Why is this the only game my cpu can't handle, it drops my gpu utilization and my whole pc freezes every couple minutes.

[EliXsnipes]

My specs :Amd Ryzen 9 5950x 16 core :Gpu 3060, and I can play RDR2 and Gta5 at high graphics and other game fine, please help.

[Kidnoff]

To be honest, my CPU is at 40-50% usage. My Pc is sleeping, even in full Ultra. But the temperature of my CPU is too high. Can't play without melting my Pc. Full low setting change absolutly nothing for the temperature of my CPU. I try every combinaisons of settings, it just affect my GPU. And my RTX 4090 is sleeping even at full Ultra.

Yes, and I have the best gaming set up you can buy currently. It's the game itself.

This comment actually helps so much. I was under the impression i'd need to buy a new PC

maybe cap your cpu at 90%? im not sure

The freezing happens to everyone. There are two freezes a second apart every now and then.

CPU does run hot in this game. I have tried, but nothing seems to impact it.

try droping the object setting to low. it's one of the weird settings that murders fps

They should've never created Ue5, a beast rig cant even handle this game

[A Suspicious Crayon]

Neither game you mentioned is UE5, UE5 is completely different compared to other engines, next thing is, the games you mentioned are seriously old at this point, older than your CPU, Ue5 in its current version is really new and fairly advanced, it takes a lot of power to run UE5 Games.

Yes the game needs some optimization, but it ain't getting much better, at best a 10% uplift.

My CPU is sleeping. Usage is like at 40%-50%... I can try, but it's weird.

Yes I am aware that I did mention RDR2 and Gta5 but those game are way bigger than this and system can handle those

[EliXsnipes]

My rig shouldn't struggle on a game like this way smaller than those I mentioned.

And this is precisely why they keep asking the same question ^

So it's not the game at all, it's the amount of load it puts on your system, or how it engages with device drivers.


Nobody is saying this game in particular is flawless but when you use 11 year old game that does not scale beyond 4 CPU threads and absolutely does not stress GPU of that level and another game on the same engine that came out year sooner than your hardware did.. it really makes them irrelevant for such comparison.
Wheher they have seemingly bigger playing field or not.

Oh this again.

I see some of you have old systems but don’t understand this. Some may have bad CPU and GPU combo. Some of you problably have ♥♥♥♥ running in the background at the same time.

For those with newer high-end Intel CPUs. I thought this was weird, so I did some research. And it appears to be a hardware issue. Basically, you BIOS settings are telling the motherboard to deliver to much power to the cpu. Which will cause issues and instability on higher CPU load. This can be corrected in BIOS.

To OP.
Your CPU is above mine, same generation. Mine is AMD Ryzen 9 5900X 12 core and handles the game fine. I can even multitask with other applications. Zero issues.


In fact, I can start up Cyberpunk 2077 at the same time. And my CPU is still perfectly fine. GPU on the other hand in The First Descendant, will go down to single digit FPS. While 70 FPS in Cyberpunk 2077.

In title screen total system CPU usage is avg 25%. In game total system CPU usage is avg 40% with a -/+ 6% deviation.

My graphics card is a 3070TI. My resolution is 2560X1080 and my graphical settings are on high across the board. With DLSS turned on for quality. Vsync on. Ray tracing, frame generation and ray reconstruction is turned off. My GPU used to spike to 100% randomly and freeze the screen for 1-3 seconds. After I capped my FPS at 95. It now runs more stable.

Other than that. I have 32GB of ram.

GTA5 was released in 2013. Off course your CPU can handle this game.
Red Dead Redemption 2 released in 2018. Off course your CPU can handle this game. And I dear guessing that Rockstar Advanced Game Engine is superior to UE5.

UE5 sucks and have issues for sure. But unless your CPU is defective somehow, its not your CPU. The issue is somewhere else.

Maybe this will solve the issue?

UE5 sucks and have issues for sure. But your CPU issue is not the game. You may have a faulty CPU. But I'll bet the issue is your graphical settings does not match your GPU.

I have a 4060 and an I7-13700F, get a stable 100 fps with everything maxed, do get stuttering here and there though

I could look in my bios again, but the other day I reseted my bios settings to default just in case if anything changed.
