I have an old i5-2500K and my CPU is running on 30%... Are you sure you're not running on integrated GPU?

Try right-clicking on Foundation icon on the desktop, there could be option: Run with Graphics processor --> Integrated / High-Performance...
If you don't have icon on the desktop: In Steam, Right-click Foundation in list of your games,
click Manage: Add shortcut to desktop.
But if you have high FPS (top left corner) in the game, you're probably running on dedicated GPU.

How many villagers do you have in your village @Liwosz?
As your village grows your CPU will be utilised more as more instructions are sent to the CPU from the game. However it is likely that it is only one of the cores that is running with high useage and not the whole CPU.

Regarding the GPU use you can see which GPU is being used by opening up the foundation.log file found here: \Documents\Polymorph Games\Foundation in notepad.

You should see the GPU that is being utilised approx 9 lines down.

Even when i start a game, my CPU is going nuts. When im doing normal stuff, like watching something on YT, i have like 1-2% of CPU usage, but the moment when i start the game, it goes up to 95-99% it's in secounds.

Something is not right there.

Clearly there is going to be a heavier demand on your CPU for a simulation heavy game than something like like YT but on a fresh game start I wouldn't expect to see more than 30-40% overall usage. And with your i9 probably much lower.
The GPU I would expect to see hit 100% or near as that is the nature of GPU utilisation.

It is hard to say what is happening for you as it is probably local to you. I can't say I have heard of others with 100% usage.

yeah i wish i could show you on some video clip, but there is nothing to see actually. I dunno what is going on. I mean it doesnt bother me because i still have 120 fps and everything is smooth, but still that 99% CPU Usage is strange. Ty for reply!

Just for the info, did you check foundation.log file to be sure what GPU is the game using?
