Cpu usage low with low fps

[ChumpChewer]

So doom eternal came out and my pc is definetly good enough to run it, but when i run performance metrics on the game my cpu is clearly bottlenecking my performance. The problem is that my cpu usage never goes above 50%. Is this an optimization problem or is there something i can do to force my cpu to be used properly.

 

The reccomended requirements for the game are an i7-6700k and a gtx 1060 so i shouldnt have any problems. Furthermore, when i lower my settings i barely get a framerate difference.

 

any help is greatly appreciated

Hi, I also just made a thread about this sort of problem. 

I am having the same problem, but with a GTX 1060 and I see you have a 1070 in the picture even though you've mentioned a 1060 in the text.

maybe it's just a poorly optimised game. it just came out. wait for an nvidia driver update

Nvidia already released a driver update, just yesterday infact.

I meant the recommended requirements whoops.

 

specs are i7-6700k, gtx 1070, 32gb ddr4 2133hz(i know its not the best) and msi b150m

 

by the way my cpu is watercooled so it cant be a heating issue

You'd think, but

A GTX 1060 can apparently pull off an average of 60 fps on 1080p max.

Oh my god. I disabled steam fps counter and my fps is butter smooth. This is insane.

Try disabling all your fps counters except the Doom ingame one.
