CPU 100% Bug

Today downloaded NFS,

The game looks good on ultra 2560x1440. 144fps.

The only problem is my cpu is running 100% this must be a bug.

I contacted the support, but they don't listen and the expert clearly doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

Hope someone can help me out. or the game get patched soon. 

I got a I7 6900K with a 1080TI strix. 32gb ddr4 3000mhz ram

Should run perfectly fine like all other games on ultra.

  • 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 🙂

  • Hi,

    The solution i found is just lower the refresh to 75hrz with native resolution, mine is set at 1440p 75hrz and CPU utilization goes to 100% for few seconds while it loads up the user profile after that it goes back to normal, it stays between 40 to 50 percent depending on the map areas. Tried and tested solution.
