CPU and GPU not fully utilized

[Jikunj]

My PC has the following specs
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
RTX 4080 S

The game is running with standard Ultra settings stable on 60-80 fps in the benchmark which is completly fine for me.

But for some reason neither CPU nor GPU are fully utilized
CPU is around 40-50% and GPU around 10-50%

My monitor is able to do 144hz.

if u run at higher than 1080p yes, but strange, gpu should be able to get higher utilization. u should check gpu wait

Makes sense, because its most some specific singe cores/threads that are fully loaded and not the whole CPU (all cores).

Have you tried MSI afterburner with rivertune overlay to see what is how much loaded on your end? Global load % gives you 0 informations in these situations.

I run it at 4k so I'm not suprised by the 60 fps

As NeoX said it's 99% a cpu bottleneck.

Your settings are too low.

But don't you know, bro? Lots of people will tell you that using 100% GPU/CPU means the game is terribly optimized and that it is making their computer temps "hotter than any game".

Sounds like a CPU bottleneck to me.
Feels kinda weird saying this though, considering you got one of the best CPUs available out there.

The game literally bottlenecks the strongest CPU on the planet that money can buy on the open market.

Sad truth,

Some games always used to push the latest hardware to their limits, so this is nothing special per se.
However, I assume in MH Wilds case it's mainly due to poor optimization - there's nothing groundbreaking about the game itself.

maybe we need to wait for nova lake 52 cores
