Increased CPU usage after patch

Has anyone else noticed increased CPU usage after the latest patch?

I’m running a RTX 3070 and a 5800X on high settings on 1080p and my COU usage went from 40 percent to 100 percent after the patch?




So Nvidia GPUs were throttling down if you had discord open while playing.

There was a new NVIDIA driver that came out yesterday(i think) that fixed this issue.

Maybe your GPU is no longer throttling down because of discord and is running at full power.

Are you getting more frames?

oh man maybe they finally listend to my incessant complaining about this game not properly utilizing single cores when virtual cores are turned on.

you mean hyperthreading?

yeah when yore physical cores are splitting their process capability to effectively double core count

So is this ok? Sorry I’m a new player so not up to date on the intricacies of the game yet!

I don’t know how you are getting such high GPU usage, but I know of others who have similar experiences.

I run potato quality myself.

Something that is undeniable and that has been happening systematically with each new patch is the loss of game performance. Clearly the game has zones/regions where poor performance is accentuated. In general, the game is poorly optimized.
