Battlefield 2042 not showing the correct CPU usage.

Question

Hello,A few weeks ago i installed a new Video card the Intel Arc A770 16 GB on a clean install windows 11 22H2, the Intel ARC control panel when pressing ALT-O when gaming doesnt show the correct CPU usage, i reported this to Intel but they say that&nbsp;It's possible that the game you're playing isn't utilizing all of your CPU cores.CPU usage shows less the 10% most of the time its 2% or 4%&nbsp;I have installed all the latest drivers.https://youtu.be/H1PRRqK-Jjc&nbsp;Intel:community.intel.com/t5/Intel-ARC-Graphics/When-pressing-Alt-O-it-shows-the-wrong-cpu-activity-for-my/m-p/1474894#M3222&nbsp;Edit:With my other Video card Asus GTX 1070 on the same system i saw the same low cpu usage with Asus GPU Tweak III.

I reinstalled AC many time still the same problem i also did a clean install windows 11 4x.

I tested with CPU-Z and the score is the same with AC and when i close AC in the task manager.

Also the driver in that post is older.

What i dont understand is why intel ARC shows low CPU usage, and ASUS GPU Tweak III with my ASUS GTX 1070 on the same system also shows low CPU usage, but when i install MSI afterburner the usage is normal between 40% and 60% in BF2042.

Battlefield V also shows low CPU usage.

@Rokebo73 There is no setting in ARC control for higher CPU usage. This works out of the box.

@BetaFieldPlayer and if ya look in taskmanager during game ?
Show all cores in taskmanager , do ya see 1 or more core at a higher %?

Normaly the% ya see, is from all cores together (average), just display all cores in taskmanager and check again
