Fords89: Hi

As the subject title I'm suffering with low fps caused by low GPU usage and have been unsuccessful so far in finding a fix and hoping someone may be able to help.

I am currently averaging around 25-30fps with a GPU usage that never seems to go above 50% my CPU usage sits around 20-30% with nothing running other than the game.

Nothing seems to affect this issue even when running on low quality settings the frame rate and GPU usage stay the same. However when I go into the dessert area away from roads etc it stutters down to 15fps then suddenly kicks up to 90+ fps and 95-98% GPU usage!! Then drops again when I go near a slightly built up area.

I'm confident that the issue lies within this game as I have played other titles such as COD Warzone, COD Cold War, GTA V etc. which all ran at well over 120 fps on high settings and had a high GPU usage.

Any help or guidance on resolving this would be much appreciated as it's such a good game but not being able to play at the systems full potential is extremely frustrating!

My system is as follows:

AMD Ryzen 9 5900X
Gigabyte RTX3080 10GB OC GPU
Corsair Vengeance Pro 32GB 3600 Mhz Memory
Windows 10 64 bit
Asus ROG Strix F Gaming X570 Mobo

TIA

TencentInvestor: I am sorry. It seems your GPU wants you to play a better game instead.

jon7882: Stop with the insults and stuff. He is enjoying something you didn't and thats fine.

TencentInvestor: It is not an insult. An insult would be calling you a fool for giving your money to crooks who sell you a broken product.
See, saying you're an idiot would be an attempt to demean you. But if I say you are a person who spends money on a broken product by a company that openly lied then I am merely stating facts.

JakobFel: I'm running a GTX 980 and I have a similar issue. Granted, I'm running the game on Windows 7 and my CPU is only slightly above the minimum requirement but still, the game definitely isn't using my GPU to its full potential. I did, however, discover that the Nvidia control panel had the game set to conserve power instead of pushing maximum performance, so perhaps that might help you out a little?

In general, I'm patiently waiting for CDPR to do some more optimization work to the game. Honestly, I've experienced more performance issues than actual bugs in the game. I've been using a tweaking tool from the 2077 Nexus site and it gave me a little bit of a boost but I think that once they optimize things, the game will run quite well because I've noticed the biggest issue for me is that the framerate is very inconsistent.
