Hello, my friend bot and I are experiencing consistently high CPU usage in games, a phenomenon we haven’t encountered before. Here’s an overview of our system specifications:
https://pcpartpicker.com/user/BertDeDikk...iew=ct9BP6
The issue is that both my friend bot and I observe 100% CPU utilization during gameplay. We have attempted the following troubleshooting steps:
We’ve installed the latest drivers, including DirectX. We've also adjusted our display resolutions and implemented frame rate caps at 60fps (though this isn’t a sustainable solution due to my inability to utilize my 240Hz monitor). We’ve modified game priority settings.
These steps have not resolved the problem. Both of us are experiencing this issue, suggesting it may be widespread among i5 CPUs without Hyper-Threading.
We would appreciate any potential solutions or advice you can offer.
Thank you! Regards! 🙂
Yes.
The virus-free and malware-free PCs with clean GPU driver installations via Display Driver Uninstaller, followed by the latest recommended drivers without GeForce Experience, and no missing or corrupt Windows files confirmed through Microsoft’s System File Checker tool, alongside sufficient storage drive capacity and condition, absence of memory leaks, and up-to-date motherboard drivers, all resulting in positive responses – indicating:
All of the yes.
The non-hyperthreaded CPUs also exhibit high frame times…
If all of those factors are satisfactory, then:
Yes to all of them.
Non-hyperthreaded processors also experience significant frame time fluctuations when all cores are fully utilized.
Notably, both games require more than six CPU processing threads.
*Warzone* places a considerably greater strain on CPUs compared to *Warfare*, primarily due to the larger player counts in matches.
Individuals utilizing older Ryzen 1000 or 2000 series processors may not encounter performance problems stemming from insufficient thread availability, although their single-core performance might differ from that of your and your friend’s current systems.
Is thermal throttling absent?
The PC is free from viruses and malware?
GPU drivers were installed cleanly using Display Driver Uninstaller, followed by the latest recommended driver without utilizing GeForce Experience?
There aren't any missing or corrupted Windows files, verified through Microsoft’s System File Checker tool?
Storage drives have ample space and are in optimal condition?
Memory usage is not excessive – no memory leaks detected?
Motherboard drivers are current?
Given all of this, should I purchase a new processor? Which one would you advise, as I've understood that AMD offers superior value for performance, and my motherboard utilizes the socket 1151 platform?
An older generation Intel Core i7-8700 or i7-8700K processor, or an Intel Core i7-9700 or i7-9700K processor – note that you’ll need to ensure your motherboard’s BIOS is up-to-date before installing these CPUs. Alternatively, a high-end Intel Core i9-9900K processor offers significant performance, but the combined cost of the CPU and necessary cooling solution may make a Ryzen 3600 or 3700X paired with a B450 Tomahawk MAX motherboard a more economical choice.
High CPU usage doesn't automatically indicate an issue, why are you limiting your frames per second to decrease it? I possess a 3700X and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will utilize twelve out of sixteen threads.
It is definitely a problem, my voice to other people in discord sounds like a robot, i can't run anything in the background
The processor model is an AMD Ryzen 7 1700, which utilizes an AM4 socket. The motherboard’s chipset appears to be compatible with the Intel 11th generation processors via a legacy 1151 socket.
If a Ryzen 3600 plus a B450 MAX motherboard is too much:
-a Ryzen 1600 AF (if you can find one) plus a B450 mobo
-a Ryzen 2600 plus a B450 mobo
Of course, the socket is different, so that means a new mobo.
As I said earlier, your best options on the Intel side are:
-2nd hand i7-8700
-i7-9700
