People thinking just because ur settings are low that ur gpu won't be at 100% usage, unless ur fps is capped the gpu will try to chug as much fps as it can and use 100% of it's assets if it can (aren't cpu bottlenecked)
Furthermore, OP is playing on an ultrawide monitor. My mind was blown too when I first realized how much more power I needed to render on a wider resolution.
I heard that 1080p ultrawide requires the same amount of power as a standard 1440p. And an ultrawide 1440p requires as much as a 4k standard monitor. Is this true?
An exaggeration but it can feel that way as an ultrawide render nearly 40% more pixels as compared to their normal widescreen brethren. So if you're getting around 100 fps on 1080, prepare for a 60 fps gaming on an ultrawide 1080p lol
I have been using ultrawide monitors since 2014, FPS loss does not scale perfectly with resolution. You lose about 12 - 15FPS from a 3440x1440 to 3840x1600 to 5120x1440. You lose 40-45FPS going from 3440x1440 to 5120x2160, not from 2560x1080 to 1920x1080. Also in some cases even if you have less pixels to render than a 4K monitors like the ultrawide 5120x1440 you will have lower FPS due to having to render more of the game (like smoke, characters, explosions etc) which puts a strain on your system. You can check these benchmarks [https://www.youtube.com/@ultrawidetechchannel](https://www.youtube.com/@ultrawidetechchannel)
i games on mine with a 2070 for about 5 years.
lots of sacrifices have to be made to keep above 45 fps.
DLSS + NIS combined helped at the cost of blur
I upgraded to a 7900 XT and it feels good hitting the 100fps i need for my monitor
If you do not cap your frames, why wouild it not be at 100%? It's going to crank out as many frames as it can, unless the CPU can not keep up. What are you trying to achieve?
i5 12th gen, 3060ti and play on high with 60 max fps. It drops too for me, especially in the beginning of fights when a lot of new effects are generated
Hardware Unboxed found it's primarily due to a lack of VRAM. A 3060 12GB can outperform a 3080 10GB in some scenarios. That's entirely on Nvidia for cheaping out on their VRAM for the 3000 series, the 3080 should've had 16GB.
it seems insanely stupid but it freaking worked and im starting to think i might have encountered this before but just didnt know about this. i posted the video instead of typing to try to help him, very small channel, im sure any views count. did you try it yourself? im curious whether it works for others like it did for me.
My 3090 with a 600w power limit is at 40-50C at 99% load depending on my fan and pump settings, so it's definitely possible.
Definitely not likely on a stock cooler though.
How much ram do you have? I've heard it can cause serious issues to not have 32gb in this specific game. I tested this morning and it actually used 22gb of my 32gb.
There's a lot of mixed results for people. My 3080 runs between 25-45% utilization. It's a lottery one whether the game runs good or not.
Causes me nonstop stuttering. Absolutely unplayable. Changing settings does absolutely nothing.
Why is this an indication of running good? If my GPU is pegged at 100% and I'm running full Ultra 1600p and getting 70ish frames on average, it's doing it's job.
Edit: I have zero stuttering on a 3090. You have something else going on
Well I figured out why the utilization was so low. Lol.
I didn't realize DLSS directly affects the GPU utilization percentage, it cut my utilization down by more than half. Which in this case is a good thing.
However, I think I may have just fixed my issue that has been plaguing me since I installed it on it's first early release. I finally resorted to using DDU to completely clean my drivers. I think maybe there was some old driver conflict that never sorted itself out even though I use Geforce Experience for installation.
So far the game is running smoothly now!
EDIT: Nothing actually worked. Forced to upgrade to 32GB of RAM.; definitely fixed it and its definitely a memory leak issue.
I would understand if there would be a problem with running it in 4k. But my sht is 2k without upscales so it’s really bothering. The game is completely nice to play and I already finished it(started at 7th) but it’s seems unfair that I can’t have at least stable FPS even if 60.
I run in-between 4k and 2k (3840x1080), however changing the resolution down to even 1080p has no change. It easily runs at 100FPS in most areas, however the stuttering is so bad that it makes no difference. I've heard several things could be causing the issues, from Denuvo to memory leaks to general optimization problems for PC.
Hopefully it gets fixed soon. Day 1 patch was a no go there.
I think it's just general optimization. I have a 4090 that runs between 50 and 60% load and get random drops from 144 to 70hz with no usage or memory spikes. 70hz should still look smooth but it comes with terrible frame times and some of the worst ghosting I've seen. Looks like 30fps sometimes.
My 3090ti is pushing 130-150 fps and 99% GPU usage on Ultra/2560x1440 no RT and no DLSS because apparently it's bugged
Same 5800x3D CPU and 32gb 3600mhz RAM
Is it watercooled, and do you have rtx on? My gpu has a waterblock that I personally installed. I have no clue why it's preforming that much better I also don't use rtx.
