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.

@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

    @Rokebo73 This is what i see in the task manager when playing BF2042 see screenshot.

    Both show a high % then with Intel control.

    Intel control shows around 4%

    Task manager shows 50% and higher.

    If i take the intel control  4%X16=64%

    Made a youtube movie.

      @BetaFieldPlayer Ok thats good.
      ARC only show average ammount of all cores at once !
      So if only 1 or maybe 2 cores are around 90% and the other 6 (or more) are around 2% then average is indeed very low !

      Dont worry , its just a software related thing in arc !
      This means ARC doesnt display details of cpu for example !

      If its an ARC issue or just setting or not detailed enough , i cant say, but its ok , dont worry !

      Cheers

        @Rokebo73Whats the point of showing only 2% that doesnt mean anything to me.

        If Intel would use the total cores running as in the task manager round 60% i can do someting with that info, when i read 2% i think 2% of what?
