ME1 Citadel FPS Drops
Hi, I started ME1 earlier and was having a blast...until I got to the Citadel. Now I'm just frustrated. Essentially, the game has been running pretty much perfectly at 144 FPS. However, if I walk o...

To get some info here, how big is the difference in the utilisation of your highest utilised CPU core between an area where the game runs "normally" and the areas where there are frame drops?
Here are some screenshots of the fps drops I encountered on the citadel. There are two really noticeable locations.
Location 1: right out the citadel embassy.
Location 2: one of the elevator going down to the wards (I think) with a Turian chilling on the bench outside.
From what I noticed, its really hard to tell what the CPU usage is, because for me all cores are bouncing from as low as 15% usage to as high as 70% usage in both normal FPS scenario and when the FPS drops. Although when the FPS is normal CPU usage is more stable. I would say the average is around 40% when stable. No cores were maxed out even during the FPS dips.
I'm running the game with Vsync off on an average 4k monitor without no G-sync, Freesync, adaptive sync etc. My CPU is i7-6700HQ and GPUis RTX 2080Ti hooked up through a graphics amplifier (sorry rtx 2080ti for abusing you xd, you deserve better than to be caged like this).
- Press "STRG + ALT + Del" to open the Task Manager.
- Open "More Details" if it is not already set this way.
- Click on the "Performance" Tab
- At the bottom of the Performance Tab > Click on "Open Resource Monitor"
- Choose the "CPU" tab.
- Now all threads of your CPU should be visible in graphs.
One thread should be clearly more taxed in game.
- @holger1405 Oh yep. For me CPU4 is running at around 70-80% when fps is normal. When the FPS dips it pretty much gets close to maxed out around 90%. All the other cores rarely goes above 50% at all times.
This is using the resource monitor graphs like you mentioned. Thanks for that.