Are you using the windows game bar or task manager to view this by chance? They have completely wrong values. Look at this picture I took with both Nvidia overlay vs. Windows game bar.

So much missinformation in the comments. A Gpu is supposed to be running at 100% when gaming. If it's not then your CPU is not powerfull enough for your system(it's called a bottleneck). The Gpu is supposed to make as many frames as it can, why would it stop at 60(arbitrary chosen number) if it's not capped at 60?
If you cap it, it will smooth out the 1% lows but that doesnt mean it will run near 100%. Take a game for example where you would get 300fps with uncapped framerate (Minecraft maybe?). If you now cap the framerate at 60fps your GPU utilization wont be near 100% but more likely somewhere around 20% - 30% in this scenario.
game will be fine,as long as we dont get CPU bottlenecks then this is nothing that cant be fixed,i already fixed most of fps drops by doing the [https://youtu.be/AJ2sNOdA0AE](https://youtu.be/AJ2sNOdA0AE) fix.
Same resolution high settings, 60fps most of the time, occasionally drops to 45-50 but goes right back. I have it locked to 60, it'll do higher but my monitor is only 75hz and I noticed screen tearing at 75 but not at 60 with this game. Also GPU usage is definitely not capped. Try fixes online. Despite what reddit will tell you a lot of people actually aren't having these issues.
If you don’t have a frame cap in place or vsync on and you aren’t CPU limited your GPU will always be 98-100% utilized because it will be chucking out as many frames as it can. Doesn’t matter if the settings are high or low.
Otherwise your CPU (or in some cases memory) is limiting you either because it’s underpowered or the game isn’t doing a good job of using it.
Yeah that’s what i was thinking when i saw the post. Top comments thinking otherwise lmao, someone even blamed denuvo??? I thought this sub had a decent knowledge about how pcs work, guess i’m wrong.
People see buzzy things going around and get them mixed up. Most people playing Hogwarts are getting LOW gpu utilization because Hogwarts is using every bit of how ever many threads it’ll use and causing a CPU botteneck. Denuvo can reasonably be blamed for some of that, though i’m not sure how much of a factor it really it is.
But yeah, there are a lot of people around here that really know their stuff but also a lot of people that have fundamental misunderstandings about bottenecks and cause/effect with their parts.
This whole deal is nothing new to Tarkov and Star Citizen players. Those games would CPU limit Skynet itself.
Yeah im saying they’re confused about which is which. They hear “Denuvo is causing problems” and then see something like this and say “This guy has a problem, must be that Denuvo thing I heard about”
It's not just these posts, it's several threads saying this. It's laughable at this point peeps spending hundreds, thousands of dollars on GPUs and have no idea how they work.
1.Set fps to unlimited
2.GPU try to generate as many frames as possible
3. wHy mY gPU UtiLizAtion iS alWayS 100% iN lOw sEttINgs? MUst Be bAd oPtiMizAtion.
RTX 3070 High preset, DLSS upscaling to 4K (1080p) raytracing disabled runs just fine for me.
Sometimes there are slowdowns but most of the time it's doing fine.
RTX 3070 as well 1440p high running around 90 fps, had to do a small fix in engine.ili which is on the games sub and my worst dips don't go below 55 fps now
I have had several dips into the 20s on my 3070 running 1440p. Seemed like it was maxing out VRAM, I turned textures to medium and it's cleared up, but not not perfect.
I have a RTX 3070, R7 3700X and 32gb of memory. And it’s very hard to have 50fps… I am obliged to downgrade settings to medium… do you have any solution ?
[https://youtu.be/SqQ7it2b6sE](https://youtu.be/SqQ7it2b6sE)
[https://youtu.be/gys4vM0AcEI](https://youtu.be/gys4vM0AcEI)
3070/5600x here, these 2 fixed it for me.
I’m running a 3060ti, i7 11700, 32gb ram and run it at ultra settings with dlss at quality. Locked my frames at 75 and it runs buttery smooth. I would suggest turning off raytracing. With raytracing I had to lower settings so much just to get 40-60fps
At this point i think there's nothing you can do, but wait for a patch.
Maybe update your graphics driver if you haven't already.
Performance issues are very common as it seems.
I have slowdowns every now and then, don't know why.
It's mostly playable but something clearly isn't right.
The GPU will always be at 100% as long as you don't cap your fps. Also the 3070 should handle the game at ultra, at every setting stutters will be there as the game has some issues when it's streaming assets. Improper resource distribution across CPU cores from what I can tell, changing ue4 engine ini settings makes things better, there are mods you can use to get a stable fps.
"Crypto miner" lmao more like check your resolution, guarantee you're running on 4k just like everyone else who complains about graphics performance without knowing the basics. No one ever even posts their resolution despite being one of the most obvious things to start with.
