Re: (Updated) 60% GPU usage during the match

As EA support team did not even try to help i spent some time to find an issue and sort of i did.
So the problem is that 90% of CPU's can't run 128 player match properly even the last gen,so i tried to play 64 plyaer match and GPU started to loading 70%-100% ,finaly.. but still, loads keeps dropping even on 64 p/m. 
Not sure if it's my hardware issues and i hope I'l get the answers or devs will fix the issue,
PC:
Ryzen 5 3600 4.1GHZ
16GB ram 3200MHZ
RTX 3080Ti

    It's probably your cpu is not powerful enough for 3080Ti. I have same cpu with rx 590 which is pretty old and unrelative gpu and can run any map without issues. I run it on ultra settings on 40ish fps but medium/high combo gave me 60fps which my cpu runs at 80 percent at least. You need to upgrade your cpu if you want to play on higher qualities.

    ^ this.

    This game is massively CPU bound, that 3600 although a great CPU just is not cutting it in this game, it's a 6 core 12 thread fairly "low" clocked CPU.

    I went from a 8086k (6 core 12 thread running at 5ghz) to a 12900k (8 core 24 thread — has e-cores) and it was a night and day difference. My GPU usage on a 3090 was low too, would dip into the 60% usage, now it sits happily in the 95%+ range even when 128 players are all in the same area. Even now, on this CPU, 3 of the cores are being utterly hammered 90-100% usage, and i'm still CPU bound.

    tl;dr, game is insanely CPU intensive, the 3600 is just not quick enough to give the 3080ti the frames it wants in this game. Game is a bag of * performance wise.

    True,but frames are still okay 1% low is around 50 fps which isn't that imo. AVG fps are 80-100 after recent patch. I mean i'm not an expert,but i think this can be fixe as we have many games with 100+ players on a map and everything runs well BF2042 is the only game that has this issue also CPU doesn't have constant 100% load it's keeps at 50-70% , but what i noticed at the loading screen it can stuck at 100% which seems weird to me
