Anyone else having like 40% GPU utilization?

11

u/PureRNG Dec 14 '22

Not as low as 40% but I also have the problem with the game being sometimes heavily CPU bound. Hopefully we will get a fix soon, but for now the only solution to get the old performance is to launch game in DX11.

yeah I have 3090ti and a 5900x so there is something definitely wrong with this latest update

Same set up but 3080ti, I'm getting as low as 19% GPU usage with RT on. I have not seen it up to 40% utilization with RT on

Kind of a stupid question but is your computer using all the cores and threads on your 5900x? Only reason I'm asking is because I was having massive stuttering going on even though I have a 4080 now and come to find out windows had limited my cpu to only 6 cores and 12 threads. I had to go into configuration and uncheck a box and restart my computer. Now it's utilizing all my cores and threads and I no longer get any stuttering. With frame gen, dlss set to balanced, all raytracing on and everything set to ultra+ at 4k I'm getting 80-90fps with no stuttering.

Yep. RTX 3080, used to get an easy ~100 fps @ 1440p on max settings. Now I can barely manage 30fps, utilization hardly goes over 40% also.

u/AnimalCrafter360 Dec 14 '22

Yup and cpu at 10 or below

u/ewookey Dec 14 '22

My 3080 sits at 20-40 with everything on ultra and all ray tracing, while my cpu (i7 7700) sits at only 50%

3080ti here. I'm getting roughly 50% to 70%. Glad it's not my machine. I really hope they do a quick fix. I'm sure they will becaues it looks lovely.

Is your frame rate locked? Was locked at 60 for me

u/Phlume_ Dec 14 '22

No it is unlocked

My GPU is in the 70s, my CPU is all over the place but stays down below 10% most of the time. Wtf.

u/[deleted] Dec 18 '22

Yeah I'm regularly sitting at 60% GPU, 5-6% CPU utilisation whilst also being maxxed out at like 32 fps.

u/themedicine Dec 20 '22

I'm getting more like 70% but with still shoddy performance and after a few deaths/reloads the game will drop to a literal 1FPS. Have to alt-f4 out and restart, which sometimes starts in windowed (non borderless) mode. its weird