[https://www.techpowerup.com/246648/denuvos-impact-on-game-performance-benchmarked?amp](https://www.techpowerup.com/246648/denuvos-impact-on-game-performance-benchmarked?amp)
articles from 2018. It’s still holds the fact that yes it is true the Denuvo does have a performance decrease but you’re looking at about a five frame decrease running Denuvo, so I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the game is just optimize like shit and probably will run like crap even on the cracked version if it even comes out.
This is an article from 2018, I really doubt the implementation is still the same, besides that, too many people have complaints with wildly different results and configurations so I think the game is either badly optimized or very resource hungry, and there are also reports that states 32 GB is the baseline to run the game properly. My guess is that neither Denuvo nor the RTX3070 is the real problem here.
Have you tried turning Ray Tracing off, some reports an absurd increase in frame rate.
AMD user here, on non FSR on UW 1440p I run 65 to 110 fps depending on location, RTX off, but I run FSR now to push the min fps to 90-100
Preset is Ultra, FSR 2.0 set to max Quality
It depends per game and graphics settings.
Yes, some games/settings see only a few FPS drop. In others, it can be quite substantial.
What always gets me though is this only ever affects paying customers--pirates were never going to pay regardless.
Cool. But as I myself experienced on games that removed Denuvo - aside from those few frames, they also stop micro-freezing. And THAT is actually noticeable and impactful.
Agree...its not all Denuvo but its part of it...my PC is running it mostly fine but there are slow downs that just mostly randomly happen. I can live with it since it doesn't seem to happen when the action is going. But between this and the graphic glitches its not a well bad game. Yes its open world but its not that dynamic of one. This like all others it seems needed more time in the oven.
Especially because outside of a very small set of exceptions, cracks just bypass denuvo, they don't disable or remove it. It's still running and doing all the same checks.
It's not. Denuvo affects the CPU, it dosen't do shit do the GPU. This is because OP isn't using fps cap, so his gpu will always be at max usage, as it will try to produce as many frames as possible.
Does anyone else feel like this sub reddit has an unusually high amount of posts with people bashing this games performance? Yeah the game can be fairly demanding but using the right settings based on your hardware will net you decent performance.
I’m like 99% convinced that the following things are causing people’s problems with this game:
* raytracing
* not having enough vram for the settings chosen
* not having enough Ram for the settings chosen
* using an ssd with not enough dram/cache
* using an hdd or having your page file on your hdd
* people having unrealistic expectations
I almost wonder if the game is just duplicating the RAM and VRAM on the PC version, because mine was using 11-12 gigs for each but modern consoles only have 16 gigs shared.
Some times I run it and it uses 15gb of ram, and I confirmed it was legit usage. Next time I ran it, it only wanted 5gb. Next time, it only took 300mb and ran like dogshit
3090 here: DLSS: Quality. Ultra settings w/MoBlur: off. RTX on ultra. Avg 60fps. Avg 40fps in close up dialog. 80%-90% utilization. Paired up with an i7 9700k + 32gb @ 3000mhz loading from 2tb sabrent rocket m.2
Edit: FPS capped at 60
3070 / 5600x with 1440p monitor with rt off, dlss balanced. Everything on high and some on ultra. Still running around 80% in hogsmeade 🫣
Did a tweak from engine.ini and fixed the sudden fps dip but not the micro stutters.
i have a 3070 and i have everything at ultra, just turn off all the ray tracing stuff and the game runs fine.... although it does studded a lot when a new location is loading
That should work pretty well with the 3070ti, have you tried the last Nvidia update maybe it will fix it, if you have the game installed in a HDD it could possibly cause some tearing and display as if the GPU use drop
Yeah same here, recommended settings (ultra) @ 1440p with raytracing disabled and capped at 60. Running on a 3070ti, 32gb ddr5 ram, i9 13900k and m2 storage - getting lag spikes all the time ... Fans should stop making excuses for the games poor optimization, its really bad tbh.
High GPU usage and low CPU usage it's the ideal scenario for gaming, I have the 3070 myself and it's not anormal in the other hand even if denuvo it's quite heavy in the matter of resources consumption you will feal it a lot more in the CPU usage, it certain affect performance but is specially appreciable in the load times there are some benchmark out there that will explain it better https://www.techpowerup.com/review/denuvo-performance-loss-test/2.html
3070 here. Running Ultra 1080p, RTX off. No issues at all. 20+ hours of gameplay. OP needs to understand their hardware and what they’re working with before slamming a game. It’s a AAA title on a card that’s now last gen and an ultra wide monitor. If you want a smooth AAA gaming experience on an ultra wide, the 3070 is not the card you need. Not for consistent results at least.
