Re: Performance - CPU at 100% constantly - i7 9700k

Thnaks for the replies. I actually decided to go for a fresh install and update to Windows 11 to try and rectify the issue. Still no luck and have the same issues.

@EA_Rtas  Dxdiag provided

Page File: 9328MB used, 9934MB available

Is the page file being completely filled because 16GB of RAM isn't enough memory?

@OskooI_007  Is that a question for me? I'm not sure what page file is

The page file is created on the hard drive by Windows. It's used to store RAM data on the hard drive when RAM memory is full.

Accessing RAM data off the hard drive is much slower than accessing it off RAM modules.

Since the page file appears full it might indicate the 16GB RAM modules are completely full and Windows is starting to store memory data on the hard drive. Which would cause game stutter because hard drives are much slower than RAM memory.

- Load into a 2042 multiplayer match.

- Press alt+ctrl+del to bring up task manager.

- Go to the Performance Memory tab in task manager and take a screenshot of RAM memory usage (press 'print key' on keyboard to take screenshot, then click paste in Microsoft Paint to paste the screenshot.

- Post the screenshot so we can see if RAM memory is full or not.

@OskooI_007 Thanks for getting back to me. See below image while I have 2042 running MP

Looks like there's 2GB of free RAM memory so that doesn't appear to be causing game stutters.

You are correct about the CPU being pegged at 100%. Do you have Ray Traced Ambient Occlusion enabled in 2042 settings? If you do try turing it off. Ray Tracing is a very CPU demanding setting.

No ray tracing or ambient occlusion enabled.

How many frames per second do you have in 2042?

Type the console command 'perfoverlay.drawgraph 1' into 2042 command console without the quotes and post screenshot.

perfoverlay.drawgraph 1 will provide useful performance information.
