I was wondering why my game kept crashing and freezing and I checked task manager, turns out Humankind uses 100% of my gpu. I dont have total potato of a pc and I run games just fine but Humankind for some reason takes up over 90% of my gpu even on the main menu. Anyone else have this problem and knows the fix? Or do I just have to wait for a update?

Do you have the same results with the "Good" video quality setting?

Yes, the same thing happens with better settings. Right now my game is on the lowest quality level "Fastest" and the performance doesn't differ from the highest quality level to the lowest.

Hi, 

I have RX 5700 XT and in main menu, with frames locked to 60, the game is using about 40-60% (something around 50%) of GPU on Good quality level. With Fantastic setting it goes up to 90% (In main menu with 60FPS lock)

Well I fixed my problem with the gpu usage just by capping the fps limit to 30. But I guess now my biggest issue isnt the game taking 100% of my gpu (after capping fps its 30% of my gpu), now I have frequent crashes which is great >:).

Usually a 4X game does not take much graphic resource.

To be honest, the GPU usage of this game is much far beyond my forecast.

I think more optimization should be done for this game.

It's said Minimum is GTX770 and Recommendation is GTX1060 or over. 

At least, if I'm using recommendation VGA(GTX1060), I should have been able to run under 50% usage. with Good option + 30 fps.

But I'm running Fast option + 20 fps + more NVDIA setting. (almost lowest option)

Yeah, I have an overclocked 3080 Ti and this game uses more GPU resources than pretty much any other game i've played. At 3440x1440 with Fantastic settings I peak at around 109FPS in-game, which doesn't even meet my monitor's refresh rate. That's less FPS than I get in Total War: Warhammer 2 with everything maxed out at Ultra and an in a huge battle. Seems very poorly optimised.

I also am facing very poor performance. Stuttering audio and slow load times..

I run a AMD Ryzen 7 3800X 8-Core 3.9GHz, AMD Radeon RX 580 8GB and 32GB of RAM..

and yet it struggles regularly on any graphics setting..

Hello Guys,


Is there any progress or patch or anything?

I am a newcomer, just started to play few days ago but this heavy GPU is extreme.

Above 90% all the time, GeForce RTX 2060 Super 8GB, i5-6500 3.20GHz, 16 GB DDR4, 3840x2160.

I don't think my video card is a low end one, so what can I do.

Any idea welcome!

Thanks in advance

Our team has been working hard on optimization, so it should be better once we release the next update, but of course I can't say for sure how much it will improve for your particular system.
