100% CPU USAGE IN GAMES

[أقدام ابنة عمي سا]

Hi everyone, I always get 100% CPU usage in every game, from the menu to the actual game. Maybe this explains why despite the high fps I always have micro stutters every three seconds. Does anyone know how to resolve this issue? I own I5 13500 and RTX 4080

Turn on Vsync and limit the FPS to the refresh rate of your monitor.

[blehhh :P]

Your PC is a high-end build and looks like it was designated to gaming. In my opinion, games running 100% CPU is not always the case and is completely normal - especially games like Call of Duty, which are CPU intensive games.

But of course you are getting micro stutters.

My advice is.

1) If you have bad airflow in your PC, do things like re-pasting, opening your side panel, or simply cleaning your PC.

2) Limit your CPU usage via Power Plan.

- Go onto Control Panel
- Set "View By" to "Small Icons"
- Open "Power Options"
- Click on "Create a power plan".
- Set it to "High Performance".
- Click "Next" and then "Create".
- Then go to "Change Plan Settings". Then click "Change advanced power settings".
- Scroll until you see "PCI Express".
- Change the setting to "Moderate power savings".
- Then go to "Processor power management".
- Change minimum to 80%, and maximum to 90% or even 98%.
- Click "Apply" then "OK".

Let me know if that works!
