BF2042 low GPU usage

Hey guys! So after a few months I still cannot properly play the game. With my 2070 Super and my Ryzen 5 3600 I only reach 50% GPU usage at max, while my CPU is at 60-80%. I thought to myself okay, ...

    Alright, there are some updates you need to apply.

    Okay, there is a V2 version of your motherboard so double check its just the B550 Gaming X mobo and not the B550 Gaming X V2 mobo.

    Then go to the manufacturer website of the mobo to get your chipset drivers: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/B550-GAMING-X-rev-10/support#support-dl-driver-chipset

    If your comfortable doing so there are some BIOS updates availiable so you can update to the latest version, the updates include the AMD AGESA ComboV2 which is related to the controller, ram and CPU.

    Then update your GPU driver here: https://www.nvidia.co.uk/Download/driverResults.aspx/187107/en-uk

    Some of these driver may require you to restart your PC, so restart before updating another driver.

    Check your windows updates also.

    If this does not work lmk, It maybe a case of OS file repair which we can try later.

      @The_Tibber I did everything you mentioned besides the bios updates and there is still no change. Even on a 64man server I have the same issue, not as bad but still there

        Alright,

        1.Lets do a OS check.

        Right click your start menu button and open command prompt (admin) then type:

        dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

        Hit enter and let the scan run, after do:

        sfc /scannow

        It should mention if it was able to do some repairs, if so restart the PC.
        (If it fails lmk.)

        Then check for windows updates.

        2. Checking driver corruptions with DDU. (be sure to disconnect your internet to the PC for this!)
        Guide here: https://www.wagnardsoft.com/content/ddu-guide-tutorial

        3. Clearing game cache.

        When using steam you can clear its game/download cache here: https://help.steampowered.com/en/faqs/view/6AD7-820D-8BE5-E51F

        For EA or Origin desktop: https://help.ea.com/en/help/faq/clear-cache-to-fix-problems-with-your-games/

        4. Disabling Overlay (Origin)

        This is if your using origin, its overlay can be really buggy to the extent I have seen performance improvements when removing it.

        Close Origin, then navigate here: C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin
        Then delete the igo64.dll file

        Now test the game.

        Some of these things you may have tried, but doing these things in this order resolves common issues that have a cascading effect of issues. (For example If A does not work, fixing A does not work untill you fix B so you have to fix B before A.)

        Side note: Double check/recconect the power connectors on your GPU while the PC is off.

        It maybe unlikely but its happened before.
