I just got Madden 23 today and tried to play, I heard the fans inside my pc speed up once a while during gaming. Then i found out Madden 23 took 100% usage of my cpu and only 50-60% of my gpu. As you can see below, the cpu usage went up to 85-90% when it is on main menu, it went up to 100% when i was playing MUT or quick game. I tried everything I find online, Shader Cache, low in-game quantity, non-fullscreen, lock to 60 fps, no V-sync, run System File Checker tool, etc. And it just happens with Madden 23, everything is fine with other games like Madden 22,FIFA 22,2K22, etc Please help me with this!My Bulid:i7-9700kNVIDIA RTX 2080 SUPER(8G)ASUS ROG STRIX Z390-H GAMING16G RAM

OMG!!!!Thank you so much for your answer, you just made my day! It works! I really works! I did add madden 23 in nvidia panel before i turn this problem here, but i turn the v-sync off in the panel. So I tried your way, open madden 23 and turn v-sync then it works! Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@WFD-DANIK I can't find the ini file in documents, only a dat file. Game is silky smooth then randomly spikes to 75-90% CPU usage and I have to wait for the game to catch up. Completely ruins online play ☹️

Any suggestions or alternative locations for file?

Build:
Intel Core i9 9900K @ 3.60GHz
