battlefield games have always been cpu heavy, so seeing the 5500 performing like this doesn't surprise me tbh, in 1440p the gpu usage is around 70% most of the time.

@@solarknot I play 1440p with a 12600k and my 4070 I bought yesterday and I was at 40-60fps at Monte Grappa with CPU and GPU usage at like 40%… really weird.. Didn’t even get more fps even though I put resolution scale at 20%. Something is seriously wrong

@@UWfalcin do you have dx12 on by chance, that thing is a nightmare in battlefield 1 and 5, you have to play a bit then the performance gets better. Also there's an in game fps limiter make sure the game hasn't enabled it for some weird reason, you can also look in nvcp maybe there's something weird going on after you installed new drivers for the 4070, i don't really have anymore ideas of what could be going on. ( if you have dx12 enabled and a 60 fps frame rate limit enabled in game then that could explain why it's going between 40 and 60 fps because the game is caching stuff and that causes stuttering in bf 1 and 5, with dx11 you won't have stuttering as much, the stuttering is temporary tho with dx12 and the more you run around and play the game the smoother it gets. )

i don't really know what to say about that tbh

@@solarknot i have same specs did u install some kind of drivers?

@@Colea1872 nothing out of the ordinary, kept my pc up to date with everything that's about it. Okay so if you google "resident evil 2 no ray tracing" then there's a reddit thread that said something about it being removed last year for some reason. Some people also mentioned that it was on accident (don't know how that would happen) and that it would be fixed, you could look into that maybe it was never fixed or there is a fix for it somewhere.

@@solarknot ok thanks

no i haven't, but i would assume arma 2 would lag because at some points it does get the gpu to 99% even at 1080p ( i don't have the 3050 anymore so i cant really try either)

@@solarknot oh i see. Lol i have the game at 1080p with medium-high settings and my gpu is at 99% all the time. Though it seems to be the case with all games... or is it? i am ignorant about this

3080 does have better 4k performance, gamer nexus made a 4070 review where it was mostly the case.

interesting

​@@solarknotThats not true. My rx580 8gb runs this shit at 4k ultra 60fps

umm i'm sorry but i don't think i understand😕

Same! I gave up on it months ago.

I have similar memories with far cry 3, used to spend way too much time on it :D

Wow thanks! I thought it was impossible to unlock the fps in this one...

​@@HeartOfAdeII yeah same, just stumbled upon it when browsing nexusmods, the mod is pretty new aswell, works way better than i expected tbh.

@@solarknot yeah I just tested it, it works nicely but the game seems to be limited by something in a way. I thought it could be the cpu? I tested it with my max oc 9900KS / 3080 At 4K same settings as you (in Nassau) I'm getting 60fps by the sea, worst drops are 50-55 in the denser area. At 1440p 100 fps and drops to 95 in the foresty area. But weirdly gpu usage is still below 95%. I think it's an engine limitation. Setting AA to SMAA helps significantly

​@@HeartOfAdeII hmmm did you use the 4k best settings, just curious, if not, then disable soft shadows it helped quite abit.

@solarknot thank you bro, i looking for this. one more subs

I had the pc built already with a different card and the 4070 was an upgrade, my thought process was that i would later buy a better cpu.

@@solarknot 😀🌹

Actually, you made me look why my gpu was getting bottlenecked. I realize the game had been running on E-Cores only for quite some time now. Fixed it with Process Lasso and can confirm my 4070S is running 99% at around 180-230 fps

@@kamizeroxI have the same exact problem, I have a powerful gpu and cpu. I’ve tried almost everything. In multiplayer, my game drops below 60 fps and for some reason my gpu utilization drops in more intensive scenes with lots of players. It seems my Ryzen 7 5700x bottlenecks my 6800xt, but I have no idea why and it’s just this game. How did you fix yours?

