Summarize your bug The game doesn't use more than 50% of my GPU or 70% of my CPU and my frames are stuttering pretty hard. Doesn't matter whether I have my game at max settings or lowest.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Try the game with a 3080 Ti (?)
What happens when the bug occurs? Low frame rate (60) at 1080p & inconsistencies of smooth rendering
What should be happening instead? not this lol
Low frame rate and low GPU usage on a 3080 Ti. Not CPU bottlenecked. Hitting 40-70 FPS whether my game is on low or max settings. GPU isn't going over 50% usage in any situation.

Summarize your bug This is not a bug but an inexplicable frame rate. My friend and i both have the same pc except he has a better graphics card (i have a 1660 SUPER and he has a 2070). Both pc's windows are up to date. Both graphic card's drivers are up to date. We both play on MID settings. But i get 95% GPU usage with 80fps and my friend gets 35% GPU usage with barely 50fps. We've tried marking the .EXE file as high priority, playing around with the resolution, changing from a 2k monitor to a 1080p monitor, reinstalling the game, reinstallijg it again but into an SSD. Nothing has worked. Im aware of the fact that my friend is NOT the only one with this issue.

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I dont know what causes it but theres plenty of people on your different platforms complaining about bad optimization (even tho they meet pc spec requirements) and providing video evidence.
What happens when the bug occurs? As already explained, my friend's GPU usage will not move from 30-35% therefore providing an abyssmal fps rate.
What should be happening instead? He should be getting 85%-95% GPU usage, like me.
Please fix it. This bug has made me unable to play with any close friends whatsoever
What about set low/high battlefield priority in task bar? It should change cpu usage a little atleast.

I have the same problem and I have a high end PC with a rx 6700xt card and only get 27 FPS no matter how I setup the settings for graphics/display. So the game is unplayable

Summarize your bug: The game maxes out my CPU which is a Ryzen 2600, goes betwene 80-100%, while my GPU is around 30% usage. This is a major issue affecting a huge amount of users
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Testing the game properly, issue has been happening since BETA.
What happens when the bug occurs? Frame rate is all over the place, using the internal FPS counter, CPU is rending 30-50fps but gpu is rendering 100fps+
What should be happening instead? not this lol

According to my Geforce Experience framerate and utilization monitor I'm getting about 40 FPS with stuttering and random drops with about 50% GPU usage and 50% CPU usage. Doesn't matter whether I'm on low or high, it doesn't matter if I'm playing at 1440p or 4k and it doesn't matter whether I have DLSS on or off. Framerate cannot hit 60 FPS nor stay consistent despite having around 50% of my GPU and CPU untapped by the game. Not sure why it isn't using 100% of one or the other. If it did I'd probably be hitting 60 FPS or above with DLSS on. I'm also running the game off the WD Black 750 NVMe that came with a copy of the game so I shouldn't be limited by read speeds either.
I read online that turning CPU hyperthreading off in the BIOS has worked for some people but I don't feel like I should have to change BIOS settings each time I play just to get a game to work when I'm above the Recommended Specs for the game. It's obviously an issue with the game engine. Game was obviously rushed to release with glaring issues. Glad I got it free with my NVMe or I'd be feeling ripped off right now.
Same for me too! I have a 3070 and an intel i5 10400! I get ~80fps but only using 50% of my gpu and 60-70% of my cpu? this on max settings with ray tracing off
Product: Battlefield 2042
Platform: Windows 10
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3500x
GPU: Nvidia Geforce RTX 2060 Super
RAM: 16gb DDR4 2666mhz
CPU usage 98~100% But GPU usage is 30~40% on EVERY settings
Same for me using a Nvidia 2070 super CPU Ryzen 7 GPU usage is 10-20% and CPU usage is 90%, I get 30fps constantly it's unplayable
I have found a solution to get a more stable fps for Nvidia GPU´s and to crank up the GPU load.
So what i did.
There is an option called Physx settings in the Nvidia control pannel
This one is set to auto or CPU.
I set the Processor for Physx to my GPU this setting was set for my CPU.
And also the other thing i did to crank up my GPU load is by making the Resolution higher through Geforce experience. Ingame i could´t go higher than 1920x1080.
In geforce experience i put the resolution to 2715x1527 DSR. I started up the game and noticed now my GPU load is way higher than normal. It was normally around 40-50 % now it utilizes my GPU up to 90%.
My specs:
i7 7700K @4.8 Ghz
3060ti
16GB ram
Now my framedrops are way less and my average fps is way more stable even in big crowded areas it feels way better.
I hope this helps out some folks
Working much nicer for me. Thanks!

Nice to hear. I also upgraded to the newest nvidia driver and it seems to run smooth on this one as well.
My PhysX setting was set on "auto" and it already pointed to my GPU. So this made no difference unfortunately.
Same issue with r9 5950x and RTX 3090... 50% of GPU usage...
I opened a topic about this.
How i fixed this.
Go to nvidia control panel and go to the Physx settings and set the Physx processor to your GPU instead of auto or CPU. In geforce experience go for a higher resolution in the Bf2042 settings.
This made my game run alot smoother and gave me a higher GPU load and a bit lower CPU load.

Summarize your bug The game does not utilize the GPU to it's full potential. It should use 98-99% of the GPU, but instead it only uses about 90-93%. As for the CPU it is only utilizing about 20-50% of the CPU. Normally, it uses 80-100% of the CPU.

What happens when the bug occurs? I get about 100 fps on Ultra. On BFV on ultra settings with this setup with no DLSS, I was getting between 170 to 180 fps on 4k 3840x2160 resolution. If I lower my resolution to 1440p the GPU utilization goes down to 70 or 80%, which means that the GPU isn't being used to the full potential.
What should be happening instead? Clearly not this. It seems to be really unoptimized for PCs at the moment. nVidia released their Day 0 definitive update and it's made no different. I should easily be getting 150-180 fps on Ultra. On all low settings I get 110-140 fps, which is shocking on one of the top PC setups money can buy. People spent a lot of money on this game, and they expect good performance. It is odd because usually Battlefield has been coded for PCs, and then ported to Consoles. It seems like the reverse has happened, but not proper coding has occurred for the many different PC setups there are based on different CPUs or GPUS.
Im not big on knowledge with issues like this, but curious as to why this game is utilizing 100% CPU and my GPU is only 20-25%? My specs are I7-9700KF and Nvidia RTX2070 and Ram is 32gigs. Is this bottlenecking? if so is my system not good enough or is the game not optimized correctly yet? I know I've ran much more demanding games where this has never been the case before. Just worried if I continue to play this game it will overheat my CPU cause the fans are going crazy hard due to the game using it at such a high percentage. I guess I dont get why some ive read they are 50/50 on cpu and gpu but alot are like me.