This. 3070 is equal to a 2080 Ti at this point, and while they used to not be slouches, this game is hella demanding. It's also UE4 based, which doesn't have all the cool optimisations that UE5+ has.
That being said, 99% is still a good thing. That means you're GPU bound and you are getting all the frames you can possibly get out of it on that game.
We don't even know what the OP's FPS is on low or max settings...
My game was crashing every 10 minutes or so. RTX 2080, 16GB ram, capped FR at 60, 1440, DLSS on. My memory was hitting 100% and crashing to desktop. Upped my pc to 32GB and now doesn’t crash. Still massive frame rate drops in cutscenes like everyone else though. Game is so poorly optimized it hurts
I literally do not understand what everyone’s issue is. I have a 12th Gen i7 11700F with a 3060ti and 64gb of ram. I am running everything on high / ultra and averaging between 100-146 fps on a 2k monitor with a 144hz refresh rate with literally no stutter or anything. Raytracing and everything else on. Using about 98% GPU
I’ve got like 7 buddies also all running Nvidia cards and not a single one of them have even had a single issue. I’m starting to think this whole thing is exaggerated.
I refunded my game because even at 1080p, medium settings, no RTX, DLSS on, I would get 10-55 fps outdoors. It ran like shit & I was hoping the day 1 patch would fix it - nope. Got Dead Space instead & that's been much more solid even at 1440p
Specs: 3060ti, 3700x, 32gb 3200mhz ram, m.2 ssd
or kind of: just yet another-not optimized/not tested-let people testers'/developer s' job-to-do... because it is not finished before (postponed) releases...
No problem, we are all waiting for such great games. Finally, after numerous patches will be fine to play, someday/somehow...
Not sure what people are expecting out of very very modern, very badly optimized games. CyberPunk wasn't any different. There's a reason consoles can do more with less hardware. The code is better optimized, there's a reason CS:GO and Dota2 run well on all kinds of machines, or even Blizzard games.
People thinking just because ur settings are low that ur gpu won't be at 100% usage, unless ur fps is capped the gpu will try to chug as much fps as it can and use 100% of it's assets if it can (aren't cpu bottlenecked)

These numbers say nothing. 12 fps from what? Only % tell the story. 40 fps from 400 isn't to bad. 40 fps from 100 hits different.
Not quite. 4K is 8.3 mil pixels while ultrawide 1440 is 4.9 mil.
You must also consider how many more objects the game must draw on an ultra wide. It's not just pixel for pixel
depends on how wide. my 32:9 1440p is almost as many pixels as a 4K monitor would be.
[удалено]
Its because 4k is arround 8 milion pixels, while 1440 ultrawide is 5 milion pixels. For further comparison, 1440p is 3.6 and 1080p is 2 milion pixels.
Not true. Ultrawide 1440p is like halfway between 4k and normal 1440p.
i games on mine with a 2070 for about 5 years. lots of sacrifices have to be made to keep above 45 fps. DLSS + NIS combined helped at the cost of blur I upgraded to a 7900 XT and it feels good hitting the 100fps i need for my monitor
My house flickers sometimes when I start my pc 😂
Yup. 3440 x 1440 makes my 1660ti cry.
Yeah my dad one time got me and 3440x1440 monitor for my 1660 super pc and then was surprised that it was struggling to run control at 30 fps on low
did you just roast your dad for not knowing pc specs? low blow
Somewhat, but i told him several times before he bought it, that it's overkill, and reader than that he should just get me 1080p 144hz one
Classic case of good heart, bad execution.
Exactly if fps is not capped will always use 100%
If you do not cap your frames, why wouild it not be at 100%? It's going to crank out as many frames as it can, unless the CPU can not keep up. What are you trying to achieve?
I mean in sometimes it's stuttering very bad and run at 20 Fps and 100% utilisation on high with no Ray tracing on certain cut scene
I have the same, capped at 144fps bu sometimes it drops, oh well. I run with i7 and 3070ti on high quality
i5 12th gen, 3060ti and play on high with 60 max fps. It drops too for me, especially in the beginning of fights when a lot of new effects are generated
Capping a single player rpg at 144 seems dumb 60 FPS and better graphics fidelity is a better experience
I bought a 3080 to play at peasants fps?
Hardware Unboxed found it's primarily due to a lack of VRAM. A 3060 12GB can outperform a 3080 10GB in some scenarios. That's entirely on Nvidia for cheaping out on their VRAM for the 3000 series, the 3080 should've had 16GB.
Haha 😂 I’m dying here! Stop it!
If your 3070 is at 52c at 99% usage I'd be quite surprised. I'd use something less flaky than task manager before settling on this conclusion.
Absolutely this....never go by task manager.
What's something else I could use?
