How to make game use more CPU

[DangerousChicken]

When running msi afterburner, I notice the game is only using 45-50% of my 6 core cpu and only 65-70% percent of my RTX3070ti and giving me only 40 fps outdoors and 21 fps in Novigrad with RT on in DX12.

How the hell do I get the game to use more of my hardware? Or is this just how the game runs now?

Thanks

You need to see the performances of the single cores. 50% of CPU doesn't mean you are not CPU bound

Try using BES. Google it.. for The Witcher 3. Also.. Enable Resizable Bar support using NVIDIA INSPECTOR. But Before all that.. Clean Install latest Drivers.

yes, but only 70% for the gpu means he's probably cpu bound. Your gpu should basically always be 98%-100% if you are not running into a frame limiter like vsync.

This is because despite being marketed as next-gen, this patch didn't do anything to improve multi-threading performance and still relies on single-threading performance (which was already archaic in 2015).

U could allways change the "Priority" of Witcher 3 in Task manager, change it from normal to real-time or high. This CAN cause instability, i haven't tried it though....

Right, thanks so CDPR need to do something about getting the game to use more CPU to feed the GPU, no worries thanks for the swift reply.

I fear that if they can do anything at all, it'll take them several months. This is something that needs to be done at the very core of the game's engine, and the slightest error could result in heaps of bugs and so on. This is also the reason why CP2077's RT looks and performs better: it was built from scratch with RT and multi-threading in mind.

Yea right well I hope they have better luck down the track, thanks mate.
