    Hi Mario,

    Does it happens in other games? I would install something like hwinfo and monitor your temperatures. Could be overheating or/and perhaps overclocking.

    Alternatively you could do a check it on a monitor, driver reinstall, verify cache of AMS2 or even back up AMS2 folder in my documents and start anew.

    Thank you,
    Marius

    AMS2 can hammer the GPU pretty badly with particles (and possibly smoke/dirt). I can get it maximize usage of my RTX 4080S at 99% and 320 Watts (Report with video). If your GPU is overcloked or not stable at max load or it your PSU is at its limit due to crazy wattage, it could be that. This crazy high GPU usage should really be looked into as it is not good at all.

    In my experience, thick dust layer on the cooler fan made same issues on my friend's PC.
