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, I have a 3440p widescreen monitor, maybe thats the issue, but that shouldnt affect my gpu usage whatsoever. I tried to look for solutions or any kind of help but still no improvement. I myself have been playing BF since BF2. I really enjoyed BF3 hence why I was so happy seeing Noshar Canals in Portal, but then again, playing it on 30-40fps really isnt enjoyable. In the beginning I was like alright, its EA, it happens, we are kinda used to it, but now after quite some time they didnt do anything to adress that issue many players are complaining about. Is there anything I could do?
Already a big thanks to all of you!

    Any fixes so far? I have the same low gpu and cpu usage on my 6900xt and 3700x. All games except bf2042 runs smooth. Tried all the steps so far discussed in this thread, but no fixes yet.

    @Ypelaar the % cpu use you see , is from, all cpu's cores together (average of all cores).
    If ya display all cores , then you see 1 core is probarly running at/close to 100%

    I dont know if this is resolved, but do you have XMP/DOCP enabled? 

    Made a huge different for me since my memory speed lowered my CPU utilization.

    Might not be the case, but there is a lot of people experience change after enable

    this in the bios.
