    You have an older CPU, so it makes sense it's running a little maxed out. Try running on lower graphics settings, perhaps?
    I have a 9800X3D and PNY 5080. When I'm playing, they both sit around 60% use.

    Here's some CPU troubleshooting tips.

    Some of the CPU cores might be maxing out at 100% usage. To check if there are any CPU cores hitting 100% usage, open the Windows Task Manager CPU graph.

    • Run the game in windowed mode (alt + enter)
    • Open Task Manager (alt + ctrl + del)
    • Open the Performance tab, then right-click on the CPU graph and choose "Change graph to > Logical processors".
    • Set Task Manager to 'always on top' by clicking option
       
      Now you can play the game and monitor per core CPU usage. If any CPU core hits 100% usage the game will stutter.
       

    Also check if the CPU frequency is slowing down in Windows Task Manager. For example, below 3GHz.

    Download CPU-Z and verify CPU RAM memory is in dual channel mode.

    Make sure XMP/EXPO memory overclocking is enabled in BIOS settings.

    I like your eagle avatar!

    CPU-Z says the RAM is in dual channel mode. That's good!

    I would compare with the .cfg file and without. See which one gives higher frame rates.

    How many frames per second are you gettings?

    Type this to see fps in top right corner of screen. PerfOverlay.DrawFps 1

    It looks like you have a high framerate. Although to see the real framerate, multi frame would need to be turned off.

    I created same User.sfg file cuz i have older 5800X3D and rx 7900GRE and while i running game at 1440p FSR native and ultra settings i still can push out 100 up to 125fps also this all depends on map you play. After i make this file for BF2042 and it worked i created same for BF6 and it worked well but still my CPU run around 90% on those settings now running around 65 to 70% still. Its a bit high but that is not issue what is real issue that i still feel input lag and its almost unplayable idk but i will not fix this probably but when i feel this i wonder how even older CPUs work cuz this actually feels like game trying to push frame gen cuz on my overlay i can see frame gen lag detecting stuff even tho im not using any frame gen. Over all great game but what about it when i cant really play it more than hour cuz my eyes hurt from that input lag soooooooooo much its not even funny and i have all things that i should turned on including XMP, res bar ON all things done all drivers fresh reinstaled also dit DDU and i have lastest drivers on chipset and bios plus new windows fresh.  Still this is only one game i have this kind of issue. Also i have 32gb of ram 3600mhz dual channel and game and windows 11 run at gen 4 m.2 nvme SSD., All games work fine just this one have those random hickups.

    9800x3D, 48GB @ 6000, RX9070XT, 1440p ultra, FSR Native AA. GPU is always 90% plus, all threads running at least 60+% evenly and I'm 130+ FPS and the game is smooth as anything..