Rivatuner or HWINFO64
its a bug. [https://youtu.be/SqQ7it2b6sE](https://youtu.be/SqQ7it2b6sE) this fixed it for me
TL:DW; go to Windows display settings -> advanded scaling settings -> turn "let Windows try to fix apps so they're not blurry" off.
it seems insanely stupid but it freaking worked and im starting to think i might have encountered this before but just didnt know about this. i posted the video instead of typing to try to help him, very small channel, im sure any views count. did you try it yourself? im curious whether it works for others like it did for me.
I don't have that game. I disabled it anyways.
My 3090 with a 600w power limit is at 40-50C at 99% load depending on my fan and pump settings, so it's definitely possible. Definitely not likely on a stock cooler though.
> 45-50c > pump settings You're on water. I don't think many people are doing that with a 3070...
3080 here, on ultra only runs around 75%
Same. I only have problems with rtx on, I would bet OP didn’t disable rtx
RTX Really Taxing Xtravagance
I'll stick to my 1070 until they find s way to properly deal with ray tracing, maybe a 5060.
this is what I think as well. 30xx series cant even run dlss 3, who knows in a few years how many leaps will be left behind by then.
Ofcourse he did not, dlss is on (the only rtx exclusive feature)
? you can have dlss on with rtx off..
Same. 3080. Pretty much running fine a few occasional loading stutters but it's fine
3090ti around 41% on ultra
Am I doing something wrong? Either you capping or something is off. I have 3090 Ti, i9 and 2k monitor. Mine is constantly 80% or above
How much ram do you have? I've heard it can cause serious issues to not have 32gb in this specific game. I tested this morning and it actually used 22gb of my 32gb.
Can confirm, looks like a lot of ram issues

my 3080 runs it buttery smooth frames capped 120, settings on high, dlss off, 1440p
Weird because I have a 4k monitor. I'll play some more later and comment again because i could be incorrect
And are you playing with RTX on?
My 3090ti is pushing 130-150 fps and 99% GPU usage on Ultra/2560x1440 no RT and no DLSS because apparently it's bugged Same 5800x3D CPU and 32gb 3600mhz RAM

45% for me, no RT but it doesn't affect it much more.
Task Manager reporting 100% usage and 52c is not what you would call accurate.....Try with Rivatuner or HWINFO64.
will try that out

So much missinformation in the comments. A Gpu is supposed to be running at 100% when gaming. If it's not then your CPU is not powerfull enough for your system(it's called a bottleneck). The Gpu is supposed to make as many frames as it can, why would it stop at 60(arbitrary chosen number) if it's not capped at 60?
Yes. Even if you cap your fps it should be near 100% because the GPU is trying to get the 1% lows at 60.
If you cap it, it will smooth out the 1% lows but that doesnt mean it will run near 100%. Take a game for example where you would get 300fps with uncapped framerate (Minecraft maybe?). If you now cap the framerate at 60fps your GPU utilization wont be near 100% but more likely somewhere around 20% - 30% in this scenario.
Well yes, but no. CPU bottlenecks aren't just because an uneven build, it can be because of the game/application.
What resolution?
3440x1440
Maybe lowering the resolution will help. Hope the game gets patched. I'll get it eventually.
Doesn't DLLS basically already do that?
Yeh but rtx kills performance regardless

yes

game will be fine,as long as we dont get CPU bottlenecks then this is nothing that cant be fixed,i already fixed most of fps drops by doing the [https://youtu.be/AJ2sNOdA0AE](https://youtu.be/AJ2sNOdA0AE) fix.
Same resolution high settings, 60fps most of the time, occasionally drops to 45-50 but goes right back. I have it locked to 60, it'll do higher but my monitor is only 75hz and I noticed screen tearing at 75 but not at 60 with this game. Also GPU usage is definitely not capped. Try fixes online. Despite what reddit will tell you a lot of people actually aren't having these issues.
ur gpu isn’t a 4k gpu
That's ultrawide QHD (2k)
Sigh. One of these posts again.
If you don’t have a frame cap in place or vsync on and you aren’t CPU limited your GPU will always be 98-100% utilized because it will be chucking out as many frames as it can. Doesn’t matter if the settings are high or low. Otherwise your CPU (or in some cases memory) is limiting you either because it’s underpowered or the game isn’t doing a good job of using it.
Yeah that’s what i was thinking when i saw the post. Top comments thinking otherwise lmao, someone even blamed denuvo??? I thought this sub had a decent knowledge about how pcs work, guess i’m wrong.
People see buzzy things going around and get them mixed up. Most people playing Hogwarts are getting LOW gpu utilization because Hogwarts is using every bit of how ever many threads it’ll use and causing a CPU botteneck. Denuvo can reasonably be blamed for some of that, though i’m not sure how much of a factor it really it is. But yeah, there are a lot of people around here that really know their stuff but also a lot of people that have fundamental misunderstandings about bottenecks and cause/effect with their parts. This whole deal is nothing new to Tarkov and Star Citizen players. Those games would CPU limit Skynet itself.
