why does this game use 0% gpu but 80+% cpu?

[Fumetsu Kage]

on top of that it heats my CPU to 99C, is this going to be patched? i can't risk killing my cpu just to play this game.

Sounds like a user specific issue to me and not From's problem. learn how to use your computer first because it sounds like you deactivated your GPU.
Using a non-standard desktop definitely sounds like you screwed something up and don't want to admit it.

I'm using a 3060 and 11600k (desktop) and also getting very high cpu temps in the mid 80s peaking at the high 80s doing horseback fights and stuff. Have you used a different hardware monitor to check GPU usage? Task manager also shows elden ring process using 0% for me, but HWinfo or afterburner shows my gpu usage around 50-70%

task manager is all i have to monitor the usage

Well it doesn't work right and hasn't for going on years. It's generally okay in DX10/DX11 games, but it almost universally doesn't work well in DX12 games.

Get Afterburner[www.msi.com]

If you're lazy like me and don't want to download anything, hitting alt + r at your desktop or in-game brings up a little nvidia overlay that shows gpu and cpu usage plus fps.

idk I'm seeing 8%-10% CPU usage with a 3700X playing at 1440p 60 fps max settings. The CPU is really chilling like not even 43º C. For sure they could move some gfx processing into the CPU but then maybe that could risk performance on Steam Deck... I think part of the reason the CPU is barely breaking a sweat is the rudimentary AI and mechanical animations, not that I dislike them but it is what it is.

I have a 11600k and my temps jump to 85-90c too.
(and it's not my cooling, i have 5 noctua fans and a chromx.black)

yea this is the only game that has this issue
as for specs

11600k bro here too... cpu is high 80s.

I think that's going to be normal on air. Even an NH-D15 with 2x 140mm fans, while an awesome cooler, is still going to have some issues staying below 80-90C with an 11600K that is running at 4.9GHz turbo.

I run an i7-6800K at 4.2GHz allcore and I can maintain about 55-65C, but my CPU is old trash that can't even run stable beyond 4.6GHz and at 4.7GHz it runs at over 105C because it requires 1.425v vCore or more to even get it to sort of run and it's just too much for the die and my NH-D15 with 2X AF-140 fans (in my PC case anyway).

High 80's are fine for any modern CPU anyway. 95C is where you should be concerned, IMO. Hell all of Intel's 10th and 11th gen laptop CPUs run between 90-100C routinely. It's standard fare and not at all even dangerous. Lead-free solder doesn't melt until around 115C, which is why the the safe temps have been 100-105C forever. They are being careful with the TCase and TjMax temps we see, keeping them at least 10-15C below critical.

Im thinking so too, unless they patch something to reduce the cpu stress.
no other game has this problem, not even close. I might try turning off turbo via the bios, it's nice but not really-really needed.

If you really want to check your limits, try Prime95 (any version with AVX) on Small FFT and create one instance per CPU thread. Just watch what it does adamantly with HWMonitor or AIDA Extreme sensors and be ready to pull the plug if temps get too high, but honestly... people worry way too much about CPU temps. Your CPU is more than able to handle 24/7 80-90C temps, basically indefinitely if need be.

Hopefully the devs will get the costs for CPU pre-rendering down lower too with some patches, but I really wouldn't worry until you're actually crossing the 100-105C threshold or so anyway.

no i don't have an integrated gpu, i have a gtx 3060, and i'm using a desktop that is mostly not standard

All mother boards have an integrated GPU (or 90% of them at least) That's why you can connect your screen to a computer not having a dedicated GPU.
Check that yours isn't launching the game in your GPU panel

Motherboards don't have an intergrated GPU, the CPU does sometimes and that would be considered an APU.

btw there was a patch or something that was supposed to fix this but didn't for me, will there be another? or should i just refund the game?

taken from today https://puu.sh/INsNC/b938a88256.png
still not fixed, i'm at 2.8h should i just refund this?

Is the GPU usage reported in Task Manager important? I don't think there is an issue, just an inaccurate value due to the DX12 API.

Use a different monitoring tool or change the utilisation view in Task Manager as described by this user: https://linustechtips.com/topic/1049404-fun-and-games-with-task-managers-gpu-page/

[Joee_Kool ⛟]

Teh game runs like ♥♥♥♥ and they should revert to day one imo game ran fine for way more ppl.

[Joee_Kool ⛟]

I have videos of day one gameplay 8 hours long and it was amazing. now its unplayable I cant even fight two tree sents without it pooping out

yes it is important because ingame i'm getting 2-20fps constantly going between the extremes, and cooking my cpu same as before reaching up to 100C now
