GPU Utilisation won't go above ~60%

[Arkane Jaguar]

As the title says, I'm running an RTX 4070 Super with an 8700K and 32GB GDDR4 Ram.
Before you say, neither my ram nor CPU are any where near 100% utilisation.

No matter what settings I put I get about 45 FPS. I've tried all settings on minimum and all on maximum with raytracing and it refuses to go above 45. In the menus it goes up to my monitor refresh rate which is 90hz but as soon as I exit the menu it drops back to 45fps.

I've tried enabling and disabling Raytracing, Vsync, DLSS and cannot conclude what's causing it other than the game itself.

Anyone have similar issues with the 4070 Super on only this title?

The settings still a little bit buggy. If you turn vsync on or off it could change the framelimiter. Did you double check it?

[Arkane Jaguar]

Yeah I've tried it with a variety of setting changes as well and nothing.
I think it's always using half my refresh rate i.e., if I underclock my monitor to 60hz I cannot get above 30fps.
On 90hz, it does go up to about 48 fps in-game, but quickly corrects to 45

Have you checked individual core utilization? I just upgraded from an 8700k the other day to a 7800x3d, went from 50-60FPS to a solid 120FPS. So it looks like it was CPU limited. I didn't check the CPU utilization though, so I can't say for sure.
GPU is a 3080, playing at 1440p.

Unfortunately, the game forces you to use fps limiter, even if you turn vsync off. I had the same problem as you but i just had to change the ingame framelimiter. It's a shame that this isn't the solution for you. I hope it clears up soon.

im having same issue atm some1 help pls only played once with normal frames of 144+ now i cant go above 55

[Arkane Jaguar]

MakMak was right, only half of my CPU cores are activating... great.

anyway to fix this?

AMD RX 5700 XT + R5 3600 at 4.3 GHz here.
Due to AMD's lower driver overhead in DX12 and kinda similar CPU power, I should be seeing higher performance in this CPU bound game than your 4070S + stock i7 8700K combo. Game is very, very CPU bound.

Game on my end is mostly 60 fps locked (with fluctuates mostly down here and there). If I leave fps unlocked, it can spike up to 80+ in the open world and even 120 fps in the rare closed spaces this game has.

So: it's mostly DX12 Nvidia driver overhead + older CPU. Game might be further optimized through patches in time.

i7-8700K, year 2017
is pretty old Intel arcitech.

Your cpu is bottleneck.
You maybe not see cpu utilisation +90%, because it is slow.

*overcloking cpu to 5Ghz wont help.

How much fps did you get in this game with RTX 4070 Super?
