I observed recently while playing "Control" that a particular section of the game is making my system increase and then decrease power when I leave it running. Interestingly, this zone is known as The Furnace Room—probably because it contains a furnace. It really reflects what happens to my system upon entering that area. When paused, my system draws around 150-270 watts, but in The Furnace Room it spikes to 450-500 watts with all fans activated. Your system specs include a Ryzen 5950X, an EVGA XRC Ultra 3070, a 2TB PCIe NVMe SSD, 64GB of 3200MHz GDDR6 RAM, and an EVGA CLC 360 AIO with six fan push-pull cooling.

RTX support isn't ideal for ray tracing due to the challenges posed by dynamic light sources like flames. Their unpredictable behavior can significantly increase GPU workload.
