100% CPU usage, 40% GPU... what?

[BoopDub]

Im using a 1080ti with an i7 8700k... i know, my cpu is "old". But any single player game make me this...

The game doesn't go above 45-48fps in open areas regardless of graphics settings. It's ridiculous for me to have been playing Resident Evil 4 Remake couple days ago at full graphics / 2K resolution above 60fps and that this particular game is doing so badly for me...

I know that visually it's very nice and that, maybe I need a component upgrade... but it saddens me to have to do it for just ONE GAME.

Wait for shaders to compile before playing. the 8700k should have no issue pushing a 1080 ti.

It took me more than 30 minutes, I waited for it to fully compile everything. The CPU usage issue is still there. And the GPU doesn't use it in its entirety...

Do you have anything running in the background?

As long as you hit 99% on the CPU, you have a CPU bottleneck - for whatever reason and so the CPU and not feed the GPU properly.

Seems to be a bug - did you update your drivers to most recent version for the 1080Ti?

Any fancy stuff running in the background? MSI Afterburner, RGB software, monitoring stuff...

Literally nothing, I disable everything before playing to get maximum performance. In cutscenes and photo mode, the game give me 70-80fps, but in open areas stays at 45 without going up... Vsync disabled.

When starting the game first time, it recommended me to update to the latest version of Nvidia drivers. I updated it before I started building shaders.

THis game does use higher cpu usage on older cpu's. I suggest you tweak the settings and use amd fsr2.

My i5 12400 is getting 90% usage in this game too. for a non open world game...

When it goes down to 45fps is that when your CPU is at 100% and GPU is at 40%?

This is what I mentioned at the beginning. It does not matter if it is in minimum or maximum quality. With FSR or not, the game doesn't increase fps in "open" areas (like fleeing while carrying the daughter at the beginning of the game).

In every "open" world (like fleeing while carrying the daughter at the beginning of the game). But if i press "photo mode", fps increase above 60

A lot of Ubisoft games have the CPU overload and the GPU hardly touched so they use Vulcan drivers to force GPU usage.

I5 12400? really? That cpu is quite new.

I've been getting anxiety about upgrading the cpu for a while now, but there wasn't a game that actually asked me to do it. It depresses me TLOU... I've really been waiting for it for a long time, I haven't even watched the HBO series expecting to have the full experience on PC.

Lowering most graphics settings or using FSR will only increase a CPU Bottleneck.

it has nothing to do with old software or parts one bit. if you can run resident evil 4 remake above 40fps stable and cpu and gpu below 100% then this game is the problem not your pc. even on low everything this is using more vram then it should and even better pcs nothing changes itll still max it out. not very optimised
