Low GPU usage

[Mr.Stonks]

Any tips to increase GPU usage? Warzone only utliaze 30-50% of my RTX 3070, so it runs like ♥♥♥♥. Can Barely hit 60fps. Singleplayer uses about 100%, multiplayer 80-100%, but Warzone runs like ♥♥♥♥. Season 3 differently made performance worse for me. Here is what I tried:

Updated Windows
Updated Graphics Drivers
Reverted back to recommended driver on Activisons website
Numerous graphic tweaks
Changed "Thread count for handling the job queue" in options.cod3
Changed "Set a target fraction of your PC's video memory to be used by the game" in options.cod3
Changed Nvidia control panel settings for optimal performance
Changed power setting for COD in Windows settings
Closed all background apps
Verified games files on Steam
Reinstalled shaders
Used GPUTweakill (ASUS program) for optimal GPU settings and "Gaming booster enable"
Checked that Anti Virisus program is not conflicted with COD
Turned on Windows Gaming Mode
Turned off Windows Gaming Mode
Change high DPI settings in application properties

Anything I missed or that worked for you? Plz I'm desperate. At this point, I'm convinced this game is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ♥♥♥♥ optimized.

They ♥♥♥♥ up all your settings in the game with S03....

Close game and steam
If you have played Campaign, copy and past the savegame.svg to another folder, from:

Your Doc folder/Call of Duty/Players/Numbers - then delete the call of duty folder.
All you settings in the game will be reset to default.

Open the game and do your prefered settings in M/KB, Graphics, Audio, Interface and network. Apply for each change when needed.

Close game, waith 15 sec. Restart and see if there is any improvement.

I did this and was back on fps, fixed graphics, loadouts, audio and matchmaking.
I have an RTX card

Will try, thanks

It is a simple long shot... But, I saw 2 last hour that got their problem fixed...

warzone is way more CPU intensive than multuplayer. You didn't list any of your specs so i almost guarantee your CPU is holding your GPU back especailly if its 1080p or 1440p.

I have a rather old i7-7700k, but It won't use more than 50% of my CPU? This is not normal right?

you have a 4-core processor you need a minimum 6-core processor for it to work without loss of fps in multiplayer for 1080p

Yeah I know it's not optimal. But my main focus is on the low utilization, in Warzone my GPU & CPU only run 30-50%, but for multiplayer it uses 80-100% on both, surely it's also an optimization issue?

See if this help

You're using a 4 core cpu that is underpowered for your card and the 50% means nothing, you need to pay attention to individual cores maxing out

It doesn't matter. the % usage really describes how many cores and the utilization of those cores the game uses and the IPC of that CPU is very slow compared to modern CPU's which really plays a huge factor in your performance. However, your CPU is very old and not suited for Warzone, as I suspected. This is a classic CPU bottleneck. Need to upgrade. Depending on your GPU, you will see massive framerate increase when your GPU can be fed.

Alright thanks, already looking to upgrade :)

Late reply but, if you're looking for a fairly cheap upgrade the 5000 series ryzens are the way to go, i went for a 5600 with a b550m ds3h that got me to around 250 eur, 140-150 for the cpu 100-110 for the mobo, if the 5600x is only 10-20 eur more for you then i'd grab it for more overclocking power, a 5600 can be oced to perform like a 5600x, but when a 5600x is oced its a good chunk quicker, 5700x and 5800x are also good choices if you want 8c 16t instead of 6c 12t

BS. CPU utilization DOES matter. WZ2 has a higher CPU utilization rate on Battlenet for me than on Steam.

Thanks for your reply. I'm currently looking at all types of different CPU's, but my eyes are on the 5800x3d. Really like that CPU, as i like sim tittels
