Some games really dont like the i7 9700K, i have it too, should perform a lot better but you get 100% usage in some games for no reason at all, its a known thing with the 9700k across a whole lot of games like MW and Cyberpunk. Do you also get the cpu usage that high? 

It will hit a 100% but go back normal. Had a bad issue with the 8700 that's why I've upgraded. Cpu runs cool tho