@@turnip1744 Make sure you use Direct X12 so there is much less CPU bottleneck. Then use process lasso to assign the game High Priority Class and High I/O Priority. Make sure Steam / Epic Launcher doesn't have low Priority Class or make sure they're normal because somehow, the anti-cheat would copy the same low priority class or same CPU affinity as what the launchers were assigned. Also make sure none of those processes are running on Efficiency status. If that doesn't work, assign all the other background processes with CPU affinity 0-3 (depending how many cores you want for background tasks divided by 2 for hyperthreading). Then let the game have CPU 2-16 or 4-16 so only the game runs on those cores you assign. I didn't need to do the last two suggestions as my problem was stemming from my game being assigned by windows to run on my Efficiency Cores. All else fails, lower the timer that bodies stay on screen as they take more CPU power especially on 64-player Objective maps.

i mean that was the point, checking the worst case and this was the worst i saw after playing it abit

i hope you did not get a 3050

@@Sandfill You are saying thay to a 4 month comment, ofc i did it and i did not regret it, it is great

@@Filip-nw5mv bro said a 3050 was good rx 6600: am i useless rx 5700xt: am i useless 2060: am i useless 2070: am i useless 1080: am i useless 1070TI: am i useless

@@Sandfill I do not live in the USA, that thing is actually more cheaper than those you mentioned since everyone down here buy all of that stuff and 60 FPS is 60 FPS and i'm happy with that.

@@Filip-nw5mv what world do you live in where a 3050 is cheaper than all of those xD

i was playing with bots

Not sure, if there is i didn't find it. The only thing you can do is disable it really.

sounds like a cpu swap is a better idea, did you check what the gpu usage is ?

@@solarknot It was like 50% CPU 20 % gpu maybe my power supply is not enough, 650W plus 50 Gold edition

Well if your gpu is 50% that can only really be the cpu limiting it. 650w should be just about enough, 40 series cards don't require all that much anymore compared to 30 series cards. I'd say you need a better cpu but that would mean a new motherboard aswell. Or just play at 4k on your tv that's also a choice.

Also i don't know if you mean 50% efficiency psu because that would also not be great.

You could try and run games at higher resolution to see if the the wattage rises. Use DSR in your nvidia control panel or if you have a 4k tv use that.

after about 40 hours everything seemed to break constantly for me

assassin's creed valhalla

@@solarknot lather me in butter and call me a biscuit that shit is banger

60, this video wasn't meant to show something the game can't do, it was more so about the stability of what the parts can provide.

CPU is limiting the framerate that the GPU is able to push out.

no

Sorry for the late reply, you could sell the 5500 probably won't get alot from it but it could help, where i live a brand new ryzen 7 5700x costs about 178eur and a ryzen 7 5800x costs 204eur, so if the prices are similar where you live, i'd go with the 5700x or 5800x and sell the 5500 to help cover the cost of it at least a little bit. Again sorry for the late reply.

If you mean my comment that i pinned then, it's more so an overall heads up, even in this game on 1440p as you probably saw GPU usage dropped into the 80% range at times, this is because ac games are more CPU heavy than most, the AI is what is the main cause for the heavy CPU usage. Also if 1440p is becoming more and more popular among people and this processor is having trouble running games at that resolution, then i consider it a good heads up ( most people don't play on 4k, 1080p is still the most used resolution ). sorry for the long reply, but i hope it explains something at least :)

Nope, never played it.

Yeah, but i don't exactly know when, i've been very all over the place with everything for the past few months so i don't know when i will be doing what. Not a very useful answer sadly.

@@solarknot It's ok. I will continue to follow the channel and hope to see more of those benchs. Thanks for the videos!

Makes sense, 13400 is faster

Well i mean the 4070 is at 70% - 80% on 1080p, ryzen 5 5500 is holding it back a bit, with a better cpu the experience should be much more pleasant.

@@solarknot Yes, i get between 100 - 140fps on 1080p ultra with my RTX 4070 and i5-13500. I`m currently waiting for my new 1440p monitor.

Well, i built this pc before buying the 4070. I had a 3050 before it and because the budget was very strict at that point, i could not afford a better cpu and whatever else. When the 4070 released i thought why not buy it, i could always buy a better cpu later if i have to.

@@solarknot Do you know if a b550m-supports an i5 13400f?

@@MoeNishonov Definitely not

i did tho, it needed dlss on 4k only and on 1440p you only needed to drop the ray tracing setting by one from very high to high, i didn't see any difference between very high and high ray tracing in regards to visual quality.
