Getting 100% cpu usage
i get about 60-70 fps, sometimes i drop to about 50 which isnt a huge deal but im wondering if anyone knows a easy fix.
i have a i5-9600k
my memory usage is also about 60% and i have 16gb of ddr4
would upgrading this fix some issues? its obvious my cpu and or ram may be the only issues as my gpu is at about 20%

CPU usage in this game shouldn't be that high, there can be spikes, but not 100% for long periods of time. As for GPU, it should be at 98-100%. RAM usage is ok. Im playing with 6600k, and I don't get usage that high, so upgrading won't solve anything IMHO.

Test your CPU, check for overheating, disable any OC you might have done. And as always, background processes in Windows can cause a lot of issues. Good luck ;)

Just limit your CPU from task manager to use only 3 cores for the game. I have the same CPU and this fixed my issue.

Yes, run the game then change that by right clicking the app in task manager.

after the change it looks like it went to about 70-80% which is a huge difference for the consistent 100%, is there any reason id need it at 6 for this game or is 3 cores good forever now
and no im not a doctor i only know some things because my uncle is a IT grad and helped me build my pc

So it did help? Nice! That usage is more along the lines of what it should be. You can play with those settings and see what changes, I haven't done that since I don't need to.

No worries dude, you did your own thing, I did mine. We are past that ;)

What's your other games. RDR2 is straight up open world, zero zones. So you forcing the potato cpu to soak in all the environment happenings around you plus the great graphic .. you bound to get performance dips
