Performance issue caused by CPU limitations
Performance issue caused by CPU limitations
You've purchased a laptop equipped with a Ryzen 5 processor and a GTX 1650 graphics card. After attempting to run Witcher 3, you noticed high CPU utilization at 100% while GPU usage remained low at 30%. This indicates the CPU is the main constraint. Consider whether upgrading the CPU or optimizing your system would be more beneficial.
The laptop is connected and running smoothly under the Performance or Balanced Power Plan settings.
I’d examine what’s consuming your CPU resources, confirm the processor runs at optimal speed for gaming, verify your laptop doesn’t need updated drivers or BIOS, and check that bloatware isn’t slowing it down. Many machines run extra software on startup with heavy CPU usage. Identifying the specific CPU model can also clarify expected performance levels.
