How to fix 100% CPU in TLOU?

[sezy]

Its the only game that uses 100%cpu and 40%gpu for me :) So dont even tell me upgrade pc or something

[stage]

The only way for me was to cap the frames at 60.

[ChickenBalls]

ask for a refund and buy it again when its been fixed and 50% off
problem solved!

Did you let shaders finish compiling before you started the game?

Game are CPU-intensive so try cap the frames at 60 ;-)
Here, game in 1080p and uncaped frames:

And here with 60FPS CAP and 1440p

Yeah

Same problem, shaders loads- I5 9600k

The I5 9600k may need the frame rate capped at 30 FPS. I'm not even sure it meets the minimum requirements for this game.

For most users with less than 10 cores, the CPU typically determines frame rates. Once you get past 10 Core CPUs, then the GPU is more likely to determine the frame rate.

The developers need to fix this. The usage is high even after your shaders have been compiled.

Game are CPU-intensive also GPU so what to fix here?

I got on uncaped frames at ULTRA in 1440p bot, CPU and GPU almost MAX utilization.

Caping at lower frames help high CPU usage. I really dont know its possible make any fix that lower CPU usage... maybe reengine entire game...

Yeah mines spiking

As far as I know there is no way to lower CPU usage other than fps cap. DLSS may have a tiny CPU load effect but not sure and most likely not worth to switch it off.
Some people say that more and faster RAM can help. Same with nvme ssd. It’s because pc uses CPU power to move and decompress data. Consoles have hardware decompression. Check if you have xmp on and your RAM isn’t working at ridiculously slow 2133Mhz what I think is default setting for intel. Tons of people forget to turn it on.
Resizable Bar may also help CPU as more data is available at once. Smart access memory from amd works even better.

Interesting that my CPU (Ryzen 3950x) has like 30% load. It’s my Radeon 5700xt that get hammered hard at 99% load all the time.

sell your pc get a PS5

Ryzen 5 3600 at 4.3 GHz is enough for me to get 60 fps for 99% of the game for me, on a 5700 XT.

What settings?

1080p60, Ultra, FSR2 Quality, Textures on High, Effect Textures on Medium
