High GPU usage after recent one of the recent hotfixes.

[Pillagius]

After one of the recent hotfixes, most likely Wednesday or Thursday one started getting weird FPS drops - started noticing the issue around that time.

During missions or just in Orbiter every few seconds FPS would drop from 75-85fps down to 50-60fps and then instantly back up to 80fps, creating an annoying "hiccup".

Turns out it's my GTX 1050 Ti usage spiking to 100%, while CPU and RAM usage seem to remain completely unaffected and staying pretty low even in open world maps.

 

After checking integrity and optimizing cache problem persisted. Reinstalling game didn't help either.

Turning off "High Dynamic Range" and "High Shader Quality" nearly doubled FPS and got rid of the visual "hiccup"/"lagspike" effect.

Still, GPU usage can go up to 90% in missions, although less often than before tweaking graphics settings.

What is even more awkward: in Orbiter GPU usage stays at 90%! Also GPU usage spikes to 90% whenever I open menus during missions or in Orbiter.

 

Anybody else experiencing something similar?
