    Only 70% GPU Usage

    I get ~70% GPU usage with settings maxed at 1440p. Sometimes it spikes to 90%.

    Running an 8600k @ 4.9GHz and a RTX 3080. CPU usage bounces around 50 to 80 percent, so it's not 6 threads that is the bottleneck.

    Using the latest NVIDIA driver.

    What's performance like? If you're using DLSS you'll see less utilization since the GPU is rendering at a lower resolution than native. If you're using RTX + DLSS it should be maxed though

    Somewhat similar for me really. Using about 40%-50% of CPU and GPU, depending on settings, and getting between 28 and 38 FPS in the open world. Average FPS in the benchmark tool is around 75.

    I'll try some more testing tonight, but I predict I'll be waiting for after a few patches before playing properly.

    I have i7 9700k and a 2070 and performance is awful cpu usage is 100% and GPUs is below 50% it’s stuttering a lot and freezes for a couple of seconds. Not fun dlss isn’t helping either it looks blurry

    Today's 1GB+ patch didn't fix the issue.

    i can confirm this. performance is still pure and utter garbage even after the patch. driving through the city is a sluggish and unresponsive mess.

    Should have gotten a ryzen. Havent been having any issues at all unless I hit water. cpu around 25 to 30 while gpu around 95 to 100. Vega 64
