Issue with system efficiency
Issue with system efficiency
I'll perform virus scans using various programs. I've tested every possible fix, but I don't believe a hardware upgrade will help since the only real solution would be reducing the game's graphics settings, which could negatively affect performance. It seems like this system is causing issues because it's running benchmarks on YouTube with specs that rarely exceed 90% CPU usage, and in some maps it reaches 95-100%. A complete reinstall appears to be the best course of action.
I prefer top FPS performance, yet I’m unsure why my BF1 stats stay high even though in GTA V they never exceed 80%.
Check your system on the Amiens map. For the initial titles your CPU stays low, around 70%, but after playing two games it spikes to 80-100%. Starting anew might help clear any lingering issues affecting performance.
You view high CPU usage as normal because it indicates your processor is actively handling demanding tasks. Check the running processes to confirm it's the game you're playing, not a problem.
The issue is likely a placebo effect. Reducing the frame rate lowered CPU usage, but increasing it would cause higher CPU demand.
