Cyberpunk uses a LOT of my ryzen 5600x

[aBigGoofyGamer]

According to game bar, it uses 70-80 percent of my cpu during normal play. I have a 3070 and get an average of 70-80 fps on ult with dlss on. My GPU usage is always at 100, so I'm not being bottlenecked. This also only occurs if I turn on any form of DLSS. This kind of thing happening to anyone else? Hell, is this normal?

75%to95% cpu usage on my 5900x depending on location in the game. It Is A LOT of game to run. Just montor the cpu and gpu temps

chill out dude its normal, i would be scared if those were are temps instead usage

I think at 1080p it's actually considerably worse and I simply don't use it (RTX 3070 at just over 1080p). Probably because the pixels on a biggish screen of that resolution are bigger than on a 4k screen you can immediately see the smoothing caused by the upscale and it's just... Yuck. And the results by using sharpening to compensate are suboptimal.

that's a relief. Just got off resetting windows thanks to unrelated issues, was not looking forward to troubleshooting again so soon. Thanks m8!

Single Core or Multi Core?The 5600X does only have 6 cores and Cyberpunk benefits from 8 and more cores.

DLSS would downscale your resolution and release the load on your CPU&GPU.The resolution looks really bad but it's for people who are struggling with old hardware.I wouldn't use this feature with a 3070. Just tweak your settings for better quality.

This doesn't sound accurate.I'm using a 5950X myself and even on the highest settings,the Multicore load is around 20-30% and the SingleCore load at around 80-90%.

how do I check that? I'm using win game bar and task manager to get these results. They don't specify the load percentage per core.

Core Temp is a decent program to see your core usage and temps.

That's not what I meant and that's not how DLSS works.You don't get more performance for free by simply enabling DLSS without sacrificing image quality.
DLSS 2.0 looks much smoother though,I give you that but you can clearly see the difference on 4K between DLSS on and off.
I'm currently running a RTX3090 and I even reduced my RayTracing settings to get a stable 60 FPS without DLSS, cause upscaled 4K looks so awful....

Honestly its about time, consoles have held back gaming development long enough with the attitude from devs being why make anything better than what can run on a console leaving pc users with games that barely scratch the potential of their hardware.
With better tech in consoles it raises the bar. I still wont buy a console however.

It's a performance intensive game. This is normal.

I doubt my specs are outdated. Otherwise, why release models with 6 cores lol. My cpu still outperforms my ryzen 7 2700x, which has 8 cores, specifically in this game.

thanks m8. Guess I'm not used to such demanding games. Tend to stick to games made round 2016-19
