I have a problem with my Battlefield V. CPU 100% Usage, all the time

Hey I have a problem with my Battlefield V. Every time I play BFV my cpu goes to 100% Usage, it never goes down once I play the game. I have about 70-100fps in the game. I get some small lags. I h...

@VictorDK87 I assume you meant the i7-9700K CPU. That should good enough for Battlefield. However, looking at your screenshot, Battlefield is taking up less than 40% of your CPU usage and it is still running at 100%. So the problem is not in the game. Look at the NZXT CAM software for example. 21% CPU load just to control you fans and maybe a waterpump? That is ridiculous. Try playing Battlefield without CAM running in the background and see, if the problem persists.

    @N4v1sI took a new screenshot. And this is what happens every time. I fixed my NZXT cam, but BFV just takes more CPU Usage. Yes a i7-9700k

      @VictorDK87 Okay, so BFV does take all the CPU power it can. There is still something that is odd to me in your screenshots. In both of them the CPU has pretty much no load at all, but you are getting 70-100FPS. Are the screenshots made while playing the game or just in the startup timeframe?
      Nevertheless, running in CPU limit is mostly an instance of the GPU not working at its full potential. A very important video setting in that regard is Future Frame Rendering (FFR). Having it turned of makes the GPU run at half capacity and the CPU is maxed out. So if you do have it turned off, try using it and see what happens.

        I can confirm this. I had stuttering with an i7 4-core CPU @100% load. So I upgraded to an i7 8-core CPU at 8x5 Ghz and still had 100% CPU load and still stuttering.

        Later I found out it was the RAM. 

        Temporary solution: the freeware tool "Intelligent Standby List Cleaner".

        Permanent solution: Upgrade to 32GB fast RAM.
