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...

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.
