Almost empty scene eats 90% GPU power on certain PCs

[twilit sparrow]

So recently, I shared a Lobby test with few friends, but on one of the friend's PCs, it sucked up 90% GPU power (and his PC aint' no potato)

It was an empty 3D scene, with some basic main menu GUI linked to edited version of Code Monkey's lobby tutorial script (first time I am doing networking in unity)

On like other 3 PCs everything ran fine. I even tried sending him a build where FPS was limited to 60 and Vsync turned off.

I am not really sure how to detect/fix where the problem is.
(ping me if you respond)

The only way to figure it out is profile on their pc.

It's okay if the game uses 100% of the GPU power. This means that the CPU is able to prepare a lot of frames for the GPU. The only way to "limit" the GPU usage is to set the fps cap

is your friend using a laptop?

[twilit sparrow]

he has a desktop

I had 2 friends who were using laptop, for one it was fine, other had problems (although his laptop is kinda bad, so I just ignored it... not sure if I should)

I used to be a OOP dev for years and never really got into advanced stuff in unity (well, I made some larger stuff, but never really interacted with advanced systems) so I am wondering whats wrong

I'll surely the the profile thing as dlich suggested

90% and how many fps is he getting?

can check some stats onscreen live with something like msi afterburner + Rivatuner

[unreal nova]

maybe there is an iGPU in their PC and the game uses it

🤔

thx for the tips

Without knowing the framerate this information means very little.

If it's 90% CPU at 1000 fps, that's not an issue

kind of doubt it for PC, iirc, unlike laptops which can directly choose gpu to use, in PC, you need to actually set this on bios and plug the monitor into the iGPU output.
