Here is a video on my findings after a week of testing and an hour of recording on the many many issues with this remake.
All I can say is that it really seems like the game has been told to run as close to 50% CPU usage as possible and for some reason the game heats up any CPU to nearly 100 degrees C!
PLEASE FIX!!!!!!!!!!
I am on an i9-9900k and an RTX 2080 and none of the graphics settings improve the performance AT ALL!
replying to tag @EA_Barry and @EA_Illium this is the cause of the problem that everyone has been having with this game, CPU temps should not be hitting 100 degrees celsius but they are because of this awful bug!
@EA_Shepard I am also tagging you here as I have seen you are actively trying to help with this game, Vsync isn't working for me at all either
I have found the cause of the problem and made a post about it!

I need someone to reply to that post!
NONE OF THE COMMUNITY MANAGERS ARE REPLYING!
Community Manager@CuckiestBoi Hey, so this is going to be a situation where we have to find a cause and work around it. As there aren't any more updates to this, we would need quite a few players posting on this to get it escalated up.
I have launched this on 2 different machines, both very basic Windows installs and CPU usage has not rocketed to even close to 100% which typically indicates there is a common reason why multiple players are.
Can you attach a DxDiag?
If you see threads with others or know others that are recent reports let me know and have them post here.
Thank you so much for replying!
I have made 2 dxdiag files for you, one where im not doing anything and one where I'm actually in game.
And there are tons and I mean TONS of complaints about this game, I would point you to Digital Foundry's video about it as they go into some great details about the problems.
One of the biggest problems I see is that not many people are looking at the actual CPU temps whilst the game is running or loading but as soon as I loaded it up with rivatuner I saw immediately that there is a serious problem, as you can see towards the end of my video I test Crysis 3 remastered on max graphics and manage to get 144 and my temps are in the 70s as opposed to Dead Space remake where having all of the graphics turned off i barely get 60 and my CPU is hitting 100 degrees at only 50% utilisation.
Please let me know of anything else or any tools you would like me to run to show you whats happening, thank you again so much for replying as this is a huuuuge problem that everyone is having and I believe its down to poor implementation of CPU usage.
