I tried bringing frames down to 30 and messed a little with a custom game profile but I think I’ll have to drop graphics to medium or low for any real tangible difference. And that I’m just not willing to do! So it’s a couch outlet game for me at the moment. Fallout 4 uses less juice. Maybe it’s just poorly optimized?
XCOM2 - trying to play anything to make the wait to Starfield bearable!
Edit: adding to this that it’s a HOG on the battery which blows my mind considering its not all that graphically impressive.
It’s all the calculations xcom makes to ensure the move you made was the wrong move draining the battery 😁
X-Com spends a lot of cycles recalculating a 99% success rate in order to hand you a miss.
Truer words!
Did you try manually setting the TDP? In Civ VI I set it to 7W (default graphics) and it has helped quite a bit.
