CPU barely reaches 50% usage, yet GPU is at 100

Post by BreadedVirus »

Having FPS issues with the GPU settings maxed out.

CPU barely reaches 50% usage, yet GPU is at 100 with terrible stuttering on Oakfield farm with base game equipment

Any advice appreciated

What is your GPU and what settings are you playing on?

Have a look at the following threads for information on how to find out what causes the FPS drops and tips on how to improve the performance of the game:
viewtopic.php?f=893&t=124978&hilit=FPS#p983627
viewtopic.php?f=896&t=125424&hilit=FPS

If you are running Windows 10 also check the following thread since the issue might be related to the latest update: viewtopic.php?f=893&t=125988&hilit=AMD

If the tips in those threads don't help then please post the log.txt go the game so that we can get a better overview of your setup (see the link 'log.txt' in my signature)

If your GPU is at 100% load ... maybe try lowering the settings!?

The ratio CPU / GPU is normal ...
If I crank my game up to max out my GPU the CPU is still just "chillin out" with hardly any load.

Guess going to a 8GB GPU would improve things then?

Code: Select all

Render System
  Driver: Direct 3D 11
  Card Vendor: AMD/ATI
  Renderer: Radeon RX 580 Series
  Version: 24.20.11021.1000 (7.6.2018)
According to https://support.amd.com/en-us/download/ ... ws+10+-+64 there is a newer version of the graphics card driver available, might be worth trying that as well.

Also, does this only happen on that specific map? If yes then the map might not be optimised very well (clip distances not set correctly etc.) and you should try to contact the map author to see if he can fix this.

I don't know if it is related, but It says your resolution is 1920 x 1055, that seems very odd. If you're on a 1080p monitor that will introduce some wacky scaling.

Do other maps run fine? A 580 should be able to run this a 60fps no problem at 1080p

Is it using up all the available 4GB of memory? I highly doubt the map with base equipment is using up all 4GB.

Yeah, it’s using up nearly all the memory while the CPU sits nice and comfy. Have all latest drivers installed too.

It’s happening on even the base maps too. Also my monitor and game settings are set at 1920/1080.

Delete or move the log and game.xml and start the game and post the log text again, that says your drivers are out of date and you are using a weird resolution.

What CPU are you using, just because task manager says it is only using 50% it may be pegged out on one core/thread and that would be causing the lag. Try setting the priority of the game to high once you are in the map from the task manager.

i57400, but was thinking about upgrading to the i7700k. I set the priority of the game to high when in game already.

ok I was thinking maybe you had AMD, I have the same issue with my game on some maps and its quite annoying