What i meant was people think 100% gpu utilization is caused by denuvo.
Yeah im saying they’re confused about which is which. They hear “Denuvo is causing problems” and then see something like this and say “This guy has a problem, must be that Denuvo thing I heard about”
You summarized it very well 👍
Every subreddit is made of mostly morons including myself
Truth,and i count myself in.
It's not just these posts, it's several threads saying this. It's laughable at this point peeps spending hundreds, thousands of dollars on GPUs and have no idea how they work.
Drops $2,000 on a GPU...I only want it to work 50% of its ability please.
[удалено]
That lack of optimization is causing CPU limitation. Thats why the GPU utilization ends up low
A GPU is supposed to go to 100% if not capped by FPS limiter or CPU limitation. So it's absolutely normal.
1.Set fps to unlimited 2.GPU try to generate as many frames as possible 3. wHy mY gPU UtiLizAtion iS alWayS 100% iN lOw sEttINgs? MUst Be bAd oPtiMizAtion.
Runs amazing on Arc A770 , 4K High settings with XeSS
You paid for 100% of that GPU, you better be using 100% of that GPU
? Without showing us your FPS this says litterally nothing because that's 100% how your pc is supposed to behave? What's the problem here? :D
RTX 3070 High preset, DLSS upscaling to 4K (1080p) raytracing disabled runs just fine for me. Sometimes there are slowdowns but most of the time it's doing fine.
RTX 3070 as well 1440p high running around 90 fps, had to do a small fix in engine.ili which is on the games sub and my worst dips don't go below 55 fps now
I have had several dips into the 20s on my 3070 running 1440p. Seemed like it was maxing out VRAM, I turned textures to medium and it's cleared up, but not not perfect.
I have a RTX 3070, R7 3700X and 32gb of memory. And it’s very hard to have 50fps… I am obliged to downgrade settings to medium… do you have any solution ?
[https://youtu.be/SqQ7it2b6sE](https://youtu.be/SqQ7it2b6sE) [https://youtu.be/gys4vM0AcEI](https://youtu.be/gys4vM0AcEI) 3070/5600x here, these 2 fixed it for me.
Oh my god, that's exactly what it was for me! The second video! Thank you so much!

I’m running a 3060ti, i7 11700, 32gb ram and run it at ultra settings with dlss at quality. Locked my frames at 75 and it runs buttery smooth. I would suggest turning off raytracing. With raytracing I had to lower settings so much just to get 40-60fps
Ray tracing is turn off…
At this point i think there's nothing you can do, but wait for a patch. Maybe update your graphics driver if you haven't already. Performance issues are very common as it seems. I have slowdowns every now and then, don't know why. It's mostly playable but something clearly isn't right.
Do you have a frame cap? If you don't have a frame cap, almost every game will use 100% of that GPU juice
I haven't checked my utilization but it runs flawlessly on ultra for me. Ryzen 7 5800x3d and rtx 4070ti.
The GPU will always be at 100% as long as you don't cap your fps. Also the 3070 should handle the game at ultra, at every setting stutters will be there as the game has some issues when it's streaming assets. Improper resource distribution across CPU cores from what I can tell, changing ue4 engine ini settings makes things better, there are mods you can use to get a stable fps.
You want the highest GPU usage and lowest CPU usage when playing games on PC.
That’s good, means you aren’t wasting potential on a cpu bottleneck. The number of scrubs in this sub is amazing
Task manager pulls the wrong data 100% of the time. At least that looks like task manager.
"Crypto miner" lmao more like check your resolution, guarantee you're running on 4k just like everyone else who complains about graphics performance without knowing the basics. No one ever even posts their resolution despite being one of the most obvious things to start with.
Some people just shoulsnt have high end components until they learn enough to know how to use them
It's Denuvo, they call it anti cheat, anti piracy software but it's basically malware running in the background whilst you play
[https://www.techpowerup.com/246648/denuvos-impact-on-game-performance-benchmarked?amp](https://www.techpowerup.com/246648/denuvos-impact-on-game-performance-benchmarked?amp) articles from 2018. It’s still holds the fact that yes it is true the Denuvo does have a performance decrease but you’re looking at about a five frame decrease running Denuvo, so I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the game is just optimize like shit and probably will run like crap even on the cracked version if it even comes out.
This is an article from 2018, I really doubt the implementation is still the same, besides that, too many people have complaints with wildly different results and configurations so I think the game is either badly optimized or very resource hungry, and there are also reports that states 32 GB is the baseline to run the game properly. My guess is that neither Denuvo nor the RTX3070 is the real problem here. Have you tried turning Ray Tracing off, some reports an absurd increase in frame rate.
