Low gpu usage / fps capped / game stuttering

[백문]

When I open the game,my gpu usage it's like 100% on title screen,but when I in the game it's like 50%~60% and fps capped at 60 with stutter.

I tried everything ,turn off vsync,change resolution,disable frame rate target in amd adrenaline,reinstall driver and all of them doesn't work

Can someone help? It's so frustrating

Spec：amd 3700x / 7900xtx / 120hz 4k monitor

If it is constant steady 60 maybe it is some stuck setting. Deleting Larian userdata folders could be fastest and easiest to fully reset settings. Remember to take save game for safe keeping.

Or some external fps limiter program you use. Fps can be limited from adrenalin, from rivatuner etc…

If it is variable fps around 60 fps it could be that your one cpu core hits 100% load and does not feed gpu fully.I have come across areas where even 5950x cpu has hard time with single core perf.

1. Make sure you disable depth of field; that created big problems for me on both NVidia and AMD cards.

2. Your CPU is way too slow for your GPU. Basically, the CPU is telling your GPU what to render, and it can't give the commands fast enough, so the GPU can't run at 100%. (Baldur's Gate is relatively CPU hungry to begin with.) You may wanna bite the bullet and upgrade your motherboard to an AM5 socket and get a 7800x3d or something if you want your GPU to run at closer to 100%.

What's the monitor settings in Adrenalin ?
What monitor cable are you using ? (DP/HDMI, which version) ? DP1.2 caps at 60FPS at 4K...

Thanks everyone, I think my 3700x bottleneck my 7900xtx

In my tests of these cpu heavy spots, vulkan was superior api easing the cpu load. I have nvidia however.

Look the BG3 test at 13.18 min in this video:

5800x3d is very good upgrade for this game. It allow allmost douple the fps in this game compared to 3700x.
