GPU power issue (only in WT)

Hello everyone.
Using some translator so…

Since November Ive been having some problems with GPU power consuming and load.

For experiment I locked FPS to 60, set Max graphics with DLSS 4 Native/TAA (no difference) without SSAA and RT. GRB.
Under normal conditions GPU load keeps within the limits of 40-60% with 80-90W power.
But randomly it can start loading 99% with the same consumption and FPS dropping (sometimes alot).

Then I UN-locking FPS to max.
Aaand… nothing changes. Still 99%, same FPS (no rising) and power consuming.
The way out: GPU randomly start using more power or restart the game.

Specs:
2K Monitor
i3-12100f (in-game load around 40-50%)
32Gb DDR5 6000MHz
RTX 5060 Ti 8Gb (VRAM consuming at max settings - ~7Gb)
SSD Samsung M.2 980 500Gb

This happening only in WT. Other games dont have this issue.
In Furmark GPU using all power stable - 180W.
Does someone else have this problem?

On my system, GPU utilization is higher in the hangar than in actual battles — approximately 90% in the hangar versus 50–70% in-game.
Specs:
Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RTX 5070 12 GB, 32 GB DDR5

Same, but it is happening in battle. Btw when returning to hangar - issue remains.

Yup. And it happens with all GPUs AFAIK. I had 3070, now i have 5080 and game can just randomly lock itself in 10-15 FPS while usually running at 300+ with 100% GPU utilization and extremely low CPU usage.
This thing has been an issue for a year already(basically since they implemented DX12).
Usually this happens on DX12 only, but i had some of my friends complaining about this on DX11 recently too.
It’s also kinda funny because it can happen not in every camera mode. For example i can have stable 300 FPS in 3rd view but 10 FPS in scope.
Most people agree that there’s a severe memory leak issue in Dagor engine

I replaced my old GTX 1660 Ti in August 2025 and it was working stable for full power all time with FHD monitor.

Same, and I have a 9070 XT.

Sometimes during battles, the GPU goes from 80% utilization to 100% utilization for no reason at all, and FPS starts dropping hard. Happens a lot when I make a tree fall, and that I’m very close of it. But sometimes it happens in random places as well.

Also, the GPU goes 100% utilization when I look at the new building made in the hangar, for premium vehicles.

Maybe it is the 1440p and higher resolutions problem?
I am using 1440p monitor.

I have 2560x1080 monitor for about 3 years now
Didn’t notice anything like this untill DX12 implementation