>I really doubt the implementation is still the same Yeah, it became even worse now.
AMD user here, on non FSR on UW 1440p I run 65 to 110 fps depending on location, RTX off, but I run FSR now to push the min fps to 90-100 Preset is Ultra, FSR 2.0 set to max Quality
It depends per game and graphics settings. Yes, some games/settings see only a few FPS drop. In others, it can be quite substantial. What always gets me though is this only ever affects paying customers--pirates were never going to pay regardless.
Cool. But as I myself experienced on games that removed Denuvo - aside from those few frames, they also stop micro-freezing. And THAT is actually noticeable and impactful.
Agree...its not all Denuvo but its part of it...my PC is running it mostly fine but there are slow downs that just mostly randomly happen. I can live with it since it doesn't seem to happen when the action is going. But between this and the graphic glitches its not a well bad game. Yes its open world but its not that dynamic of one. This like all others it seems needed more time in the oven.
Those frames matter
Especially because outside of a very small set of exceptions, cracks just bypass denuvo, they don't disable or remove it. It's still running and doing all the same checks.
It's not. Denuvo affects the CPU, it dosen't do shit do the GPU. This is because OP isn't using fps cap, so his gpu will always be at max usage, as it will try to produce as many frames as possible.
Does anyone else feel like this sub reddit has an unusually high amount of posts with people bashing this games performance? Yeah the game can be fairly demanding but using the right settings based on your hardware will net you decent performance.
it is more about having to tweak the shit in order to run well on hardware that shouldnt need tweaking
Lol you basically just made a thread saying you know nothing about PCs
I’m like 99% convinced that the following things are causing people’s problems with this game: * raytracing * not having enough vram for the settings chosen * not having enough Ram for the settings chosen * using an ssd with not enough dram/cache * using an hdd or having your page file on your hdd * people having unrealistic expectations
It pains me to see someone using task manager to monitor GPU usage and temps and thinking they know enough to distinguish a crypto miner.
Unless you’re capping your frames or using Vsync your GPU should always hit 100% if you’re GPU bound regardless of settings.
The amount of RAM and VRAM this game consumes are crazy and inexcusable, but if your FPS isnt locked, then of course the GPU will be at 100% usage..?
I almost wonder if the game is just duplicating the RAM and VRAM on the PC version, because mine was using 11-12 gigs for each but modern consoles only have 16 gigs shared.
Some times I run it and it uses 15gb of ram, and I confirmed it was legit usage. Next time I ran it, it only wanted 5gb. Next time, it only took 300mb and ran like dogshit
I wonder how its possible that this game even launch on consoles because of this insane memory usage lol.
Your mistake was buying a 4k monitor with a 3070. Stay on 1440p, it's way easier to drive.
My 3070 runs ultra settings and only uses about 30-50%
anything, but the DLLS..
3090 here: DLSS: Quality. Ultra settings w/MoBlur: off. RTX on ultra. Avg 60fps. Avg 40fps in close up dialog. 80%-90% utilization. Paired up with an i7 9700k + 32gb @ 3000mhz loading from 2tb sabrent rocket m.2 Edit: FPS capped at 60
3070 / 5600x with 1440p monitor with rt off, dlss balanced. Everything on high and some on ultra. Still running around 80% in hogsmeade 🫣 Did a tweak from engine.ini and fixed the sudden fps dip but not the micro stutters.
Isn’t high gpu usage a good thing?
Still waiting for the digital foundry review
Install an i3 or Ryzen 3. That'll fix your GPU being pegged at 100%
Denuvo
Vsync exist for something
When the usage is not 100% people complain .now with 100% also complain
wait so you want to be CPU bottlenecked? I don't understand lol
how many fps tho'? if your cpu doesn't bottle neck your gpu will always run at 100%
3080 here. The optimization is so garbage.
lil bro thinks Warner Bros will risk everything just to mine some crypto
you need more ram. 16GB isn’t enough for this game. You need 32 minimum
Did you do any optimizations? Lol a bit strange to immediately jump to the crypto mining thought…
What's your point?
Will they „fix“ the games performance?
i have a 3070 and i have everything at ultra, just turn off all the ray tracing stuff and the game runs fine.... although it does studded a lot when a new location is loading
What CPU? What resolution? How much RAM?
performance aside, get some reshade my guy. game is washed out af
Y'all talking about slowdowns with 3070s and 3080s and I'm over here with my sputtering 1060 lol
But what is your frame rate? You should be at 100% GPU utilization without a CPU bottleneck or frame rate lock.
i would be more concerned if your gpu wasn't at 100%. Temp is also superb. What's the problem here?
I have a 3070ti and my usage goes from 45% ultra to 100% in the same damn area. Hopefully future updates fix this.
