Like I said earlier, this game is so new that all of the posts I try to find that are relevant to high CPU usage for BF5, just translates to searches for BF1, which "solutions" I also attempted and nothing helped. There were also some Google searches that mention turning the "Maximum pre-rendered frames" to "1", may have helped others with low GPU usage in Battlefield 1, but does nothing for Battlefield 5. The steps I've taken so far is changing all of the video settings to see if any particular graphic setting was causing a rise/drop in CPU, or a rise/drop in GPU usage. #3 List all the steps you've already tried to resolve the issue Meanwhile with graphic settings maxed out, my GTX 1070 doesn't go above 59% usage. Changing any and all video settings has zero influence on the high usage of my CPU. I also thought maybe if I crank the graphic settings high enough, it would off-balance the CPU usage and put some more strain onto the GPU, which it does not. Even with the lowest of settings, CPU still bounces between 80-100% usage while in game. Constantly running a CPU this hot will eventually cause the CPU to develop errors of its own. I don't want to run a game for extended periods of time when my CPU is practically cooking, even in my case where there aren't any immediate errors, such as any system (crash/hang) or graphical (FPS drop/stuttering) instability.

#2 A detailed description of the problem you're having including screenshots and full error codes/messages where applicableĪlthough I don't have issues with the game crashing, or any other graphical errors for that matter, it's a shame when I read I had to turn my graphics down to take the load off of my CPU.

There was another similar thread, marked as "solved" saying that GPU usage isn't reflected accurately in Windows Task Manager, but we use ASUS GPU Tweak II to monitor our GPU usage in this thread. People say to turn your settings and frame rate down, although this may help for some, it doesn't explain why my GPU does not go above 60% usage, even with GPU Restrictions turned off. The game is so new, that people are still having this same exact high CPU/low GPU problems from when BF1 was new. There are currently no other existing, relevant solutions that I could find after hours of Googling, and searching through EA's knowledge base. #1 Check Answers HQ and game forums for already existing threads, posts and solutions
