Any advice on how to fix Low GPU usage?

[Wolf]

Throughout the game I never get above 30 to 40% GPU usage no matter what I change, (I also do not have any Bottle Necks)

Since you do not feel the need of posting your specs we can only assume your CPU being a bottleneck here so... getting a better CPU?

Don't worry it's not just you..

I have a 7700X+6950XT with 32 gigs of ram and games installed on a Samsung 980 Pro M.2 SSD in the pci express 5 m.2 slot...it's not even utilizing the GPU, it's at 50% ish most of the time and CPU at 35-40% ish while only getting 60-80FPS mostly, if it were pushing the GPU correctly it would be in the 100's ... with ray tracing it STILL doesn't push the GPU and FPS stays around the same with it dropping into the 50's but, stays around the same GPU utilization of around 50-60% ... somethings wrong with it and it's not my system if other games push the GPU correctly..

I re-installed all drivers and even went into windows system-->display-->graphics section and added the game there and gave it high performance, still the same thing ..it's the game

Have to wait for a patch like everyone else including me that has this issue.

There's no CPU bottleneck at all even at 1080p the game doesn't even use the damn CPU. Know first what's happening before you say my man :/
The game for some issue is not using the CPU fully at all. It's a CPU bottleneck when the CPU is not even being used fully.
Here's a testing video I have done with RTX 3060 Ti & 9700K - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9CJDzcR6mPE
will do another one with 3070 Ti

Lol, nah bro...it's Def the game. 3080 super and 5950x do the same damn thing. My question is WHY!? It's UE4....it makes no sense.

This game is at the moment overly cpu bound. Hope they will manage to optimize it more. Barely using 50% cpu and gpu on my pc.

If you are playing at 4k the cpu shouldn't be no where utilized as much as the gpu that is unless you are playing at 1080p or 1440p then yes the cpu will be utilized more.
With most games I have playing at 4k the gpu is usually utilized at/around 99%, and the cpu is between 10%-40% depending on the game. Just my experience over the last few years.

Play at a higher resolution...your GPU utilization will go up

I've been monitoring my hardware utilization pretty thoroughly. Both my GPU and CPU max out at 85% usage. Considering that's on a 16 core CPU, in my case it's certainly a CPU bottleneck. Planning to upgrade to a 5800x3d very soon. Will be interesting to see if that noticeably affects performance.

[Serrassi Effect]

If I understood right, the game's CPU optimisation is so bad it doesn't even know how to fully use the CPU so it will cause it to bottleneck the game even though you have plenty of CPU power left.

[Geist]

There is nothing you can do. They have to patch the game.

Digital Foundry said the only thing that really makes it run better is turning off RT, lowering the view distance, and environmental density. Game is CPU bound like Spider-Man

Yeah, i play at 1440p.

[Starfox]

same problem here with 5800X3d and RTX 3090 :/
so disapointed : gpu usage only 25-30% and the same for cpu :/
game runs awful
(no problem on other game like spidermand remastered , plague tale requiem etc etc..)
the worst port I ve seen since many years :/

What do your individual CPU cores look like? I'm starting to think the game is incredibly CPU bound and doesn't multi-thread all that well. The primary cores it's running on get maxed out, and then the GPU is stuck waiting on information to be passed from the CPU.

I'm legit like 99% sure that's what's happening at this point.
