Hey everyone, I'm playing Cyberpunk 2077 with a 5800X3D and a 3070 Ti at 1080p. I'm noticing that my CPU utilization often hits 70% and can go even higher, while my GPU usage is around 80-90%. It even dips to 50% during certain areas and police encounters, which really tanks my FPS because the CPU usage spikes above 80%. I've just updated to the latest NVIDIA driver (581.08), and I'm wondering if that's causing these performance issues. Is this kind of CPU demand normal for the 5800X3D in this game?

It sounds like Cyberpunk 2077 is indeed pretty CPU-intensive, especially during more demanding scenes. If you’re seeing high CPU usage, it could just be how the game is optimized. Have you tried rolling back your NVIDIA drivers? That might help resolve any performance issues you’re facing after the update.
I had a similar experience! My CPU used to max out too while my GPU was underutilized. It might be worth trying some different settings in the game or even doing a driver rollback to see if that makes a difference.
Yeah, the CPU can really get taxed in Cyberpunk. It’s a resource-heavy game. You might want to check some benchmarks for setups similar to yours. Also, make sure your temperatures are okay since you don’t want thermal throttling to affect performance.
