[–] Pazuzu@sh.itjust.works 13 points 3 years ago* (2 children) 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. permalink fedilink source hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Myspleen@lemmy.world 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) It's all the calculations xcom makes to ensure the move you made was the wrong move draining the battery 😁 permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rotopenguin@infosec.pub 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) X-Com spends a lot of cycles recalculating a 99% success rate in order to hand you a miss. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] rhacer@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Truer words! permalink fedilink source parent [–] yacgta@infosec.pub 3 points 3 years ago (1 child) Did you try manually setting the TDP? In Civ VI I set it to 7W (default graphics) and it has helped quite a bit. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Pazuzu@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 years ago 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? permalink fedilink source parent
