Re: Poor performance and low GPU usage.

Hello, exactly the same thing happens to me as you. In menus the GPU reaches 100% perfectly (well, not always, but it is used much more) and obviously, in menus I even have 230FPS on some occasions. The drop in performance only happens to me in the stages. Only occasionally at some stage I get 100% for a couple of seconds but it fluctuates again. With the new patch the stuttering has improved, but unfortunately it remains the same. 32GB DDR4 3600MHz, i7-8086K @ 5GHz, the game installed in a Samsung NVMe 970 and my GPU is an RTX 4070.

@AstramusThanks for clarifying! Just wanted to make sure because many people on the internet just don't understand bottlenecking at all. Good to hear that you are not one of them. 🙂
Do you get 100% GPU utilization in menus and pause screens though? That's what I'm getting. GPU usage only drops when I'm on a rally stage. Even in Rally School, I get 99% GPU usage, but never in a normal stage.
Definitely a serious bug that should be fixed asap.
5800X3D + 7900 XTX here btw.

I can also confirm the low CPU and, particularly, the low GPU usage during stages. Despite the very demanding scenarios (e.g., Finland, where some stages range from 90 fps to 60 fps in just one corner), GPU usage never reaches 100%.

These numbers point to a problem with UE4 code optimization, since hardware resources are never fully utilized and, as a consequence, performance is severely compromised.

My PC specifications include a AMD 5600x, 32Gb of RAM and AMD 6800XT (XFX Merc 918).

With that CPU and that gpu u are bottlenecking CPU for sure... The game dont have the fault, maybe its poorly optimized than other and for that its more noticeable than on other games but u have to much GPU for that CPU.

No mate. I have been in the world of gaming for 25 years and I know exactly what the bottleneck is, and it is quite a myth. My processor runs around 35~45% on each core and if we try it in more demanding games I don't have a single problem. I repeat, the bottleneck exists but not always. A CPU that has 6 cores and 12 threads at 5GH can handle a 4070 and something else. Also, if you read more users you will see that there are people with the same problem with much more powerful CPUs than mine. Greetings.

Hello everyone. I have installed the new 1.3.0 patch and the GPU usage problem has been completely solved, at least for me. In all stages, my GPU runs between 95~100% constantly and the cores of my i7-8086k do not exceed 45% usage. I also dedicate this to everyone who said that an RTX 4070 is bottlenecking the CPU (too much GPU for that CPU) is what they said. Well, everything works much better, but there are stages, like Kenya for example, where the FPS continues to drop and does not stay above 60 at some points of the stage (normally they are around 90FPS). The average FPS in 1440p with everything in ultra except the reflections of the car which are low, now I have them at 90~120FPS. Greetings.
