So, does the game just not use your GPU?

[Pegarex]

Please just skip if you are going to say "her der, game bad/bad performance" or "Lol broke boi"

From what I can tell from my one hour of playing, it's not even touching the GPU for processing, and was only using it for the VRam. Is anyone else able to confirm this or am I just an isolated incident?

Nvidia GPU, most recent drivers

yeah im running on max settings with an OC 10900k and a 4070ti with no ray tracing enabled and im only getting 60fps? and its only using 30% of GPU and CPU, what gives?

The game is CPU limited in lots of places so you won't see your GPU being fully optimized. Hope patches will address the issue.

Welcome to AAA gayman.

When playing this game my GPU fans ramp up more than they do in most other games so I'd say its using my 5700XT a lot

You mean GAME limited cuz trash optimization, the game doesn't even use the CPU so how can it be limited by it in the first place.

That's the weird thing about this game, it isn't using CPU much either.

Most games don't scale to 8c/16t. Its a CPU limitation that will likely be fixed, if it cant be fixed then its a engine limitation.

Wrong, it's not a CPU limitation at all, it's poorly optimized junk of a port. Let's leave it at that.

It isn't really cpu-bottlenecked, it is more that this game fails to use the CPU OR GPU properly.

It's just downright broken as it uses neither component properly to begin with.

Calm down, it is what it is. I dont see huge limitations with a 13700k and a 4090 it drops to 80% usage at places but stays above 60fps for the most part at 5120x1440 max settings with RT, going to turn RT off and see if it better when I get a chance. Having a 4090 paired with a old CPU would make it much worse, cores don't matter IPC does.

The game itself is great without a doubt (EA version by the way, not Steam) but this is a shockingly bad PC version with extremely poor optimisation. This is yet another sub-par PC game sponsored AMD (honestly, how to they pick 'em???). I am starting to think that there is a conspiracy here because it cannot possibly be a coincidence that many of their recent sponsored games have been a disaster on PC.

On my PC (i5-13600KF, 32 GB DDR3600, 16 GB RTX 4080, Windows 11 Pro 22H2), the game can barely stay above 60 fps during gameplay and frequently dips below 30 fps, mostly during cutscenes. This is at 1440p on the Epic preset the game defaulted to but with RT enabled using the (lacklustre) FSR2 at Quality. If I disable RT and FSR2 and restart the game then the framerate only increases by about 5 fps and the same inconsistent performance remains.

CPU usage is around 40-50%, mostly around 45%, and GPU usage is so low that it actually clocked down during one sub-30 fps cutscene because utilisation was below 45%!!! Temperatures were not even exceeding 45 C; that is how underused the GPU is in this game.

The galling thing is that the game itself is fantastic from the 2 hours I've played but it really should not have been released in this state. EA could have delayed this a week and released it on May 4th instead but, nope, we are again beta testing the games for them. Oh, and AMD must be so proud of their sponsorship record...

youre annoying kiddo

[Caldrin]

MY CPU 7800x3d is at about 30% but my 7900xtx is 90% to 100%

So yeah it very much does use the GPU

You guys probably didnt check frequently enough. This isnt a problem that happens in every area.
