[Old Report] Low GPU Usage and Framerate - WRC - DLSS no change

Stutters on initial track run, texture loading and compiling aside, I am concerned with the low GPU usage and framerate.  When running on a 4090 on max settings I get 60-70% GPU usage causing frame...

@ChadillacDad Any camera view with the car model in view will drop your frames drastically.

Try bumper cam, then switch to either dash cam or chase cam. you will see a massive difference.
Unfortunately, EA has not optimised this game very well, as the car model, uses so many resources, it basically cuts your FPS in half, from what it shows in Bumper cam.

    @rdalcroft 

    Same issue on all views, the GPU is just not being pulled. I can even turn on DLSS and it doesn't change. 

    Only getting 60-70% GPU usage when game is running.

    I will admit that the framerate is better on bumper cam, over 100, but I am still only getting 60% GPU usage. 

    When the game spins up the GPU to 100% the frame jump drastically. This happens when I pause the game, or momentarily when the race starts. After that the GPU usage drops again and the frame rate drops with it. 
    Again DLSS, lower settings, nothing can get it to draw the power of the 4090. 

    I think it's a 40 series driver issue, as @JG-skinny-racer  3080 doesn't have this issue.

      It's not just a problem with the 40 series.
      I have an Asus RTX 3080, and I'm also experiencing severe FPS issues.
      I don't encounter this issue in any other game.

      While playing WRC:

      CPU usage: 27%
      GPU usage: 64%
      FPS: 53-63

      It doesn't matter whether it's on ultra-low or ultra settings; the FPS remains the same, and there's stuttering.

      I'll probably remove this garbage, as this is an unplayable game…

        Honestly, for €49.99 it is very good, I have not had very high expectations, but the optimization on PC is a disaster, I have a 11700k paired with an RTX 4070, 32GB 3600Mhz and the game installed on an NVMe and for some unknown reason, The GPU is not used at 100%, it always runs around 45~65% usage. There is a lot of stuttering and the FPS sometimes drops below 60FPS due to low GPU usage. Please fix the optimization, this is not the time to give away our money. Thanks and regards.
