Re: BF2042 low GPU usage

Okay bit of a sanity check, set your resolution to 1080p with low settings and see if it reflects a similar framerate of this video:

Also, does switching Nvidia reflex to on help the framerate if it was originally set to "on+boost"?

    @The_Tibber After I switched to 1080p the GPU utilization dropped even lower. It was on like 20-30%, CPU remained on like 60%
  • I'm not the dude you replied to, but I have the exact same issue, in my case I did the following:
    Turbo boosted + increased max power consumption on CPU
    Closed all unnecessary background app to the point where i have 1% CPU utilization on idle

    Cleaned the fans and CPU, temps stay below 60 C while ingame

    Paste is replaced

    Hell I don't know what else to do short of investing into a quantum CPU lmao

    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%
