Experiencing the same thing, every 10-15 seconds my cpu framerate spikes / crashes....I found an older beta video that's saying people with over 8 cores (I have a 9950x3d) and it doesn't know what to do with it, so you have to go in and edit the game files to make it only use 8.....I won't be doing that, I'll return the game first lol.
you should edit that to use all 16cores and 32threats you cpu usage will drop to like 40%, i have 5800X3D and IDK yesterday i got 100% cpu usage today i go into bios double chek my settings and go back and i dit also user.cfg file before but now i got around 70% CPU usage and i can work with this but still CPU usage should be bit less than this also my friend have 9900x stock no OC and his game at 1440p use around 50% of CPU and at 4K around 35% soo yours should use a lot less and it should not have any issues but hey we all know that every system is different.
