Low GPU usage and poor frametime graph

[Zephyr]

In running a rtx 3060 and 5600x cpu but my game gpu stays at 80% utilisation even at any resolution and ultra settings. I did the shader compilation at the start. Does anyone know a fix?

Maybe a CPU bottleneck. I used to get that with 5600x & 3070ti on games that are CPU heavy/bound (not sure if ff7 is cpu bound) Upgraded to R7 5700x3d and my Gpu uses 100% mostly on games now.
What resolution are you playing on ?

Im playing on 1920x1080. I dont get any issue like this on other games and my cpu usage is only around 20 - 40 percent in game. Ive tried reinstalling drivers but that isnt fixing it. Also changed resolution to 4k to see if it really is a cpu bottleneck but the usage is still at 80%.

late reply so hope you fixed it !
Yeah i had this same problem on other games. It would work fine with most but some heavy CPU usage games like PUBG ect, it would stutter and fps drop badly even tho cpu usage was never over 50% and gpu 50-80%. Its the 1% lows that the 5600x will struggle with. As soon as i upgraded to a better CPU, any game including ff7 is butter smooth - getting around 70-80 fps with everything maxed 1440p
Your Gpu is enough to get over 60fps especially with 1080p.

You could maybe wait a few days and hopefully they put a patch out or something, as i see alot of people not happy with performance !

forgot to say, you can try - lossless scaling framegen. Can buy it on steam for like £7 seen alot of people saying its helping there ff7 doubling their fps some with R5 5600x

Ill try framegen with it, but wouldnt a messy frametime graph make the framegen be very bad too?

Thanks, hopefully some modders can create a patch for this cause the gameplay is pretty choppy

I doubt you are in a CPU limit.

I have a Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 4060 and my GPU is constant at 100% usage (in WQHD, all settings maxed and 66-100% scaling).

same rig 3060 12gb + 5600x
SSD NVMe + 32 gb ram

i have 100% gpu utilization

I ong have no idea what’s stopping my gpu from getting 100%. Maybe the ram cause mine is 16gb? Are you using windows 11 or 10?

Are you monitoring every core of the CPU?
The bottleneck will occur in one of the cores, not across all of them.
I'm having some issues with the i7-10700K. The overall CPU usage is at 30%, but one of the cores is at 85%. So, it’s a CPU bottleneck / poor optimization for these older CPUs.

I did that using msi afterburner but the max usage on a cpu i got was 85%. All are usually averaging around 25 to 80%.
