestion.
Np, also, since you mentioned high temps... I had real issues with my 1060 temp maxing out all the time when I first got it. I added a couple of fans to my case and got much lower temps. The gpu will throttle when the temp is high so, you might find some improvement looking at lowering your case temps.Ok I was afraid it was that the game is not optimized.

I have custom coling. 3 fans, but they dumping heat into chassis. But MasterCase H500M is a really nice chassis, but I'm not 100% sure about fan configuration,or placement of CPU water cooler. The GPU's in 7dtd without any fps limiter running at 98-99% load, and overclocked, with default cooling profile, stays in the low 80 all the time. Limited to 75 fps it drop down to high 70.Np, also, since you mentioned high temps... I had real issues with my 1060 temp maxing out all the time when I first got it.

The case is really nice. Yep CPU is water cooled, and GPU have only fans dumping hot air inside case. I read up on several tests about placement of radiator in this case. There is two 20cm fans in front so some recommended placing the radiator behind them with radiator fans pulling air into the case. This will result in some heat coming into the case, but the airflow through the cpu radiator is improved, lowering the temp on my 9700k OC cpu. So I prioritized CPU over GPU.That looks like a nice case, seems like temps should be lower. Are the radiator fans blowing out or in? It's water cooled CPU and air cooled GPU? I effed around with my fans a lot until I was able to get positive case pressure. Once I got that settled my temps really dropped.
