Seems like client is mining bitcoins on my GPU. Usually GPU utilisation 35% - 65% either during battle or in mechlab. But from time to time utilisation raising to 100% and do not lowering even if i do nothing in game. Such state can durate for 30 minutes, and suddenly without doing nothing it becamse normal around 35-40. Any workarounds?

You sure it's not other programs running?

Yes, i'm sure
Here some pictures of utilisation

1. In the lab - doing nothing


2. During battle


3. Utilisation increase at random time during random battle


4. Mechlab after such battle - doing nothing


5. Here what happens when i exit game

[KursedVixen]

have you checked Geforce software for driver updates?


have you tried lowering you in game video settings?

But why? It happens from time to time. For example day before yesturday was without such issue, but yesturday it happened again. So i can say settings are ok. Seem like smth in game client triggers some activity. I think it is bitcoin mining

• It is a laptop
  
• Is the Power Settings set to high performance or Balance? Change to High performance.
  
• What other programs were running, especially Chrome?
  
• Is hardware acceleration enabled in Chrome?
  
  • Have seen similar results on laptops and Chrome w/hardware acceleration enabled. Went away once the acceleration went away or Chrome was completely closed down. Make sure that allow apps to continue to run is turned off too.
• Logging in via Steam or Standalone patcher? Steam will also have hardware acceleration enabled by default for its webpages.
  
• Screenshot that includes the Performance info for the other components, such as the CPU usage and speed. Leaning more into Chrome + laptop.

Today it happend again:


Here are GPU processes:



And CPU processes:



Yesturday Chrome and same applications also were running, but issue did not reproduced. Today it happened. No dependancy what mech, what map. Just randomly at some battle.

Today one more strange thing happened - after game restart GPU utilisation was kept at 100% for 10-15 munites and then it droped to ~30% while i was doing nothing.

Such valuable comment, thank you.

I Basically have the same problem on some places on basically all maps.
It started when Comp Queue opened.

E3, E4, and F4 Area on Turmaline - 170FPS down to 30FPS with mech warping around.
My GPU jumps from 60% to 100%.
I just cant go there.

Same on mining. I cant run up the Wall at the spawnpoints without going from 170FPs down to 60FPS. Same jump in GPU utilization.
While 60FPS sound fine and feels a lot better concerning my own Movement, any mech I look at is stuttering over the map as if its 1985 and 10FPS was normal.

I have 0 packet loss, just my normal 100ms ping.
I play with guys from all over europe.
Basically all of have that problem from time to time.

Before anybody asks, no i dont have a dying Intel 13th or 14th generation
Other games are all playing normal.
I Made sure to close any other Programm, that is known to cause problems, like fiorefox and chrome.

probibly not mining. thing to look at is the memory usage. you couldnt do etherium on a 4-gig card when i was mining on a 2070 super. i had a 1060 which was turning a profit still but a 750ti which couldn't fit the dag. you had to have room for the dag. your card does not have enough memory allocated to be mining. i stopped because i couldn't turn a profit anymore, even with cheap hydro power.

probibly not bitcoin. you need asics to make any headway on btc at this point. gpu mining would be pissing in the wind. etherium classic, ravencoin, idk what survived the end of gpu mining, but most of the algorithms out there eat a lot of vram.
