Unusually low cpu usage.

[Wikidd]

Evga 3080 paired with a 12700k. Gpu is running at 90%-100%. The cpu however is always less than 5% 😅 Which doesn't seem right at all. Performance is so so, 55-60ish fps at 1440p with everything set to epic and raytracing. Fsr disabled obviously. Get random drops and had a few hard crashes but game is still somewhat playable. Changing setting doesn't seem to really do much as far as visuals or performance. Still think it's odd that its only utilizing 3%-5% cpu.

Just made it through jedah having spent most of my time on kobah so far. Hoping some the this gets straighted out in the coming weeks to improve the experience.

i have similar specs and am using more cpu than that. Are you on windows 11? windows 10 doesn't support/isn't optimized to use the big little architecture of the 12000 and 13000 cpus.

Also, a lot of gpu utilities will not be telling the truth when it comes to cpu usage because of some bug. Check with task manager to see the truth.

You are doing just fine if you get good GPU usage. I have ~35-40 fps with RT enabled on RTX 4090 and RT disabled I get about 50-60 fps. GPU is running ~40%. Resolution 3440x1440.

What software are you running to determine cpu %?

Afterburner and revatuner

Well yeah, that's why this game doesn't work right. Improper CPU utilization which in turn also causes improper GPU utilization because the GPU is always waiting on the CPU.

That's why you constantly see 50% GPU and 10-20% CPU usage in this game.

How recently have you updated Afterburner? I was having the same issue of it reporting very little cpu usage and the latest version fixed it for me.

why do people always post there total cpu usage?? a game can bottleneck on 1 core and be cpu bottlenecked

because it's an important metric? pretty basic stuff

I think so but I'll certainly check. Thanks.

Because I feel it's relevant information when all other games show a "normal" utilization and survivor is hanging at 3%-5%. We all know the game isn't performing property I was just sharing my findings.

I haven;t seen a game that uses 100% of all cores in a decade, the more cores you have the less usage your going to see, especially when a game doesn't use hyper threading, your already down to 50%

I think doom eternal may be the only game that really uses a full cpu
Your ALWAYS going to be limited to single core cpu perfomance, even more so in games that are very poorly optimized, but UE4 sucks in general for CPU utilization

Win11 22H2, RTX 3060 12GB, Ryzen 5 3600 (not that great I know). I play on high settings, without RT and 1080p with the mod that enables native resolution.

For me the games appears to use just 2 cores and not even at the same time. CPU #0 is at 20-40% usage and after a while it switches to CPU #1 and the usage is about the same, other cores and threads stay at 0%. As soon as I close the game other cores/threads seemingly wake up and they're usage bounce to at least 20%. These are just results what coretemp and HWmonitor tell me. GPU usage is around 50-60% and I get 40-70fps depending on the area I'm at.
