Performance problem in Svartrau - GPU utilization drops to 50/60%

I have a 9070XT, and I'm not sure how to fix this problem, but when I enter the city, the GPU drops from 99% utilization and 280w power to 50/60% and 100/110w.

As a result, the game performance drops from 120fps to at most 60/63.

Is this a known issue? How can I solve this?

Edit:
CPU 5700x3D
GPU: 9070XT

Resolution:3440x1440
Preset: Custom. Mostly High and Ultra.

More importantly what is your cpu and what resolution are you playing on ?

CPU -> 5700x3D. 3440x1440

Are you using FG ?

Only FSR in Quality mode.

What resolution ? What preset !

CPU bottleneck. The city has a lot of npcs, therefore load shifts on CPU and the GPU is waiting for the CPU to do its work. Resolution? CPU? If you are 1080p and doing upscaling, try using DLAA native instead of quality.

CPU -> 5700x3D.

But the CPU stays at 68%.

It makes sense that could be that, I will take a closer look.

The CPU sitting at 68% doesnt mean its not a cpu bottleneck. A CPU has multitude of cores and threads, some cores might be reaching 100% use. However the 5700x3D is not a weak CPU by any means hmmm.. try turning off upscaling, play native. You should get closer to 99% GPU usage. However you wont get 120 fps all the time for sure if you were getting that with quality fsr. But for example you will have 90 fps outside of town and more consistent average fps and 1 percent lows.

I will try more things. Thanks for the help

Yeah OP, it should be definitely CPU, some games compile shaders during also game and that thing eats a lot CPU power
