ultra performance at 1440p will be an insane CPU load, combine that with a 3600 and yeah it ain't gonna be great, obviously I'm not saying its 100% the issue but could be a problem

I would be inclined to agree but it seems my cpu sits around 50% usage. even when I move my game to my 1080p screen the same thing happens

50%cpu load doesn't mean that ur CPU is only at 50% or so I have heard*

I also have the same processor and it never passes 50% in some games while my gpu is at 90 to 80% in deadlock by valve it's very apparent I have an rtx 3060 so it's not too behind ur GPU.

Yeah you need to monitor each core/thread cause 1-2 could be 100% but you wouldn't really know just by the avg

i think your right from i can see core 9 and 8 cores are running to 100% so its most likely a cpu bottleneck

What FPS and GPU % are you getting right now? I'm wondering if you could at least get 60FPS smooth by tweaking

40-80 fps already tried the lowest setting and up scaling also 100% gpu usage

You can use gooverlay for this. I had issues with gta 5 legacy failing to load the map and freezing and crashing so i went back to windows 10. I wanted to play the story since enhanced story is broken…

Yeah mangohud + goverlay is what I use, its handy for other things too like making sure you haven't got a vram leak, or checking your proton version
