Bus sim 21 using up 80% of my i7 7gen

[SIMONIMO3]

Using a 1660ti 

And a 7gen i7

Not really familiar with the game, but the 7700/K are old Skylake based quad cores, it isn't unheard of for them to be near maxed out in newer games. That being said it probably isn't a problem if you're satisfied with your current performance, and it's currently a decent pairing with the gpu you have.

The recommend specs is a i5 4400 so i feel that it should not take up 80% of a i7 7700 i have a really bad cpu Cooler so it is at a 87 Celsius and i am worried it will damage the cpu

87 won't damage the CPU   Its toasty, but not dangerous.   Games like Bus sim 21 are extremely unoptimized, same with Consuction Simulator.. No game like construction simulator pushes my RTX 4080 so hard, and it looks like garbage.   What framerate are you getting?

60fps (have a 60 Hz monitor and v sync on)

70% GPU medium high settings

Note: lowering graphics settings does not affect CPU usage for me i tried it)

For comparison ETS2 max settings 60% gpu 75fps

Your temperatures are within an acceptable range and you are getting the best performance our monitor will actually allow you to appreciate. I'm not seeing a problem.

Simulation games are very CPU intensive, changing graphics settings won’t have a big impact on your CPU usage.
