Re: CPU load 95 - 100%

Ok i tested this and it works wonder as described in the dsogaming test.

I use 1080p, max settings with vsync in borderless window mode.

Without "Fix":

With "Fix":

Worked for me as well. I'm using a 4790k with GTX 1080. CPU usage back to 40 from 80%.

Will this (lower the used threads to 4) work on 7700K (which is a 4 cores, 8 threads cpu)?

I was under the impression that more cores to use will yield better fps, not the reverse 

How do you create a user.cfg file with notepad??? And do I just open file location from the shortcut and put the file there or somewhere else?

Hi fellows, I still have that overloaded cpu usage on a i9 9900K, do you have news about that issue ?

Try:

Thread.ProcessorCount 6
Thread.MaxProcessorCount 6
Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
Thread.JobThreadPriority 0
GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 6

Sorry if this is somewhere already but can you post detailed instructions for this? 

I've tried adding this from a text file and in the 'Need for Speed Heat' folder alongside the application etc but it is still causing issues with 100% load on cpu. 

Thanks! 

You are a genius thanks 🙂 

I9-9900k oc'd to 4ghz and I'm at 49% cpu with nfs heat running.

Hey there,

I'am facing the issue, that my computer is in NFS Heat not running at 75fps.

The usage of the gpu is below 50% (mis afterburner) and the fps in the menu hits the maximum of 43fps in the menu. In the game 33-35fps max and usage of the gpu is still under 50%.

Vsync is off. I also deinstalled Origin and NFS Heat. Did a regclean and installed new.

No changes. Drivers are up to date. My pc: https://www.sysprofile.de/id50974

Would be great to get some hints.

Forza Horizon 4 is running smooth at 75fps. Other games as well. Only NFS Heat is making probs.

I also tried the user.cfg hack with 6 cores and 12 core settings. No difference when applying the "hack":

Thread.ProcessorCount 12

Thread.MaxProcessorCount 12

Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0

Thread.JobThreadPriority 0

GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 24

Cheers

Hey there,

im facing the same problem with 30-35 fps max with like 30% gpu usage and 20% cpu.

All updated drivers etc for my 2080ti and Ryzen 9 3900x.

Did anyone find a fix for that problem?

Same problem here, had to refund the game.

4790k and I'm hovering around 55fps in race with low gpu usage. I tried the .cfg file fix with no joy. What a mess. For reference, I can run FH4 at 100-120fps.
