What resolution are you playing at, the lower the resolution the more stress on the CPU. Try your native res with settings on high and see what happens.
And why is your resolution so low. Its putting alot of load on your cpu not allowing your GPU to do all the work. This resolution is a bottleneck for your card. Try 1080p and you will see higher GPU usage. Also, play on higher settings, and dont use VSync. You will probably hit around 97-98% after these changes. (Aslong as your CPU isn't a big bottleneck in this scenario.
I have the same ram and mobo as you, b450 tomahawk and 16gb ddr4 3200mhz corsair vengeance rgb pro. What settings should I tweak to get it running at 3600? (Never OC'd ram before).
Thanks
Your CPU being at 50% is fine. Your GPU probably isnt around 100% because you're not playing on max settings. You are bottlenecking your 2080 because you are playing on 1080p. Get a 2k/4k monitor and you will see that percentage ramping up.
I had this issue, upgraded CPU + MOBO etc, but used my old windows on my SSD with my old drivers. Reinstalled windows, installed chipset drivers for my motherboard (B450) and it fixed it. You should try it if you haven't.
I use a rtx 2070. Installing this driver made BFV , BF1 , FH4 ALOT more pleasant to play. FH4 I get 20-30 fps more, BF5 / BF1 I get no more stuttering. It's good (For RTX cards atleast).
I turned that on, and my cpu fan started ramping up in RPM's. So I just disabled it, I want my pc to be quiet lol. Just using PBO now. Still having stutters though, although it could be windows / ram related.
Because the game stutters. Even with high fps. Like when explosions n shit happen, crowded area's, i maintain high fps but zooming in etc, just stutters. Its not a smooth experience.
