FPS drop when zooming in

[Soveu]

Well, my laptop isn't a particularly powerful one (Ryzen 2500U with integrated Vega 8) and while trying to play Factorio on a 4K screen I noticed that the game runs better when camera is zoomed out. This is kinda weird - from my understanding, while zoomed in, the game has to render less items, so FPS should be higher, right? This seems to be clearly a GPU bottleneck, because CPU usage also drops.




I'm curious what is the reason behind this
OS is Fedora Linux 35

What is Settings -> Graphics -> Sprite resolution set to? If "High" (which it looks like from the screenshots), does changing it to "Normal" improve things?

[Soveu]

No, changing sprite resolution to Normal doesn't change anything.

It looks like the time is being spent in draw-engine and Flip[off] (whatever that means)

Flip is the time it takes for the rendered picture to be displayed. High values are usually driver/OS issues.
