Performance Issues

I have a RTX 3070 and intel i711700 and game runs like crap. When I played early access open beta I had 140 FPS, I now have 60-80 FPS on lowest graphics... fix ASAP!

Horrible 2042 performance today.

This is the same issue I had in the beta. My game is eating up my CPU (R7 2700X) and not even touching my GPU (RTX 2080), resulting in heavy throttling at ~35 fps no matter what graphical settings I choose. I understand that my CPU is a little behind, when it comes to top-of-the-line tech, but it shouldn't be THIS bad right? Main menu performs completely fine, as expected, at 120 fps or more, with normal CPU and GPU usage. But as soon as I get into a match, it drops the GPU and only wants to use my CPU.

The attached screenshot was taken while I was in a Conquest match on Hourglass with the "Medium" graphics preset.

I don't mean to be talking trash about the game or the devs, but this has to be the worst optimisation I've ever seen for a game, much less an AAA title. I have never in my life had a video game use literally none of my GPU. Even L4D2 uses a chunk of my GPU, and that game is 12 years old!

Is there any sort of workaround to this issue? Or am I just waiting for the devs to fix it?
