When playing my cpu is at 100%?
my specs
i9 12 gen
32 ram
rtx 3080Ti

Check the windows power plan for what setting you chose. Like Balance, performance, etc. And then go to advanced setting and then click processor management and then minimum processor state. If the minimum processor state is at 100% change it.

Make sure you have enough ventilation and cooling going through your PC case. This game hits your CPU hard. I had to alter my case to bring playing temperatures down from 100C to around 60-70.

Are you playing with fps uncapped? The game is really CPU intensive in some scenarios, it almost maxes out my r5 7600x at 60fps in some places.

If you are using some mods increasing crowd or vehicules density is very CPU demanding too

No mods just base game

Yes am playing it uncapped at 1080p. should i cap it at 60fps?

When your hardware is being used more than you like it, then yes. Limiting fps is one of the ways to reduce heat generation and noise.

Excepting I have a RTX3090, I have the same, but I don't top out at 100%.

Be sure to keep your system clean. (Microsoft doesn't help anymore because they stick their own and their partners' useless CPU-impacting stuff in new installs and every feature update as opt-out features instead of opt-in... sometimes turning features back on even though you manually turned them off prior.)

Yes system is clean. only this game and the new Battlefield hit 100 cpu usage. no other games give me problems.

Got my new system on cyberpunk 2077 and on ultra + rt low it runs on like 80 - 125 fps with 90 average, everything going good til I see 100% cpu usage. I'm guessing it's a framerate limit thing or DLSS. Try capping your framerate or turning off DLSS

Sounds like you have Multi threading disabled and only 8 Threads available. Disabled the slow e-cores and removed multi threading on the p-cores?

It got to be it otherwise your PC is running other programs or malware.

Is your CPU idling at 0-1% when not doing anything?

Don't think this is a 2077 problem but an issue on your PC. And i cannot figure out why everyone is talking about GPU when it is not related to CPU usage.

Think the Power Plan suggestion was the only possible solution so far, but has nothing to do with usage.

Gosh this is an old topic. But perhaps a good think the leave for people falling over this through a search engine if they have similar CPU ISSUES!

Look in bios and perhaps check if windows is using the CPU properly.
