Community ManagerSome graphics setting will push the CPU harder than the GPU and vice versa.
Experiment with the settings to find a good balance between the two.
Do check that Windows and your video drivers are up to date and you are not running other resource hungry applications at the same time as the game.
Thanks.
In my case I'm running an i9 9900K which is only about 15 to 25% utilised so I'm definitely not CPU limited.
I should however be heavily GPU limited but that is definitely not the case. On another Forum a developer has said that a GPU optimisation patch is on the way, can you confirm that and do you know when it will be made available?
So the patch is out on both Origin and Steam and it's made zero difference in either version. GPU is still not being fully utilised even if I push the resolution to 1440p the GPU still only gets 88 to 91% usage.
For reference all other games are running just fine so it's not an issue with my card so there's definitely an optimisation issue with this game.
Welcome to Codemasters games. Dirt Rally 2.0 had the same problem you guys are describing when the crowd is set to high/ultra. The crowd shadows basically were the issue. In more crowd heavy parts of the stage the GPU usage would tank low and cause stutter. Only present on Nvidia GPUs, AMD cards were fine. I reported to Nvidia and they confirmed it, but never got fixed on driver end. I'm guessing because it was a game issue. It's still present to this day. This game I can't even play yet due to that annoying license check failed bug I'm dealing with.
