You only have 8 cores, the other are SMT, Don't force the game to use those... I even disabled SMT in my bios, making the CPU cores that matter to boost higher and run cooler.
Also update your motherboard bios to a newer version with updated AGESA code. For your board update first to version F32 as mentioned on the Gigabyte site
which graphics presets are you running?
Like the previous replay indeed insalled system memory is important for Batlefield 2042, Dual Channel recommended and the higher the speed the better , eg there's a noticeable difference between 2800and 3600Mhz system memory
I disabled SMT, and now the game recognizes 8 cores properly instead of 16. But it still says Job Threads are only 8, not 16 (My cpu has 16 threads).
The CPU usage is still at 100%. For a graphic preset, I've tried everything. Low, medium, high, ultra, custom.
I have two 8gb ram sticks, not one 16gb.
If you disable SMT/Hyperthreading you only have 8 threads out of an 8 core, you disabled it in the BIOS correct ?
I took these screenies , maybe install and open CPUZ to check
I included my settngs from my PROFSAVE°profile in the text document, maybe you can try these. Backup first your current to another location, than copy paste all the audio and graphical settings in the exisiting one via Notepad. Take note I did not include the keybinds part !!
These give a steady 60FPS on a GTX 1070 at 1080P with a Ryzen 1700, Medium quality. CPU is around 9-16ms
I also disabled most features in Origin as you can see below
This is my screen with NVIDIA performance info overlay, the task manager, Draw FPS console command overlay.
BF2042 always takes 60%~75% of the CPU usage, and the total CPU usage always stays at 98%~100% when it's running.
The game is barely playable if I close every single program except for Steam, Origin and BF2042...
Where my specs are above what's required and I don't have problems with other games, I'm just at a loss for what to do.
Is this kind of thing normal for this game?
