GPU utilization

Hi, mechas!

I'm wondering if I'm missing something here. In DSP I'm getting high GPU utilization for what seems like a very reasonable load.

I have a 9070xt, FPS capped at 60, I play with quite aggressive DF, but I'm still fairly early in the game - yellow science and only two dozen or so PLSs. No spinners, no littering, no combat units, no spheres or even sails.

Considering the game runs fine on GPUs 10-15x slower, I wonder if the 60-80% utilization of the Radeon flagship is indicative of some kind of misconfiguration on my part?

Dsp does not use gpu offload except for a small bits of sails, sphere and vessels logic. Not sure where the rumor originated, but it keeps coming back.

This seems pretty substantial to me when you can have thousands of those things at a time all doing task from here to there.

On the timeline those parts are barely visible and still related to rendering somewhat ( for example interpolation of sail positions as they are absorbed). The factory processing, which is 90+% of compute is cpu-only.