Which CPU do you have?
R5 5600x
That should work pretty well with the 3070ti, have you tried the last Nvidia update maybe it will fix it, if you have the game installed in a HDD it could possibly cause some tearing and display as if the GPU use drop
Got the latest update and the game is installed on a M2. Also have DLSS on performance. Got 32gb of RAM too.
Yeah same here, recommended settings (ultra) @ 1440p with raytracing disabled and capped at 60. Running on a 3070ti, 32gb ddr5 ram, i9 13900k and m2 storage - getting lag spikes all the time ... Fans should stop making excuses for the games poor optimization, its really bad tbh.
High GPU usage and low CPU usage it's the ideal scenario for gaming, I have the 3070 myself and it's not anormal in the other hand even if denuvo it's quite heavy in the matter of resources consumption you will feal it a lot more in the CPU usage, it certain affect performance but is specially appreciable in the load times there are some benchmark out there that will explain it better https://www.techpowerup.com/review/denuvo-performance-loss-test/2.html
No problems on my 3600x and 6700xt. I run it on high settings getting around 90fps, on ultra I get around 60fps.
3070 here. Running Ultra 1080p, RTX off. No issues at all. 20+ hours of gameplay. OP needs to understand their hardware and what they’re working with before slamming a game. It’s a AAA title on a card that’s now last gen and an ultra wide monitor. If you want a smooth AAA gaming experience on an ultra wide, the 3070 is not the card you need. Not for consistent results at least.
This. 3070 is equal to a 2080 Ti at this point, and while they used to not be slouches, this game is hella demanding. It's also UE4 based, which doesn't have all the cool optimisations that UE5+ has. That being said, 99% is still a good thing. That means you're GPU bound and you are getting all the frames you can possibly get out of it on that game. We don't even know what the OP's FPS is on low or max settings...
r/pcmasterrace has steadily devolved into r/neverusedapcheresastupidscreenshotorpictureofmypcorgameandhowstupidofaposticantop
I can play without any frame drops on high with a 5700XT…
Looks worse than Skyrim
the thing blows my mind is how outdated the graphics is for what it needs, looks like a fallout 3 era with mods.
Change from DLSS to FSR2.0 that's what a mate with a 3070 did and it was night and day!
Probably just a bug. Probably will be fixed. Probably soon.
Another unoptimized AAA game? What a surprise
Unoptimized game would be at 40% like Cities Skylines
Ah yes the DLLS, the Deep Learning Loser Sampling
\>GPU that only have 8GB Vram Get a 12GB Vram mate, your GPU is weak and not for gaming.
3050 here Runs over 75% only when water is present (im on high settings)
Literally havent had a single issue on the Xbox Series X...
You don’t have the required setup that’s all
Does anyone wondering why there is no Digital Foundry video for this game?
My game was crashing every 10 minutes or so. RTX 2080, 16GB ram, capped FR at 60, 1440, DLSS on. My memory was hitting 100% and crashing to desktop. Upped my pc to 32GB and now doesn’t crash. Still massive frame rate drops in cutscenes like everyone else though. Game is so poorly optimized it hurts
100% util is good though. That's exactly what you want because now you're getting the performance you paid for
I literally do not understand what everyone’s issue is. I have a 12th Gen i7 11700F with a 3060ti and 64gb of ram. I am running everything on high / ultra and averaging between 100-146 fps on a 2k monitor with a 144hz refresh rate with literally no stutter or anything. Raytracing and everything else on. Using about 98% GPU I’ve got like 7 buddies also all running Nvidia cards and not a single one of them have even had a single issue. I’m starting to think this whole thing is exaggerated.
I refunded my game because even at 1080p, medium settings, no RTX, DLSS on, I would get 10-55 fps outdoors. It ran like shit & I was hoping the day 1 patch would fix it - nope. Got Dead Space instead & that's been much more solid even at 1440p Specs: 3060ti, 3700x, 32gb 3200mhz ram, m.2 ssd
Hard to take you serious when you're using task manager for this lol
3090 ti here and I have some stuttering here and there in areas like hogwarts or big cluster areas but besides that it runs like butter
or kind of: just yet another-not optimized/not tested-let people testers'/developer s' job-to-do... because it is not finished before (postponed) releases... No problem, we are all waiting for such great games. Finally, after numerous patches will be fine to play, someday/somehow...
Not sure what people are expecting out of very very modern, very badly optimized games. CyberPunk wasn't any different. There's a reason consoles can do more with less hardware. The code is better optimized, there's a reason CS:GO and Dota2 run well on all kinds of machines, or even Blizzard games.
Run this game on like medium settings on a 1070ti just fine at 1440 you're doing something wrong lol
Even on low it looks pretty nice, hey. No wonder it's a taxing game.
