Civ 6 casually 50% loading all cores in pause menu: ๐
Better than 100% on one and nothing on any of the others.
Why would you expect pausing a game to use less memory?
It should at least use less CPU. What work could it be doing other than playing the music?
I agree with that, though I suspect it's still running the full render pipeline in the background but I was particularly confused about why OP expected memory usage to drop
Yeah I agree with you there. I'd say the OS should at least cache some of that to swap after X minutes of activity in preparation of a full suspend, but yeah in principle the memory shouldn't change.
IIRC there was a game that when you open a pause menu ran at like 1000 fps, frying people's GPUs
It was Amazon's MMO. Not that it was the game's fault for causing physical damage but the main menu's framerate was uncapped. The funny thing is that's the only thing that was publicised and now remembered from the release of that game.
I've heard that Factorio did that for a bit
If it was made nowadays, 2 GB VRAM wouldn't be enough by a long stretch.
And yes, can confirm with amdgpu_top, pipeline is still full while switching out (k-hippie 4k textures was too much for my iGPU).
Be happy we get 10 more years of that instead of a built from the ground up sequel!
Who needs to fix things from the ground up when you can just throw in more and more code! You can just fix it with more code!
Arrrrrrrrrr.
if I tried opening 3 tabs my laptop would start flying by how fast the ventilator apparently starts spinning
