    I had a similar issue too. Running on a GTX 970m 3gb, i7-6700HQ, 16gb ddr4 ram at 1080p with medium-ultra settings

    I fixed the issue by going into the Nvida control panel and forcing NFS payback to run using my GPU in the program settings (it was set as automatic). My CPU usage went from 97-100% to about 65-70%. Doing this same process on other games fixes numerous other performance issues too

    The problem about this is that I'm doing this on a laptop, and I've heard from others that people with desktop GPU's can't really perform the same solution, as their version of the Nvidia control panel won't let them select which rendering device is forced to run for a specific application

    Hopefully this in some way helps 🙂

@Keberro Hey man

1. Right click anywhere on your desktop, and go to the Nvidia Control panel.

2. Inside the Nvidia control panel, on the left side there are a number of menus in blue text underneath "select a task." In the "3D Settings" category, click on manage 3D settings.

3. Once you click on that, the rest of the window to the right will open up the 3D settings. Underneath "I would like to use the following 3D settings," click the "Program settings" tab.

4. Once that tab opens up, in "1. Select a program to customize:" click on "Add". Another window will eventually pop up, asking you to select a program. Find the Battlefield V application, click it, then click "Add selected program" at the bottom of the window.

Btw, after clicking on "Add," the window may take some time to open, so don't panic if it seems like it isn't opening.

5. After clicking on "add selected program," the window will close. Now back in the Nvidia Control panel you should see that under "1. Select a program to customize:" now has the Battlefield V .exe selected in the drop down box. If you see it selected, then so far so good.

6. Now under "2. Select the preferred graphics processor for this program:" click on the drop down box, and choose the "high performance Nvidia processor" option.

7. Once your done that, click "apply" at the bottom right hand corner of the control panel. Give it a few seconds to make the changes, and you should be good to go.

This solution works for pretty much any game but it doesn't always work for everyone. Let me know if it worked for you.

Hello.
Thanks that was a little bit helpfull for me.
from 100% gone down to 60 - 70 - 80% it depends because the game is very high spec.
