I’m diving into Rebirth and noticed something odd—the GPU wattage starts off fine but drops significantly after 5-10 minutes of gameplay. During cutscenes, the GPU usage plummets to 0%, causing the game to freeze, and I have no choice but to restart the whole system. Does anyone know how to fix this issue?

The issue might stem from you maxing out your RAM and VRAM capacities. If your system is running out of these resources, it could cause the GPU usage to drop in an attempt to compensate. Monitoring your usage during critical points in the game can provide more insight, especially if you’re close to those limits.
When it comes to GPU usage and settings, typically, the GPU Frequency is the fixed factor. Meanwhile, the TDP is an upper cap, meaning it’ll only use what’s necessary. If the game doesn’t tap into all the power available, it might be more of a game optimization issue rather than a hardware setting problem.
I suggest you look into whether any power-saving settings are enabled, as they can lower TDP during gameplay. Try disabling these settings if you haven’t already. Also, check to make sure that your performance overlay is activated, which can help identify any unusual behaviors. Sometimes it’s just one setting that’s being overlooked.
One possible reason for this issue is if you’ve set the GPU power limit too low. Make sure the limit isn’t restricting performance. Also, fluctuations in TDP aren’t always troublesome—they can be normal as long as your FPS remains stable. However, your cutscene freezing seems like a bug that others have faced. It might be worth checking out discussions on forums, as sometimes they have practical workarounds or solutions that people have shared.
