Battlefield 6: CPU at 100%, GPU barely used — Performance issues?

I'm playing Battlefield 6 with an RTX 3060 and I've noticed something odd: the GPU usage stays around 10–15%, while the CPU (i7-4790K) is constantly at 100%. Frame rates are lower than expected, and ...

    It's not because your CPU are old, people with newer CPUs are having the same problem.

    One of my PCs has the same processor as you (an i7 4790k with a RTX 5070), and it still plays modern 4K games. Both my 4790k and my newest Ryzen were experiencing the same problem as you. For your i7, try following this fix.

    Create a .cfg file named 'user.cfg' and copy and paste this:

    Thread.ProcessorCount 4

    Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4

    Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0

    Thread.JobThreadPriority 0

    GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 8

    The number '4' indicates the number of cores in your processor, and the number '8' indicates the number of threads. If you have a processor with more cores and threads, please change these numbers according to your processor.

    Put this file into the "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Glacier Events" folder (for the Steam version).

    Hi I seemed to have fixed mine,
    I had high CPU usage,
    I was crashing randomly when zooming in and getting a directx crash,
    To fix it for me I changed 2 things to get it working with no crash at all.

    1. In battlefield 6 graphics settings change performance preset to performance, also I needed to set ,  upscaling technique to fsr and the upscaling quality to quality.
    this stopped the crash for me, and I had tried everything.

    To stop the high CPU usage
    2. I made my User.cfg file, to put in my battlefield 6 folder to help with the high CPU usage, it dropped my CPU usage from 97% usage to about 50 to 60% usage.

    To make your User.cfg file you need to go to your task manager and get some numbers from your CPU,
    open your task manager go to performance, CPU,
    you need your cores and Logical processors numbers mine looks like this,
    my cores was 4, and my Logical processors was 8,

    Right click on your desktop to make a new text document and put this in with your own CPU numbers.

    Thread.ProcessorCount 4
    Thread.MaxProcessorCount 4
    Thread.MinFreeProcessorCount 0
    Thread.JobThreadPriority 0
    GstRender.Thread.MaxProcessorCount 8

    change your numbers to what your CPU numbers are and click, file, save as, and name it  User.cfg
    now you have your file on your desktop,  you need to put the User.cfg file in to your game folder,
     mine was in steam so it looks like this,
    C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Glacier Events0000

    This really helped me and my game it made it smooth to play.
    hope it helps. 

     

    the real kicker is, I run a old 2017,  i7 7700k with a 2017, radeon rx vega 56 that is not supported by AMD no more, my game run that good I have 55 hours ingame over the weekend.
